Crypto.com Affiliate Nadex Clears SEC Hurdle to Offer Single-Stock Futures in US

North American Derivatives Exchange, the CFTC-regulated venue controlled by Crypto.com, has secured the final regulatory piece needed to bring single-stock futures to American traders. The Securities and Exchange Commission on September 16 acknowledged a Form 1-N filing from Nadex, a step that places the platform among the first crypto-native operators authorized to offer equity-linked derivatives in the world's largest capital market.

The filing, submitted under Section 6(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, covers security futures products -- instruments that sit at the intersection of securities and derivatives regulation. Because the underlying asset is a stock but the product itself is a futures contract, both the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission share oversight authority. Nadex has long held the CFTC side of that equation as a designated contract market and derivatives clearing organization; the SEC acknowledgment completes the dual-agency requirement.

Kris Marszalek, chief executive of Crypto.com, confirmed the milestone in a social media post, saying the company is now "authorized" to bring single-stock futures to the US market through OG.com, the standalone prediction market and trading platform spun out of Crypto.com in February. He added that the firm is working with both the SEC and CFTC as it pursues perpetual futures tied to individual equities.
