Collateral Access Settlements Are Now Live on Crypto.com Exchange

Crypto.com Exchange has introduced off-exchange settlement capability through Collateral Access, enabling institutional clients to trade on the Exchange while keeping assets in custody.

Trading activity is settled against approved custody-held collateral through settlement cycles between Custody and Exchange. Assets remain off-platform throughout the trading lifecycle, while realized PNL is automatically settled back into custody. This structure improves capital efficiency, while preserving custody-first operating requirements.

Off-exchange settlement via Collateral Access is now available on the US Exchange, expanding beyond the initial Cayman availability.

What This Enables

Collateral Access is Crypto.com’s off-exchange collateral framework built for institutional trading workflows.

With settlement capability in place, clients can operate on the Exchange using custody-held collateral, aligning trading activity with segregation, risk, and operational requirements without compromising trading velocity.

Why It Matters

Off-exchange settlement via Collateral Access allows clients to trade actively on the Exchange while retaining custody of assets, reducing operational friction and supporting regulated, custody-first trading models across Spot and derivatives markets.

This capability reinforces Crypto.com Exchange’s institutional infrastructure by enabling scalable trading workflows aligned with custody, risk management, and jurisdictional requirements.
