Crypto.com Secures SEC Registration to Launch Single-Stock Futures in US

Summary

• Crypto.com’s Nadex secured SEC registration for single-stock futures, while planned perpetual contracts still require additional regulatory approval in American markets.
• Coinbase is pursuing similar equity perpetual products, highlighting stronger competition among cryptocurrency platforms entering regulated United States securities derivatives markets.
• Robinhood will route selected event contracts through OG.com while acquiring equity stakes in Crypto.com and OG.com following the platform’s separation.

Crypto.com has secured SEC registration for Nadex to offer regulated single-stock futures through the independent OG.com trading platform. According to the SEC filing, Nadex registered as a national securities exchange specifically for trading security futures products.

Crypto.com and Coinbase Pursue Regulated Stock Futures

Nadex submitted its Form 1-N notice on September 14, with the registration becoming effective upon submission. Moreover, the SEC acknowledged the filing on September 16, confirming that Nadex completed the required registration process.

The approval allows Nadex to operate as a national securities exchange solely for trading authorized security futures products. CEO Kris Marszalek confirmed that the registration authorizes the company to introduce single-stock futures in the United States. According to his X post, Crypto.com is working with the SEC and CFTC on single-stock perpetual futures without predetermined expiration dates.

However, Crypto.com still requires additional regulatory approval before offering those perpetual contracts to American customers. Coinbase submitted a similar registration notice in September while pursuing plans to list equity perpetual futures.

Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad explained that the exchange would also require authorization from the CFTC. Both initiatives show how cryptocurrency companies are adapting perpetual contract structures for products tied to traditional company shares.

Nadex and Robinhood Expand OG.com’s Regulated Market Reach

Nadex already holds CFTC registrations as a designated contract market and a derivatives clearing organization. The framework provides OG.com with regulated infrastructure for listing contracts and processing financial obligations between participating traders.

Crypto.com separated OG.com into an independent trading platform while expanding its regulated derivatives operations across the United States. Robinhood also reached agreements with Crypto.com and OG.com in September concerning the distribution of selected event contracts.

Under that partnership, Robinhood will route certain event contracts through OG.com, beginning with football-related markets. Furthermore, Robinhood agreed to acquire equity stakes in Crypto.com and OG.com following the platform’s separation.

Crypto.com must obtain regulatory clearance before making single-stock perpetual contracts available to American traders. Nadex’s registration establishes the legal foundation for Crypto.com’s planned single-stock futures expansion in the United States.
