No project pays to be listed. How we rank
The closest Crypto.com alternative for most US users is Coinbase: it serves all 50 states, including New York where Crypto.com is not available, and publishes order-book fees of 0.40% maker / 0.60% taker. Below are seven US options, compared on state coverage, fees, licenses and staking.
Crypto.com runs a US app for buying, selling, holding and staking crypto, available in every state except New York. Its licenses page lists money transmitter, broker-dealer, CFTC exchange and clearing, and trust registrations. App fees depend on market conditions and are shown in the trade preview.

Crypto.com's US app serves every state except New York, so New York residents need another platform.
App purchase fees depend on market conditions and appear only in the trade preview; no fixed US rate is published.
Staking is not offered in five states: New York, California, Maryland, New Jersey and Wisconsin.

US availability: States the exchange does not serve, from its own page. Trading fees: Lowest-volume tier on the advanced order book: maker / taker. Simple buy fee: Fee or spread on the one-click buy screen. “Not verified” means we have not yet checked the value against the project’s own documentation.
A crypto exchange with a simple buy screen and the Coinbase Advanced order book, available in all 50 states including New York. Its entry-tier Advanced fees are 0.40% maker / 0.60% taker, and the simple-buy spread is not published.
A US exchange and custodian that serves all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico, with staking. It publishes ActiveTrader fees, but the entry tier (0.60% maker / 1.20% taker) is high.
Crypto inside the Robinhood app, next to stocks. Default orders have no commission and it holds a New York BitLicense, but the spread is not published, some coins are limited in NY and TX, and it keeps 25% of staking rewards.
Unlike Crypto.com, Kraken publishes fixed order-book fees: 0.40% maker / 0.80% taker on Kraken Pro. It is not available in New York or Maine, and instant buys cost 1% plus a spread.
Binance's separate US company, with 200+ assets, 0% maker / 0.02% taker fees and staking on 25+ assets. It is not available in 12 states, including New York and Texas, and charges 3.99% on card purchases.
A multi-asset platform for crypto, fiat and precious metals. It charges no commission but a spread of about 2.05% to 3.8% on crypto, and it lists no regulator for seven states, including New York.
One of the oldest crypto exchanges, founded in 2011 and owned by Robinhood since June 2025. It holds a New York BitLicense; we could not confirm its fees or state coverage from its own pages.
For New York and all 50 states: Coinbase or Gemini. For lower order-book fees: Kraken or Binance.US. For simple buys next to stocks: Robinhood.
If you live in New York, Crypto.com is not an option: Coinbase, Gemini and Robinhood Crypto all serve the state. If fees are the issue, Kraken and Binance.US publish fixed order-book rates, but both skip New York, and Binance.US skips 11 more states.
If you stake from California, Maryland, New Jersey or Wisconsin, check the new platform's staking states before you move.
