About Crypto.com

Crypto.com is a globally recognized cryptocurrency platform that enables users to trade, earn, and manage over 400 digital assets while integrating financial services such as stocks, ETFs, and banking tools. Founded in June 2016 in Hong Kong under the name “Monaco” and rebranded in 2018, the company is now headquartered in Singapore and operated by Foris DAX Asia, a subsidiary of Foris DAX Markets, Inc. Its co-founders Kris Marszalek, Gary Or, Rafael Melo, and Bobby Bao, established the company with the vision of accelerating the world’s transition to cryptocurrency. Today, Crypto.com serves more than 150 million users across over 90 countries, including major markets in Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America [1][8].

The platform stands out for its diverse product ecosystem that caters to both retail and institutional investors. Through the Crypto.com App and Exchange, users can access spot, margin, and derivatives trading, with options for up to 100x leverage in futures contracts. More advanced traders benefit from OTC services, deep liquidity, and trading strategies such as UpDown options and regulated strike options. While its core remains crypto-centric, the platform also offers access to over 5,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs, including fractional shares, a move that bridges digital and traditional finance for American users. Crypto.com's Visa Card, which offers up to 8% cashback paid in CRO (the platform’s native token), integrates seamlessly with the app, allowing crypto payments at over 10 million merchants globally [1][2][3].

Security is one of Crypto.com’s strongest pillars. It employs a rigorous, multi-layered fraud prevention strategy with features such as real-time blacklist monitoring, scam detection algorithms, anti-phishing passcodes, and withdrawal protections for vulnerable users. In 2022, after a $35 million security breach that affected 483 users, Crypto.com promptly reimbursed customers and implemented additional safeguards through its Account Protection Program (APP). It also performs regular stress tests and audits in collaboration with Kudelski Security, reinforcing its reputation as one of the most secure centralized exchanges on the market [2][6][7].

Trading fees

The exchange offers a transparent and competitive fee structure. Spot trading fees range from 0.25% maker and 0.50% taker at the entry level, with substantial discounts available based on monthly trading volume and CRO lockup. At higher volumes, fees drop to 0.08% maker and 0.18% taker, while CRO staking can bring maker fees down to 0%. Derivatives trading follows a similar tiered model, with leverage available up to 10x on margin and 100x on certain futures [2][3].

Crypto.com continues to expand its ecosystem through an ambitious roadmap. In early 2025, it launched key initiatives like Crypto Baskets. Additional developments include crypto rewards maximizer, and infrastructure tools such as Cronos One and an AI-powered trading suite. Later phases of the roadmap will introduce margin derivatives, ETF submissions, business accounts, and next-generation banking services [5].

Restricted Regions

The Crypto.com App is accessible in 49 U.S. states, with the exception of New York. Internationally, the platform faces a number of restrictions, which are detailed in full on its official website: https://help.crypto.com/en/articles/5792178-crypto-com-app-georestrictions
