Crypto.com is one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency and financial services platforms, founded in 2016 and serving customers across the globe. In the United States, Crypto.com operates a fully regulated derivatives business through Crypto.com | Derivatives North America (formerly the North American Derivatives Exchange, or Nadex) — a U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)-regulated Designated Contract Market and Derivatives Clearing Organization headquartered in Chicago — together with its affiliated Futures Commission Merchant (FCM), Foris DAX FCM LLC.
This structure gives Crypto.com control over the full U.S. futures stack — exchange, clearing house, and broker — a regulated footprint that is rare among crypto-native firms. It places the business at the forefront of prediction markets, one of the fastest-growing and most talked-about areas in finance today, where customers can trade on the outcomes of real-world events. This is a high-growth, high-visibility business — and the Treasury function sits right at the center of it, safeguarding customer funds and ensuring the liquidity that keeps these markets running.
Role Overview
Reporting to the North America Treasurer / Head of Treasury, the Senior Treasury Analyst supports treasury-related activities for the FCM and Nadex entities, with a primary focus on cash and liquidity management. The position is critical to ensuring continuous compliance with National Futures Association (NFA) and CFTC regulatory requirements, which demand ongoing monitoring of cash balances, customer segregation, and liquidity sufficiency. This is a hybrid role: in addition to treasury, the analyst carries selected accounting and finance responsibilities, partnering closely with the Accounting and Finance teams on month-end close, reconciliations, and reporting. The role also supports the strategic growth of the derivatives and prediction markets business globally.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead daily cash and liquidity management for FCM and Nadex entities, ensuring sufficient funding to meet all customer and operational obligations.
- Continuously monitor liquidity positions to maintain compliance with NFA and CFTC requirements, including customer segregation and secured funds rules.
- Execute and oversee daily, intraday, and monthly cash movements across settlement, customer, and house accounts.
- Manage and enhance relationships with banking partners, clearing FCMs, and third-party service providers (TSPs).
- Prepare and review daily and monthly regulatory reporting for FCM and Nadex entities.
- Partner with Product and Trading teams to support expansion of derivatives offerings and ensure treasury readiness for new products.
- Support onboarding and operational readiness for Nadex direct members, including customer deposits, withdrawals, and service requests.
- Oversee reconciliation processes between trading systems and bank accounts, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
- Lead the development and distribution of daily treasury dashboards, including performance and liquidity metrics.
- Collaborate across treasury teams to support broader Crypto.com entities and custody/vault operations.
- Identify and implement process improvements that enhance automation, control, and reporting accuracy.
Accounting & Finance Responsibilities
- Support month-end and quarter-end close activities, including journal entries, accruals, and account reconciliations related to treasury and cash operations.
- Reconcile general ledger cash and settlement accounts, ensuring activity is recorded accurately and on time.
- Partner with the Accounting and Finance teams on financial reporting, budgeting, and variance analysis.
- Help maintain internal controls and support internal and external audit requests.
As a hybrid treasury, accounting, and finance role, this position also contributes to:

- Daily verification of sufficient liquidity to meet customer obligations.
- Accurate and timely reporting to the NFA and CFTC.
- Maintenance of appropriate residual interest and liquidity buffers.
