The post Why CRO Coin Price is Up Today? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Cronos (CRO), the native coin of the Cronos network, stunned the crypto market with a dramatic price surge of over 50%, currently trading around $0.3455, its highest level since early 2022.
This remarkable spike has thrust CRO back into the spotlight, leaving traders asking: What’s powering this rally, and is it sustainable?
What’s Behind Today’s CRO Surge?
Major Treasury Deal with Trump Media & Crypto.com
The single biggest catalyst is a blockbuster partnership between Trump Media & Technology Group and Crypto.com. Announced late yesterday, this deal involves the creation of a $6.4 billion CRO-based treasury operation, making Trump Media the largest institutional CRO holder in history.
The group reportedly acquired over 6.3 billion CRO tokens (valued at approximately $1 billion) and will integrate CRO as the key token for its popular Truth Social platform.
Unprecedented Institutional Adoption
Beyond token purchases, the deal includes cash infusions and credit lines with Yorkville Acquisition Corp. Media coverage highlighting President Trump’s backing, as well as the Wall Street spotlight, has sparked a wave of speculative interest in CRO.
Explosive Volume and Network Activity
Following the news, CRO’s 24-hour trading volume shot up to $2.23 billion. At the same time, on-chain activity on the Cronos network hit yearly highs, showing strong growth in both retail participation and DeFi adoption.
Meanwhile, social dominance for CRO has jumped to 2.70%, showing it’s getting more attention in crypto circles.
CRO ETF Hype
Adding more fuel to the rally is CRO’s inclusion in a proposed U.S. crypto ETF, which is still awaiting SEC approval.” Even with a 5% allocation, its inclusion alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum signals growing recognition, adding another layer to the bullish outlook.
Analyst Outlook: Can CRO Hit $1 Again?
From a technical view, the 4-hour chart shows CRO breaking out of a symmetrical triangle. Analysts explain that moving past the $0.33–$0.36 range has opened the door for more upside.
While the weekly RSI is high, signaling a possible short-term cooldown, fundamentals still point toward further gains.
If momentum holds, CRO could target the $0.42–$0.45 range, with even a potential run to $1 by year-end.
