CRO Dumps! 😱 You Won’t BELIEVE Why!

by

TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Bother Reading):

  • Some fancy American types now have another way to get their mitts on CRO. Because, you know, there weren’t enough ways already. 🙄
  • Despite this grand unveiling, CRO’s taking a bit of a tumble – down 6% for the day. Seems like the crypto market’s having one of those “oops, all red” days.

A rather uninspiring image of CRO, probably.

The Deal’s Guts (and Maybe Some Giblets)

Crypto.com, that exchange that’s always got its name on something, has done a deal with Canary Capital, a firm that manages investments for people who have more money than sense. They’re setting up something called the Canary CRO Trust. Sounds like a dodgy bird sanctuary, doesn’t it? 🐦

This “trust” is specifically for those “accredited investors” in the US – you know, the ones who can afford to lose a load of money without batting an eyelid. It’s supposed to give them a nice, easy way to get their hands on CRO, the Cronos network’s very own shiny token.

Steven McClurg, the big cheese at Canary Capital, reckons Crypto.com is “setting the bar” for bringing crypto to the rich and powerful. Apparently, this initiative will make everyone want CRO and “reflect the broader success” of the platform. One can only hope. 🙏

Eric Anziani, President and COO of Crypto.com, chipped in that giving traders even more ways to gamble with digital assets is “central” to their grand plan. Because what the world really needs is *more* ways to lose money online. 💸

“We are incredibly excited to partner with Canary Capital to enable more investors in the U.S. to contribute to the Cronos journey ahead,” he said. One can only imagine what this ‘journey’ entails. Probably involves a lot of spreadsheets and existential dread.

CRO Takes a Dive (Into the Red Sea)

Despite all the back-slapping and fanfare, CRO’s price is currently doing a passable impression of a lemming. It’s hovering around $0.09, which is a 6% drop. Ouch. 🤕

A graph that probably looks like a ski slope going the wrong way.

The most likely culprit? The entire crypto market’s decided to take a tumble. Bitcoin (BTC) went on a brief holiday to $107,000 before getting violently ejected back down to the $102,500s. Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and the rest of the gang are all following suit, proving that misery loves company. 📉

Interestingly, CRO had a much better reaction to Crypto.com’s last big partnership, which involved teaming up with Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG). Apparently, being associated with the ex-President is better for the price than being associated with… well, whatever Canary Capital does. 🤔

The goal back then was to launch some fancy exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-traded products (ETPs) with BTC and CRO as the star attractions. It’s all about “rapid growth, technological innovation, and strengthening the U.S. economy,” apparently. And of course, avoiding “woke nonsense and political posturing.” One can only assume that means they’ll be using carrier pigeons instead of the internet. 🕊️
