Crypto.com registers with SEC to trade single-stock futures in the US
Nadex clears SEC registration for security futures
Crypto.com's US derivatives exchange, North American Derivatives Exchange (Nadex), has officially registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to trade security futures. The registration became effective on September 14, 2026.
The exchange operates under the brand name OG.com. CEO Kris Marszalek stated that this registration allows the company to bring single-stock futures to the US market. He also noted that the company is currently working with regulators to offer single-stock perpetual futures, which are futures contracts that do not have a fixed expiration date.
Key numbers and facts
- Nadex registered with the SEC to trade security futures through OG.com.
- The registration became effective on September 14, 2026.
- The SEC acknowledged the filing on September 16, two days after submission.
- Crypto.com is separately seeking approval for single-stock perpetual futures.
What the CEO said on X
Kris Marszalek posted on X that the company is collaborating with the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to offer single-stock perpetual futures in the US. He described the move as combining digital asset market innovations with US capital markets. Nadex is already registered with the CFTC as a designated contract market and derivatives clearing organization.
Competitors and recent partnerships
Coinbase filed a similar notice registration earlier in September 2026, seeking to list equity perpetual futures in the US. Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad indicated that approval from the CFTC would also be required.
Earlier this month, Robinhood entered a deal with Crypto.com and OG.com to route specific event contracts through the platform, starting with football markets. Robinhood also agreed to take equity stakes in both companies following OG.com's spin-off as an independent trading platform.
Why this matters for traders
Stock perpetual futures are a type of derivative contract that allows traders to speculate on the price of a single stock without owning the actual shares. These contracts are popular in crypto markets but are not common in traditional US stock markets. By obtaining SEC registration, Crypto.com is moving to bring this specific trading style into the regulated US environment, bridging the gap between crypto-style trading and traditional equity markets.
