Crypto.com Launches Tokenized Derivatives for US Stocks and ETFs, Expanding Presence in Traditional Financial Markets

TechFlow News, August 12, according to CoinDesk, Crypto.com announced the launch of tokenized derivatives tracking approximately 1,500 U.S. stocks and ETFs for eligible users in the European Economic Area and other approved markets, covering individual stocks such as Apple, NVIDIA, and Tesla, as well as gold and silver-related ETFs. The product can be traded starting from a minimum of $1 and supports 24/7 trading.

Essentially, the aforementioned products are derivatives pegged to the price performance of the underlying assets. Users gain price exposure rather than actual ownership of the relevant securities; therefore, they do not enjoy rights such as shareholder voting, but may receive adjustments corresponding to dividends based on arrangements. This move reflects that crypto trading platforms are accelerating their expansion into asset classes such as traditional stocks, and the tokenized securities market continues to expand.
