Crypto.com and OG.com launched crypto perpetual contracts for eligible US traders on October 27, 2026, offering up to 5x leverage and round-the-clock trading. The product lets users take positions on rising or falling prices without a contract expiration date, with access through the Crypto.com App and Crypto.com Exchange.
Key takeaways
- The US offering combines perpetual contracts with leverage of up to 5x.
- Traders have access to take-profit, stop-loss and isolated-margin controls.
- Crypto.com handles customer access, while OG.com supplies regulated derivatives infrastructure.
How the US crypto perpetual contracts work
The contracts have no expiration date and support 24/7 trading for eligible US users. Unlike contracts with a fixed expiry, they allow traders to maintain market exposure without closing or replacing a position simply because its term has ended.
Users can go long to position for price increases or short to position for declines. The offering also gives traders a way to hedge against short-term price movements, extending Crypto.com’s services beyond spot trading.
Access is split by audience: retail customers use the Crypto.com App, while institutional and advanced traders use the Crypto.com Exchange. Each platform provides trading screens tailored to its users.
Up to 5x leverage, with controls for individual trades
The product offers up to 5x leverage, allowing traders to open larger positions with less initial margin. Leverage also magnifies the effect of adverse price movements on that margin.
Traders can set take-profit and stop-loss levels before opening a position. These tools let users establish limits for their trades and manage their exposure.
Isolated margin separates the funds committed to an individual trade from the rest of the account. Together, these features provide position-level controls alongside the product’s leveraged trading options.
Crypto.com and OG.com divide the regulated roles
Crypto.com provides customer-facing access, while OG.com powers the derivatives infrastructure. Crypto.com holds Introducing Broker registration with the National Futures Association, or NFA.
Within OG.com’s infrastructure, OG.com Markets serves as a designated contract market and derivatives clearing organization under the CFTC. OG.com Broker is registered with the CFTC as a Futures Commission Merchant.
The crypto perpetual contracts launch forms part of Crypto.com’s stated plan to bring spot trading, derivatives, prediction markets and rewards into one ecosystem. Crypto.com says that approach combines services for longer-term crypto holdings with derivatives for responding to short-term market moves.
