100B CRO Resurrected: Crypto.com’s Power Play Exposes Governance Flaws

by

  • Crypto.com re-minted 70 billion CRO tokens, overriding community opposition and sparking accusations of manipulation.
  • The re-minting will increase CRO’s supply by 200%, leading to concerns of price dilution and a potential drop to $0.06.
  • Upcoming 20% token unlock intensifies bearish sentiment, adding to fears of further price decline.

Crypto.com has been under fire after increasing the supply of CRO tokens despite the majority voting against it. The community felt that the exchange acted against their interest, questioning the lack of transparency and raised manipulation concerns.

In 2021, the exchange initially burned 70 billion CRO tokens intending to reduces the circulating supply, potentially increasing the value of the remaining tokens. Back then, the move was well received by the community. However, tensions erupted when the team conducted a governance vote to decide whether to re-mint (re-issue) those 70 billion burned CRO tokens, restoring the total supply to 100 billion CRO.

Newly issued $CRO will go to a strategic reserve wallet under a multi-year vesting schedule. Independent validators largely opposed the proposal, but Electron, Antares, and Minotaur IV, validators linked to Crypto.com, accounted for 72% of votes, tipping the result.

From the initial voting results, it became clear as day that the community was overwhelmingly against re-minting. But, at the final hours of voting, several key validators (which are largely controlled by Crypto.com) swooped in and turned the decision in favor of re-minting, catching everyone by surprise and shock.

CRO Holders Fear Dilution as Supply Increases by 200%

The action sparked a major backlash in the community as they feel that Crypto.com has blatantly disregarded the majority mandate, accusing it of undermining the core ethos of decentralization.

A key concern against re-minting the 70 billion tokens was that it would significantly increase CRO’s circulating supply by a staggering 200% increase, which would subsequently dilute the value of each individual coin.

Following the decision, retail responded back by dumping the token as market analysts predict a further fall in the price due to the increased supply. A retest of $0.06 is on the horizon based on the ongoing FUD and potential manipulation.

Adding to the bearish sentiment is the upcoming 20% unlock where a large amount of the newly minted coins will be released into the market next week.

Cronos Blockchain Approves Reissuance of 70 Billion CRO Tokens

by

  • Cronos’ proposal reissues 70 billion CRO tokens amid controversy.
  • Crypto.com-backed validators secure proposals despite heavy opposition.
  • A new burn proposal launched after the approval of token reissue.

Cronos blockchain approved a governance proposal that authorized the reissuance of 70 billion CRO tokens worth $5.6 billion in valuation. The community passed this decision on March 16 to restore the total supply to 100 billion tokens. The fresh tokens will be stored in a “strategic reserve wallet” and subjected to multiple vesting schedules.

Crypto.com-Backed Proposal Restores 70B CRO Tokens

Crypto.com, the platform behind Cronos, supports this governance proposal and plans to create an Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) for CRO. The adoption of the proposal received substantial resistance from independent validators, but Crypto.com-aligned large validators secured its approval. The proposal achieved acceptance from 62.1% of voters who supported it despite opposition from 17.6% of participants.

The project failed to reach the required 33% vote threshold until Crypto.com’s decision to send 3.35 billion CRO tokens resulted in the approval. The late increase in validation activity came from major validators such as Electron, Antares, and Minotaur IV. The proposal achieved a total of 70.18% voter participation, which exceeded the mandatory quorum.

The reissued CRO tokens will recover tokens burned in 2021, which eliminated 70 billion CRO tokens from circulation. The reissued CRO tokens will serve multiple strategic purposes, such as the development of a potential CRO ETF. The CRO token reissue faced criticism from various members of the crypto community for its centralized system and lack of transparency in the voting process.

New CRO burn proposal

After the vote, Crypto.com presented a second proposal to eliminate 50 million CRO tokens, which represents 0.07% of the recently minted supply. A section of validators from Crypto.com have opposed the proposal because they believe it disrespects CRO investors. Moreover, critics believe this action heightens concerns about the project’s decentralization efforts and its effect on token holders.

Crypto.com’s actions illustrate the increasing tension between centralized governance and the decentralized principles, which represent a core value in blockchain technology. Although some believe the reissue is important for growth, other stakeholders claim the initiative mainly benefits major market players and disregards the interests of smaller entrants. The current decisions will determine future impacts on the Cronos blockchain ecosystem.

The voting on the new burn proposal is scheduled for two weeks, which raises uncertainty about future developments. It is important to monitor reactions from community members and validator networks as the situation develops. The reissuance of CRO tokens remains under scrutiny because these actions raise questions about governance practices, transparency, and motives behind the token reissuance.

Cronos Unveils Bold Plan to Reissue 70 Billion CRO Tokens, to Restore Supply

by

  • Cronos seeks to restore original CRO supply with a 5-year vesting.
  • Over 99% of votes support reissuing 70 billion CRO tokens.
  • CRO price surges 46% amid strategic reserve proposal announcement.

Cronos, the Layer 1 blockchain connected to Crypto.com, is considering a proposal to reissue 70 billion CRO tokens. These tokens were burned in 2021, and the proposal aims to restore the total supply to the original 100 billion CRO. The reissued tokens would be placed in a strategic reserve wallet with a five-year vesting period.

Cronos plans to reissue 70B CRO tokens

Crypto.com plans to file for an exchange-traded fund (ETF) application for CRO to tap into institutional interest. This move is part of Cronos’ long-term strategy, which includes funding its roadmap. However, this proposal has raised mixed feedback within the crypto community, with some viewing it as a step backward.

