OG.com Files for CFTC Approval on Stock Perp Futures
The Crypto.com spinout joins Coinbase, Kalshi, and Kraken in seeking US regulatory clearance for perpetual futures on equities.
OG.com, recently spun out of Crypto.com, filed with the CFTC in September 2026 to offer perpetual futures contracts on individual US stocks — joining Coinbase, Kalshi, and Kraken parent Payward in a competitive race to unlock this product category for American traders.
Why It Matters
Single-stock perpetual futures would let retail traders hold leveraged positions on US equities without an expiry date, a structure already common in offshore crypto markets but currently unavailable through regulated US venues. If the CFTC grants approval, it would mark a significant expansion of derivatives access for US customers who today must use traditional options or futures with fixed settlement dates. The cluster of applications from major platforms — reported by CoinTelegraph — signals industry conviction that the regulatory window is opening. For iGaming and crypto-adjacent audiences, this matters because perpetual futures on stocks blur the line between speculative trading and wagering, raising both opportunity and risk management questions. Gambling involves real financial risk; leveraged derivatives amplify that risk considerably.
Context
OG.com was spun out of Crypto.com, giving it an established compliance and customer base to build from. Perpetual futures — contracts with no fixed expiry, typically funded through periodic interest payments between longs and shorts — dominate volume on offshore crypto exchanges like Binance but have faced a long regulatory road in the US. The CFTC holds jurisdiction over derivatives on commodities and, increasingly, digital assets, making its approval the critical gatekeeper here.
What's Next
The CFTC must review and rule on OG.com's application, a process with no fixed public timeline as of September 2026. Industry watchers will track whether the agency issues a unified framework covering all pending applicants or rules on each case individually.
