Cronos (CRO) surged nearly 20% on Tuesday after Trump Media’s Truth Social platform revealed the token’s inclusion in its “Crypto Blue-Chip ETF” alongside Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and XRP. The move lifted CRO price from $0.08 to $0.10, its sharpest one-day rise in months as traders rushed to price in fresh institutional demand.
As per CoinMarketCap data, CRO is currently trading at $0.09525—up nearly 17% in the past 24 hours. Its daily trading volume has also drastically spiked over 2,300%, following the price pump.
A Form S-1 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 8 shows the ETF will list on NYSE Arca and target a mix of Bitcoin (70%), Ether (15%), Solana (8%), Cronos (5 %), and XRP (2%), with Crypto.com affiliate Foris DAX Trust named custodian.
This is the first time Cronos, the native token of the Crypto.com chain, has featured in a mainstream investment vehicle. Market strategists say even a five percent weighting could drive new flows, echoing the uplift Solana enjoyed after entering earlier ETF drafts.
With this push, Cronos has once again picked up an upward trajectory after dropping to multi-year lows. Though it is still far away from reaching an all-time high mark, which is $0.9698–recorded November 24, 2021.
Market analysts predict that if CRO could rise above $0.1-$0.2 range, it can further go above $0.5 in continued traction. Traders are also watching the 0.236 Fibonacci level near $0.11 as a key target.
However, profit-taking may cool its upward trajectory, yet inclusion beside the largest digital assets has already shifted sentiment. If regulators clear the Blue-Chip ETF, analysts believe Cronos could see lasting support from larger funds, increased staking demand, and wider use across the Cronos DeFi and gaming ecosystem.
