Crypto.com Launches Institutional Trading Platform in the U.S.
Crypto.com, a Singapore-based trading firm, has recently announced the launch of a new platform specifically designed for institutional investors in the United States. This move is aimed at strengthening Crypto.com’s presence in the U.S. market by offering advanced solutions tailored for institutional trading. The platform will operate alongside the existing Crypto.com App, which caters to retail traders in the country.
Advanced Solutions for Institutional Traders
According to Kris Marszalek, the co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com, the launch of this platform is a result of significant investments in technological capabilities and banking infrastructure. The platform will provide institutional traders with access to over 300 cryptocurrencies and 480 trading pairs, advanced trading tools, deep liquidity, and infrastructure to support high-frequency and large-volume trading.
Additionally, the platform offers advanced order types and sub-account options for active traders, as well as built-in trading bots like DCA, GRID, and TWAP for automated trading strategies.
Key Features and Services
Users of the platform can fund their accounts via Fedwire transfers and withdraw US Dollars or USDC at a 1:1 ratio. The platform also supports instant transfers, OTC services, and low-latency trading through API integrations and client-focused programs.
Regulatory Developments and Expansion
Crypto.com’s expansion into the institutional market comes at a time when regulatory developments in the U.S. are signaling greater clarity for the cryptocurrency sector. Under the leadership of President Donald Trump, there has been a shift towards more crypto-friendly policies.
In December, Crypto.com launched the Crypto.com Custody Trust Company in the U.S., offering custodial services to institutions and high-net-worth clients. This move followed a meeting between Kris Marszalek and President Trump, where they discussed crypto-friendly policies, including the idea of a national Bitcoin reserve.
Recently, the exchange also introduced stock and ETF trading on its platform for select U.S. users. The Securities and Exchange Commission, under Acting Chair Mark Uyeda, has formed a dedicated crypto task force to develop a comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto assets.
Overall, the launch of the institutional trading platform in the U.S. marks a significant milestone for Crypto.com as it continues to expand its offerings and presence in the American market.
