Crypto perpetual futures became available to eligible US traders on October 27, 2026, through OG.com’s distribution network, including the Crypto.com App and Exchange. The contracts have no fixed expiration date and offer leverage of up to 5x.

Key Takeaways

  • The rollout covers retail users of the Crypto.com App and institutional and advanced users of the Exchange.
  • Traders can take long or short positions, but leverage magnifies losses as well as gains.

How crypto perpetual futures are available

The companies’ launch announcement says the rollout began across the Crypto.com App and Exchange for eligible US traders. Trading is available around the clock, subject to platform operating and risk controls.

The initial contracts are linked to Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, Hyperliquid’s HYPE, Zcash and Sei. Users can set take-profit and stop-loss orders and use isolated margin, which assigns collateral to an individual position rather than exposing the entire account balance to that trade.

Leverage and the US trading structure

Unlike conventional futures, perpetual contracts do not have a predetermined expiry. Funding payments help keep their prices aligned with underlying markets, and positions can remain open as long as margin requirements continue to be met.

At 5x leverage, $200 of margin can provide approximately $1,000 of market exposure. That increases the effect of price movements on the capital committed. Stop-loss orders do not guarantee protection from losses during rapid market moves or adverse execution.

Crypto.com recently registered with the National Futures Association as an introducing broker. An affiliated futures commission merchant carries customer accounts, while the contracts trade through CFTC-regulated exchange and clearing infrastructure operated under the OG.com and Crypto.com derivatives businesses.
