Crypto.com launches US crypto perpetuals as offshore venues dominate trading

On October 27, 2026, Crypto.com and OG.com launched regulated crypto perpetual futures with leverage of up to 5x for eligible U.S. traders. Contracts can be accessed by retail customers via the Crypto.com App, while advanced and institutional traders can access them on the Crypto.com Exchange platform. However, successfully launching the products in the US is just the start. The next challenge is persuading traders to transfer their activities away from offshore exchanges that still handle most of the perpetual futures trading. How the 5x leverage math works Perpetual futures have no expiry date. Instead, payments between long and short traders help keep prices close to the spot market. Crypto.com settles them three times a day.
