About Crypto.com

What is Crypto.com?

Crypto.com is a cryptocurrency exchange and financial services platform headquartered in Singapore, enabling users to buy, sell, and trade over 350 cryptocurrencies, including major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Established in 2016 by Kris Marszalek, along with co-founders Bobby Bao, Gary Or, and Rafael Melo, Crypto.com provides diverse crypto-focused services such as staking, crypto-backed Visa cards, an NFT marketplace, and a non-custodial DeFi wallet.

The platform also offers perpetual futures contracts, allowing traders to speculate on cryptocurrency price movements without expiry. Supported perpetual contracts include BTCUSD, ETHUSD, SOLUSD, and many other crypto assets, providing traders with extensive options for derivatives trading.

Crypto.com Futures Fee Schedule

Crypto.com's perpetual futures fees depend on your 30-day spot trading volume. Lower-volume traders (under $10,000) incur maker fees of 0.25% and taker fees of 0.50%. As your trading volume grows, fees shrink, bottoming out at 0.08% (maker) and 0.18% (taker) for traders reaching Level 5 ($500,000 or more).

Locking up CRO tokens cuts costs further. Maker fees drop to zero at every tier, and taker fees can fall by as much as 12%.
