The permissions position Crypto.com to bring leveraged crypto trading under established U.S. derivatives rules.

Overview

  • Crypto.com Derivatives North America received an amended DCM license, a DCO amendment and FCM registration from the CFTC on September 26, 2025.
  • The approvals authorize the company to list, intermediate and clear trades while offering margined derivatives on cryptocurrencies, including perpetual contracts, under U.S. oversight.
  • Crypto.com says it is preparing to integrate these margined products into its broader platform, with availability subject to jurisdictional approvals and operational readiness.
  • The company’s multi-stage review included extensive filings and multiple trading demonstrations for CFTC staff before the licenses were granted.
