Yes — Crypto.com offers commission-free trading on 3,000+ US stocks and ETFs through its registered broker-dealer Foris Capital US LLC

Launched late 2024, stock trading is in-app, fractional, and commission-free. It's the same app/account as Crypto.com's crypto trading — not a separate login.

About this topic

Yes, you can buy stocks on Crypto.com in the US — the company launched commission-free trading on 3,000+ US-listed stocks and ETFs through its Crypto.com Securities LLC broker-dealer, accessible from the same mobile app you use for crypto. This is educational only, not financial advice.

The stock-trading feature is delivered by a separate registered entity (Crypto.com Securities LLC, FINRA member, SIPC-insured up to $500,000), not by the crypto exchange business. That matters for how your accounts are protected and how funds move between them.

Stock trading on Crypto.com supports fractional shares, market and limit orders, and standard US-listed equities and ETFs — including spot bitcoin ETFs like BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC. There are no commissions on US equity trades.

For most "normal" investors who already have a Fidelity, Vanguard, or Schwab account, Crypto.com's stock feature is best understood as a way to consolidate crypto and equities in one app, not as a full replacement for a primary brokerage. Research tools, retirement accounts, and options trading are thinner than at incumbent brokers.

The feature is US-only and not available in every state. International Crypto.com users still get the crypto exchange but not the stock-trading product, and even US users should confirm state availability before depositing.

How it actually works

Crypto.com stock trading runs through Crypto.com Securities LLC, a separate FINRA-registered broker-dealer that sits inside the same Crypto.com mobile app. When you open a stock account, you're signing a new customer agreement with that entity, not with the Crypto.com exchange you use for bitcoin or ETH.

Once approved, you get a dedicated stock sub-account funded by ACH transfer from your bank or by moving USD from your Crypto.com wallet. Funded cash settles into a brokerage account custodied at a clearing firm, and trades are routed to market makers under standard SEC and FINRA rules.

Orders are commission-free on 3,000+ US-listed stocks and ETFs, including spot bitcoin ETFs like IBIT (BlackRock, 0.25% expense ratio; the introductory 0.12% waiver expired Jan 11, 2025) and FBTC (Fidelity, 0.25%). Fractional shares are supported, so you can buy $10 of Berkshire Hathaway Class A even though one share trades above $700,000.

Crypto.com Securities monetizes through payment for order flow and interest on uninvested cash, the same model Robinhood uses. Execution-quality and PFOF disclosures are required quarterly under SEC Rules 605 and 606 — they're public if you want to compare routing economics versus Schwab or Fidelity.

Your stocks are protected by SIPC up to $500,000 (including $250,000 cash). Your crypto on the Crypto.com exchange is not SIPC-eligible and sits with a separate legal entity under state money-transmitter regulation, not federal securities law. Losing app access freezes both accounts at once, even though they're legally distinct.

Step by step

1Open the Crypto.com app and look for the Stocks or Securities tab; if you don't see it, confirm you're on the US app and that your state is supported (a small number of US states are excluded at launch).
2Complete the Crypto.com Securities LLC account application separately from your crypto account — you'll re-verify identity, Social Security number, employment, and investment objectives under FINRA suitability rules.
3Link a bank account and fund the stock sub-account by ACH transfer, or move USD from your Crypto.com wallet into the new brokerage sub-account (transfers are not instant — allow minutes to a business day).
4Place your first trade by searching a ticker (e.g., VOO, IBIT, AAPL); confirm whether the order is a market or limit order and whether you're buying whole or fractional shares.
5Review the Form CRS, Rule 606 order-routing disclosure, and fee schedule inside the app's legal section so you understand payment-for-order-flow and any account-level fees like outgoing ACATS transfers.
6Track tax documents separately at year-end: stocks generate 1099-B/DIV from Crypto.com Securities, while crypto trades generate 1099-DA from the exchange entity starting with 2025 transactions per IRS TD 10000.
7Set up two-factor authentication on the app and a unique strong password — because stocks and crypto share one login, a single account compromise exposes both portfolios.

