Crypto.com and OG.com Launch Regulated Crypto Perpetuals for US Traders

OG.com and Crypto.com have launched Crypto Perpetuals for eligible US traders, marking a significant expansion of regulated derivatives in the American market. By registering as an Introducing Broker with the National Futures Association, Crypto.com now provides retail and institutional users with non-expiring contracts, offering a sophisticated toolkit for hedging and capital efficiency within a compliant framework.

What was announced

The new offering introduces continuous, non-expiring crypto perpetual contracts designed for 24/7 trading across major digital assets. The rollout is aimed at a broad spectrum of users, including retail investors using the Crypto.com App and institutional or advanced traders on the Crypto.com Exchange. To facilitate this, Crypto.com has registered as an Introducing Broker with the National Futures Association (NFA). The service operates through OG.com’s infrastructure, which includes a Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulated exchange, clearinghouse, and futures commission merchant.

Key features of the Crypto Perpetuals product include the ability to deploy up to 5x leverage, allowing for broader market exposure with lower initial margin commitments. Traders can take both long and short positions, enabling profit potential in various market conditions. The platform also incorporates integrated risk controls, such as Take-Profit and Stop-Loss orders, alongside Isolated Margin functionality to limit risk on a per-trade basis. This derivatives suite is integrated into the wider Crypto.com ecosystem, allowing users to manage spot assets, prediction markets, and rewards within a single interface. The rollout begins today, featuring tailored interfaces for different user levels to ensure both intuitive controls for retail and advanced execution for professionals.

The companies involved

Crypto.com is a prominent player in the global digital asset space, known for its mobile application and exchange services. The company has maintained a high profile in the industry, with FF News tracking its developments across 35 previous reports. OG.com functions as the regulated backbone for this new venture, operating as a CFTC-regulated exchange, clearinghouse, and futures commission merchant. This infrastructure is critical for offering derivatives in the United States, where regulatory compliance is a prerequisite for institutional participation. Kris Marszalek serves as the Founder and CEO of both entities, overseeing a strategy that increasingly bridges the gap between traditional financial regulation and the 24/7 nature of cryptocurrency markets. The partnership leverages OG.com’s regulatory status and Crypto.com’s distribution network to reach both retail and professional segments of the market, having appeared in three previous FF News reports.

What FF News has reported before

The launch of Crypto Perpetuals follows a period of active expansion and partnership for Crypto.com. In September 2026, FF News covered how Crypto.com and ZagTrader Partner to Boost Institutional Digital Asset Access in MENA, highlighting the firm's focus on professional-grade infrastructure. More recently, the platform has been involved in diversifying its ecosystem, as seen when PredictArena Launches Creator-Centric Prediction Market with Crypto.com Partnership.

What this means

The introduction of regulated perpetuals in the US market is a direct challenge to the dominance of offshore, unregulated platforms that have historically hosted the bulk of crypto derivative volume. By providing a CFTC-regulated environment, OG.com and Crypto.com are addressing a significant gap in the domestic market, potentially attracting institutional capital that was previously sidelined by compliance concerns. However, the move also places the spotlight on the sustainability of 5x leverage for retail users within a unified app. As the sector moves toward more complex instruments, the industry faces an open question regarding whether regulatory oversight will keep pace with the speed of 24/7 digital asset markets, or if the increased accessibility will lead to tighter restrictions on retail participation in high-risk derivatives.
