CRO CRO $0.32 24h volatility: 18.5% Market cap: $10.58 B Vol. 24h: $2.31 B , the native cryptocurrency of the Cronos blockchain, is on a massive rally, rising 60% today to trade at $0.36.
Over the past week, the token has gained 164% following the Trump family’s $6.4 billion CRO treasury strategy announcement.
Amid its recent rally, Cronos has secured a spot in the top 15 cryptocurrencies, with its market cap reaching $12.63 billion. Today’s 62% increase in CRO price comes alongside a 150% jump in daily trading volume, which has risen to $2.58 billion.
The biggest catalyst behind Cronos’ price rally in the last two days was the announcement of a $6.4 billion partnership between Trump Media, Crypto.com, and Yorkville Acquisition Corp.
The three players together will focus on creating a crypto treasury company focused on acquiring CRO.
The deal includes more than $1 billion in direct CRO purchases and plans to integrate the token into Trump Media platforms as both a payment method and rewards system.
Further support for the rally came from the release of Cronos’ 2025–2026 roadmap, which outlines strategies to expand its on-chain ecosystem and boost user adoption.
Whale activity has also contributed, with Santiment reporting an increase in addresses holding 10,000-10 million CRO over the past three days. This has further triggered a retail FOMO, driving upward momentum for the cryptocurrency.

Derivatives data indicate that the rally is supported by strong futures activity, with open interest reaching a record $181 million.
The weighted funding rate has moved back into positive territory, and the long/short ratio remains above 1, indicating that bullish sentiment continues to dominate the market.
A few months ago, Cronos also jumped 40% when Crypto.com unveiled plans for a Strategic Reserve, reversing a previous 70 billion token burn with strong community support.
On-chain metrics for Cronos also show robust growth. Data from DeFiLlama indicates that total value locked (TVL) in Cronos’s DeFi ecosystem jumped 27% in the past day to $1.24 billion.
At the same time, the network’s stablecoin market cap increased 9% over the past week to $183 million.
Revenue from Cronos DeFi applications has surged as well, rising from $63,800 last week to $225,000 this week, with more than $100,000 generated in the past 24 hours alone.
Bulls are now targeting a break past $0.40, which could further reinforce the upward momentum. Popular crypto analysts like Javon Marks predict a rally to $0.8868 and beyond.
