Crypto.com Advances Into US Stock Futures
Crypto.com is deepening its push into the American derivatives market, working to launch single-stock futures through its OG.com platform. The Securities and Exchange Commission has acknowledged a Form 1-N filing submitted by the North American Derivatives Exchange, known as Nadex, dated September 16. Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek confirmed the company is coordinating with both the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as it prepares the new offering.
Single-stock futures allow traders to gain exposure to the future price movements of individual company shares without owning the underlying stock outright. Crypto.com is not alone in chasing this opportunity — Kalshi and Coinbase are both pursuing regulatory approval for comparable stock-linked futures products in the US market. Robinhood has also recently expanded its partnership with Crypto.com and OG.com, a move that reflects growing momentum around prediction-market-style trading tied to traditional equities.
SEC Moves Toward 24-Hour Trading, Inspired by Crypto Markets
The Crypto.com news lands alongside a broader regulatory shift already underway at the SEC. On September 17, the agency convened a public roundtable at its Washington headquarters to examine what it would take to bring round-the-clock trading to US equity markets. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins framed the initiative as part of a structural evolution, noting that American markets are "moving toward a new day — and night."
The roundtable brought together exchange operators, broker-dealers, and market-structure experts to discuss overnight surveillance, clearance and settlement changes, and investor-protection safeguards needed to support near-continuous trading. Notably, the discussion draws heavily on the crypto industry's own experience: platforms such as Kraken, Binance, Gemini, and Crypto.com itself already offer tokenized versions of US stocks that trade 24/7, giving regulators a real-world testing ground as they weigh similar hours for traditional markets.
What It Means for the Market
Together, these two developments point to the same underlying trend: the boundary between crypto infrastructure and traditional US financial markets is continuing to blur. Exchanges born in crypto, like Crypto.com, are pushing into conventional derivatives products, while regulators are studying crypto's always-on trading model as a blueprint for equities. Neither development changes the rules overnight — Crypto.com's futures plan still needs formal approval, and the SEC roundtable did not produce a binding rule — but both signal where US market structure is heading over the next phase of the crypto-TradFi convergence.