What works in your favor

Stocks and crypto live in one app, so you can rebalance between bitcoin and an S&P 500 ETF without opening a second login or wiring cash externally.
Trades are $0 commission on 3,000+ US-listed stocks and ETFs, matching Robinhood and Schwab on headline cost.
Fractional shares are supported, so you can buy small dollar amounts of expensive names like BRK.A or NVDA without saving up for a full share.
Spot bitcoin ETFs (IBIT, FBTC, etc.) and spot ETH ETFs (launched July 2024) are tradeable inside the same app — useful if you want crypto exposure inside an SIPC-protected wrapper.
Crypto.com Securities is SIPC-insured up to $500,000, which is real regulatory protection your crypto exchange balance does not have.

Watch out for

Stock trading is only available in the US and not in every state — international Crypto.com users still can't buy stocks through the app as of 2026.
Crypto.com Securities is newer than Robinhood, Fidelity, or Schwab, so fewer order types, no options trading, and limited research tools compared to incumbents.
Stocks and crypto sit in separate sub-accounts under different regulators (SEC/FINRA vs. state money-transmitter) — moving cash between them isn't instant and isn't a margin loan.
Crypto.com has paused or pulled services in specific US states before (NY restrictions, Canada wind-down 2023) — there's regulatory concentration risk if the broker-dealer arm is scaled back.
Holding stocks and crypto in one app concentrates custody risk; if you lose account access, both portfolios are frozen at the same time.

Common questions

Can you actually buy stocks on Crypto.com in 2026?

Yes, US users can buy stocks on Crypto.com through the same mobile app they use for crypto. The feature is delivered by Crypto.com Securities LLC, a FINRA-registered broker-dealer, and covers 3,000+ US-listed stocks and ETFs with $0 commissions. This is educational only, not financial advice — confirm availability in your state inside the app before funding.

Is Crypto.com Securities SIPC-insured?

Yes, Crypto.com Securities LLC is a member of SIPC, which protects up to $500,000 in securities (including $250,000 in cash) if the broker fails. SIPC does not cover market losses, and it does not cover your crypto holdings — those sit on the separate Crypto.com exchange entity and are not SIPC-eligible.

Can I trade fractional shares or ETFs like IBIT and FBTC?

Yes, Crypto.com Securities supports fractional shares down to small dollar amounts, and you can buy spot bitcoin ETFs like BlackRock's IBIT (0.25% expense ratio; the introductory 0.12% waiver expired Jan 11, 2025) or Fidelity's FBTC directly inside the app. That's useful if you want bitcoin exposure inside a brokerage account rather than holding the coin itself.

How does Crypto.com make money if trades are commission-free?

Crypto.com Securities earns through payment for order flow (PFOF), interest on uninvested cash, and ancillary fees disclosed in its Form CRS and Rule 606 reports. This is the same revenue model used by Robinhood and Webull, and it's why the SEC requires brokers to disclose execution quality each quarter.

Can I move money between my Crypto.com crypto wallet and stock account instantly?

No, transfers between the crypto exchange entity and Crypto.com Securities are not instant — they settle through internal bookkeeping and can take minutes to a business day. The two accounts are legally separate entities under different regulators, so there's no margin loan or unified buying power across them.

How does Crypto.com stock trading compare to Robinhood or Coinbase?

Robinhood has offered both stocks and crypto since 2018 and has deeper features (options, IRAs, 24/5 stock trading). Coinbase has not launched a US stock-trading product as of early 2026. Crypto.com sits in the middle: newer than Robinhood for stocks, but ahead of Coinbase by adding equities to a crypto-native app.

Are my stock dividends and gains on Crypto.com taxed differently than my crypto?

Yes, stocks and ETFs follow standard 1099-DIV and 1099-B reporting with long-term vs. short-term capital gains rules. Crypto is reported on Form 1099-DA starting with 2025 transactions per IRS final regulations (TD 10000), and crypto-to-crypto trades are still taxable events. Keep the two cost-basis records separate.
