Singapore-based Crypto.com has widened its U.S. presence with a first-of-its-kind regulatory win, securing every major CFTC derivatives license needed to trade and clear crypto derivatives.
The company said it now holds approvals for a designated contract market (DCM), a futures commission merchant (FCM) and a derivatives clearing organisation (DCO), making it the first major crypto platform to claim the full stack in the United States.
Its affiliate, Crypto.com | Derivatives North America (CDNA), announced that it had received an amendment to its DCM license, enabling margined derivatives trading alongside existing fully collateralised products.
Just days earlier, Crypto.com confirmed approvals for a DCO amendment and FCM registration, with its FCM entity listed at the National Futures Association.
CDNA, already a CFTC-registered exchange and clearinghouse, filed for the amendment and provided extensive documentation and multiple trading demonstrations for review by CFTC staff before the approval was granted.

“This full stack of CFTC-approved derivatives licenses enables Crypto.com to seamlessly provide clients with the most comprehensive derivatives trading experience, alongside Crypto.com’s additional product offerings including spot markets, prediction markets, stocks, qualified custody, credit and debit cards, and more.
We sincerely appreciate the partnership with Acting Chairman Pham and the CFTC, who are working hard to carry out the crypto agenda of President Trump. We are ready to bring regulated derivatives to retail customers in the U.S. through one interface.”
said Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto.com.

“CDNA has been building a robust exchange and clearinghouse for multiple products and we are excited to head to the launch of our margined derivatives using state of the art technology focused on best-in-class risk management.
We look forward to continued and productive engagement with Acting Chairman Pham and CFTC Staff.”
said Travis McGhee, Managing Director, Global Head of Capital Markets of Crypto.com.
CDNA will announce details of its margined derivatives products in the coming weeks.
