Key Highlights:
- Crypto.com and OG.com rolled out crypto perpetual contracts for eligible US traders on October 27, 2026.
- The new service lets traders use up to 5x leverage, so they can trade bigger positions while putting up less initial margin.
- Users can go long or short and manage trades with take-profit, stop-loss, and isolated-margin tools.
- The rollout is happening across the Crypto.com App and Crypto.com Exchange, using a regulatory setup with CFTC-regulated entities.
Crypto.com and OG.com are opening up more options for US traders with the launch of crypto perpetual contracts. Announced on October 27, 2026, this service targets eligible US traders who want to trade digital assets without worrying about contract expiration dates. With this launch, Crypto.com is moving beyond spot trading and giving users more ways to respond to price changes in crypto markets.
The new offering is available through Crypto.com’s network. That means retail customers can use the Crypto.com App, and institutional or advanced traders can tap into the Crypto.com Exchange. To get this running, Crypto.com registered as an Introducing Broker with the National Futures Association (NFA). OG.com’s infrastructure powers the service, including a CFTC-regulated exchange, clearinghouse, and Futures Commission Merchant.
Perpetual Contracts Bring Continuous Trading Opportunities
One big feature here is perpetual contracts, which don’t have set expiration dates. Instead of forcing traders to close or replace positions just because time’s up, these contracts let them stay in the market as long as they want. That fits well with crypto markets, where prices can shift any time of day.
With these contracts, traders can bet on rising prices (long), or falling prices (short). This flexibility is handy for finding opportunities even if the market’s going up or down, and gives investors a way to hedge against short-term price movements.
The product is meant to support 24/7 trading, but for details on which digital assets are available and the specific rules, users need to check Crypto.com’s US information page.
Up to 5x Leverage and Built-In Risk Controls
Crypto Perpetuals offer up to 5x leverage, letting traders take on positions much larger than their upfront margin. This helps users get more market exposure without risking the full value right away.
But leverage isn’t all upside; it increases the risks if prices move against you. Even small price changes can have a bigger impact on your margin, depending on the position’s size and other rules.
To help manage these risks, traders can set take-profit and stop-loss levels before they open a trade. There’s also an isolated margin, which keeps the money committed to a single trade separated from the rest of your account. These tools help you set limits and manage exposure, though they don’t guarantee you’ll avoid losses or get a perfect exit price.
App and Exchange Access Under a Regulated Structure
The rollout covers both the Crypto.com App for retail users and the Crypto.com Exchange for advanced traders. Each platform has trading screens fitted to its audience.
Crypto.com and OG.com teamed up for this launch; Crypto.com is the face for customers, while OG.com handles the derivatives infrastructure. Crypto.com’s status as an Introducing Broker with the NFA is part of how this offering comes together. OG.com Markets acts as a designated contract market and derivatives clearing organization with the CFTC, and OG.com Broker is a CFTC-registered Futures Commission Merchant.
This launch is bigger than just perpetual contracts. Crypto.com says it’s building an ecosystem where customers can handle spot trading, derivatives, prediction markets, and rewards all in one place. That way, people can hold onto crypto for the long run, but also use derivatives to react quickly to short-term market moves.
Details about available markets, supported tokens, and trading terms are on Crypto.com’s US platform. Only eligible US traders can access the product, and the announcement doesn’t list all the supported assets or outline every contract detail.
