Crypto.com Gets SEC Nod for Single-Stock Futures in US

Crypto.com has cleared a significant regulatory hurdle in its history by securing approval from the SEC for single-stock futures in the US. The company's CEO, Kris Marszalek, announced on September 17 that it had received confirmation of its Form 1-N registration, which will allow it to offer single-stock perpetual contracts to American traders.

The North American Derivatives Exchange (Nadex), which operates under the Crypto.com Derivatives North America and OG.com brands, filed the notice registration with the SEC. The company is working closely with both the SEC and CFTC to bring single-stock futures to the US market. Unlike standard futures that expire on a set date, perpetual contracts roll indefinitely.

This approval comes after Crypto.com secured a full suite of CFTC licenses in September 2025, including derivatives clearing organization status. The company had already begun offering tokenized stock derivatives to eligible users outside the US by August 2026. With this development, institutional investors will have an interesting proposition, as they can layer in equity exposure without switching venues.
