Crypto.com has begun offering tokenized derivatives that track the prices of 1,500 U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds. The products give eligible users in the European Economic Area and other approved jurisdictions synthetic exposure to equities such as Apple, Nvidia and Tesla, as well as funds including SPDR Gold Shares and iShares Silver Trust.

Trading is available around the clock with positions that can begin at $1. The instruments support fractional holdings and faster settlement than traditional equity markets. For a limited introductory period, the exchange is providing zero-commission trading on these products, though foreign-exchange charges or spreads may still apply.

Synthetic Exposure Without Ownership Rights

The tokenized stocks are derivative financial instruments issued by Foris Capital CY Limited. They are designed to follow the price movements of the referenced securities. Holders do not obtain legal or beneficial ownership of the underlying shares and receive none of the associated shareholder rights, including voting power.

Eligible users may receive dividend-equivalent adjustments under the product terms. The assets supporting the derivatives are held in custody with Alpaca, a U.S.-regulated self-clearing broker-dealer that the exchange states supports more than 90 percent of the tokenized U.S. stock and ETF market.

The launch follows Crypto.com’s acquisition of Foris Capital in May 2025. That purchase secured a Markets in Financial Instruments Directive license, enabling the platform to expand its range of regulated financial products across Europe.

Growing Tokenized Equity Market

The introduction arrives as tokenized stocks have expanded rapidly. The segment now stands at approximately $2.49 billion in value, representing growth of roughly 600 percent over the past year. Analysts at Citi have projected that the broader tokenized securities market could reach $5.5 trillion by 2030, with tokenized equities accounting for about $2.6 trillion of that total.

Several other crypto platforms have introduced comparable offerings for non-U.S. users. Approaches differ: some deliver synthetic price tracking similar to Crypto.com’s derivatives, while others structure products that are backed one-to-one by actual shares and may preserve ownership rights or allow conversion into direct stock positions.

Traditional market infrastructure providers are also advancing related initiatives. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation has been testing tokenized securities systems, and major exchanges have announced their own tokenization programs. The variety of models has intensified discussion among regulators and market participants over the precise nature of what a tokenized stock represents and the rights it should convey.

Crypto.com ranks as the world’s 11th-largest exchange by trading volume. The new products form part of its broader multi-asset strategy, allowing users to access U.S. equity and ETF exposure alongside cryptocurrency trading through a single interface.
