Introducing Commodity and U.S. Index Perpetual Contracts on the Crypto.com Exchange

Crypto.com Exchange is proud to announce the launch of Commodity and U.S. Index Perpetual Contracts. This new asset class bridges the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and digital assets, allowing our users to trade gold, oil, and Wall Street indices directly within the same high-performance derivatives environment they use for crypto.

Whether you are positioning around inflation data, energy market moves, central bank decisions, or broader risk-on and risk-off cycles, commodity and index perps provide additional strategic flexibility within a single account.

This launch is designed for active traders, portfolio managers, and anyone seeking to respond to global macro sentiment or manage risk with greater flexibility.

What Are Commodity and U.S. Index Perpetuals?

Commodity and U.S. Index Perpetuals are futures contracts that track the price of an underlying asset or benchmark without an expiry date.

Key features include:

• No Expiry Dates: Unlike traditional futures, these contracts never "expire" or require manual rolling. You can hold your position as long as you maintain your margin.
• Crypto-Settled: Trade the world’s biggest markets using the same USD-based collateral you use for crypto.
• Funding-Backed Pricing: To ensure the price of the perpetual stays in line with the real-world spot market, a "funding rate" mechanism exchanges small periodic payments between long and short traders.

The April Fee Trader Advantage

To celebrate the launch of TradFi Perpetuals, we are offering an exclusive fee promotion for all Exchange users from April 1, 2026, 00:00 UTC to April 30, 2026, 23:59 UTC:

• Promotional rates are applied automatically to all eligible Commodity and U.S. Index Perpetual trades during the campaign period.
• Settlement Fees are calculated and settled in real-time within your derivatives wallet.

Key Features & Asset Suite

This expansion allows you to capture market sentiment across 9 new instruments:

• 🌍 Macro Metals: Trade Gold (XAU), Silver (XAG), Platinum (XPT), Palladium (XPD), and Copper (XCU).
• 🛢️ Energy Markets: Access Crude Oil (WTI) and Natural Gas.
• 📈 U.S. Indices: Position on the Nasdaq-100 (QQQ) and S&P 500 (SPY) benchmarks.
• ⚡ Flexible Leverage: Access up to 20x leverage on Gold and 10x on Silver to maximize capital efficiency.

Advanced Trading Logic & Stability

Designed for both retail agility and institutional-grade stability, our TradFi suite includes:

• Extended Access: Trade through "Overnight" and "Pre-market" sessions. While traditional pits close, the Crypto.com Exchange provides continuous access via off-market pricing coverage.
• Pricing Safeguards: During market closures (weekends/holidays), the system utilizes an "Index Freeze" mechanic and wider mark-price bandwidths to protect users from artificial volatility.
• Unified Risk Management: Your TradFi positions appear alongside your crypto derivatives in your Portfolio and Trade History, allowing for a holistic view of your global risk.

Margin Modes

• Retail Users: Trading is restricted to Isolated Margin mode to ensure that the risk of any single position is contained to its allocated margin.
• Non-Retail/Institutional Users: Eligible participants can toggle between Isolated and Cross Margin configurations to suit complex hedging strategies.

Disclaimer: Trading perpetual contracts and using margin involves a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all users. Perpetual contracts are complex financial instruments subject to significant price volatility, and losses can occur rapidly. You may lose all or more than your initial margin, particularly during periods of high market volatility, low liquidity, or extreme market events.

When trading Commodity and U.S. Index Perpetuals, margin allocated to a position is subject to liquidation if maintenance requirements are not met. Liquidation may occur quickly if market prices move against your position, and losses may equal the full amount of margin assigned. The use of leverage amplifies both gains and losses, increases liquidation risk, and does not eliminate the possibility of losing your entire allocated margin. Funding fees, trading fees, price slippage, system delays, and market gaps may further impact position outcomes.

Funding calculations may differ during active and inactive trading sessions for the underlying asset in accordance with Crypto.com Exchange rules. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and this content does not constitute investment or trading advice.
