The new derivative instruments track the price performance of assets including NVDA, TSLA, and AAPL, alongside commodity-linked ETFs like GLD and SLV. While these tokens provide exposure to price movements, they do not grant direct legal ownership or voting rights in the underlying companies. Crypto.com manages these positions through a partnership with Alpaca, a U.S. regulated broker-dealer responsible for the custodial infrastructure behind the majority of the tokenized market.
Crypto.com Debuts 24/7 Tokenized U.S. Equity Trading
Investors can now access 1,500 U.S. stocks and ETFs through the Crypto.com app, bypassing traditional market hours. The platform allows fractional ownership starting at just one dollar, marking a shift toward continuous, blockchain-enabled exposure to traditional equity markets for users across the EEA and other approved global jurisdictions.
Kris Marszalek, CEO of Crypto.com, framed the move as an effort to modernize legacy asset classes by removing the constraints of standard exchange hours. To encourage adoption, the platform is running an introductory period featuring zero-commission trading, though users remain subject to standard spreads and FX fees. The service is provided by Foris Capital CY Limited, which operates under a license from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, allowing it to passport services across the European Economic Area. As with any derivative product, the company warns that investors face market and counterparty risks, noting that the value of positions can fluctuate and lead to the loss of invested capital.
