Crypto.com announces trading platform for institutional traders in the US

Singapore-based trading company Crypto.com has announced a new platform for institutional investors in the United States.

Revealed on January 21, the platform aims to strengthen Crypto.com’s presence in the United States by offering advanced solutions tailored to institutional trading. It will function as a complementary service to the existing Crypto.com app, which is aimed at retail traders in the country.

According to Kris Marszalek, co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com, the launch builds on the company’s significant investments in technology capabilities and banking infrastructure since testing an early version of the exchange in 2022 .

As part of its offerings, institutional traders on the new platform will have access to more than 300 cryptocurrencies and 480 trading pairs, as well as advanced trading tools, significant liquidity and infrastructure designed to support high-frequency, high-volume trading, the announcement said.

Additionally, the platform introduces advanced order types and sub-account options for active traders, while less frequent traders can take advantage of built-in trading robots such as DCA, GRID and TWAP for automated strategies.

Users 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 customer-focused programs.

Crypto.com’s expansion into the institutional market comes as regulatory developments in the United States signal a move toward greater clarity for the cryptocurrency industry under a pro-crypto administration led by President Donald Trump. Since Trump’s election victory, the company has taken steps to strengthen its presence in the United States.

In December, Crypto.com extended its presence in the United States by launching Crypto.com Custody Trust Company, offering custody services to institutions and high net worth clients across the United States

The move came just days after Crypto.com Marszalek encounter with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, where they discussed crypto-friendly policies, including a proposed national Bitcoin reserve. Subsequently, Crypto.com also withdrew its lawsuit against the SEC, which had disputed the agency’s jurisdiction over certain digital assets.

Earlier this month, the exchange introduced trading stocks and ETFs on its platform for certain US users.

After Trump’s inauguration, the Securities and Exchange Commission, led by Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda, moved quickly to address crypto oversight. On January 21, the SEC announcement the formation of a dedicated crypto task force with the aim of “developing a comprehensive and clear regulatory framework” for crypto assets.