In 2021, Crypto.com conducted one of the largest token burns in crypto history which reduced the supply from 100 billion to 30 billion CRO. This was done to promote decentralization and to prepare for Cronos’ mainnet launch. If the proposal is approved, the 70 billion CRO tokens would return the total supply to its original level.

Strategic Reserve

The proposal for the Cronos Strategic Reserve has garnered significant support from the crypto community. Over 99.76% of the votes so far favor the restoration of the full supply. If approved, the tokens would be locked in a reserve wallet with a five-year vesting period, according to the proposal details. This move aims to enhance the market position and address future funding needs for CRO.

Additionally, the reserve would help fund Cronos’ ongoing projects and long-term growth. The company also plans to launch a spot ETF by the end of 2025, which has sparked further interest. The initiative is part of Cronos’ broader efforts to strengthen its role in the crypto market.

The proposal has sparked criticism from the crypto community despite the positive response from token holders. Some community members argue that the increase in token supply could lead to price dilution. Others argue that it could undermine the decentralization efforts initiated with the 2021 burn.

Moreover, Cronos has expressed its ambition to position itself as a leader in the global crypto market. The company aims to support “America’s ambition to become the World Capital of Crypto,” and align itself with broader political movements. This move aligns with recent statements from U.S President Donald Trump, who announced plans for a national strategic crypto reserve.

Price Action

Following the proposal’s announcement, the value of CRO surged significantly. The token saw a 46% increase, reaching an intraday high of $0.101. This price jump coincided with a dramatic 773% rise in trading volume reaching over $164 million.

The proposal remains open for voting until March 17. If approved, it could reshape Cronos’ future and its role within the broader cryptocurrency market.

Coinbase has secured a sponsorship deal with Aston Martin’s Formula One team for the 2025 season. The partnership will feature Coinbase’s branding on the Aston Martin’s AMR25 car and the racing suits of drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll. The deal stands out because it is fully paid in USDC, a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar.

Coinbase’s Vice President of Marketing, Gary Sun, emphasized the broader business implications of the deal.

Crypto and Sports Interaction

The sponsorship represents Coinbase’s first major international partnership in sports, indicating its continued expansion into global markets.

 This deal follows other Coinbase’s presence in U.S. sports, such as its October 2024 sponsorship of the Golden State Warriors and its November 2024 partnership with the Los Angeles Clippers. The investment in Formula One, increases Coinbase’s influence beyond North America and competes directly with other crypto platforms like Crypto.com, which have secured multiple Formula One-related sponsorships in recent years.

Coinbase’s involvement with Aston Martin reflects its commitment to support innovation and digital finance. As part of the deal, Aston Martin will explore opportunities to engage its fan base through blockchain technology. Additionally, Coinbase’s logo will appear prominently on Aston Martin’s cars and drivers’s suits throughout the 2025 season.

This partnership also aligns with Coinbase’s mission to increase global economic freedom by making cryptocurrencies accessible to everyone.

Impact of the Partnership Deal

Coinbase’s choice to be paid in USDC rather than other cryptocurrencies highlights its focus on transaction efficiency and stability. This collaboration also strengthens the overall presence of cryptocurrency in Formula One, following previous partnerships between teams and crypto exchanges like Crypto.com, Tezos, and Bybit. Red Bull Racing, Mercedes-AMG Petronas, McLaren, and Williams Racing have all similarly integrated digital assets into their sponsorships.

The partnership with Aston Martin indicates the growing role of cryptocurrency in major sports sponsorships. It highlights the increasing adoption of stablecoins in high-profile international transactions. The use of USDC as payment showcases the practical advantages of digital currencies in the world of elite sports.

The deal will enhance Coinbase’s visibility and further establish the use of cryptocurrency in global sports.

by

  • Gemini receives MFSA approval to offer MiFID II futures and options.
  • Approval supports Gemini’s push to meet rising demand for crypto derivatives.
  • Early regulatory approval positions Gemini among top European exchanges.

In a significant move to strengthen its European market presence, Gemini has secured MFSA approval for an investment firm license. This marks a key step in the company’s strategy to offer MiFID II-regulated products like futures and options to clients across Europe

Gemini Expands European Presence with MFSA Approval

Gemini has received in-principle approval from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) for an investment firm license. This regulatory approval will enable the cryptocurrency exchange to offer regulated services across the European Economic Area (EEA). The move highlights Gemini’s commitment to expand its European operations in compliance with local regulations.

Gemini’s European expansion strategy revolves around securing the necessary regulatory approvals. The company plans to operate its MiCA application through Malta as its primary base of operations. Once it secures the full MiCA license, Gemini will be able to offer a unified regulatory framework for its services across multiple European Union markets.

Advantages of the Investment Firm License

The investment firm license enables Gemini to offer MiFID II-regulated futures and options trading. This approval also allows the company to provide perpetual futures trading services across European markets. As demand for crypto derivatives increases, the approval enables Gemini to serve both institutional and retail investors seeking more advanced trading options.

The approval is expected to enhance Gemini’s position in the European market by attracting more clients. The company can now offer a broader range of advanced trading products, including perpetual futures. Mark Jennings, Head of Europe at Gemini, emphasized how this regulatory move aligns with the company’s long-term vision for expansion and market growth.

The investment firm license complements Gemini’s existing offerings, such as its ActiveTrader™ platform, which includes more than 80 trading pairs. Gemini also offers over-the-counter (OTC) services and an eOTC trading system tailored to institutional clients. These features, combined with the new license, will further enhance Gemini’s service offerings and attract more users.

Gemini Edges Against Competitors

Gemini is positioning itself to adapt to future changes in cryptocurrency regulations. Gemini has secured early approval before the full implementation of MiCA which enables the company to adapt quickly to legal frameworks. This proactive approach gives the company a competitive edge in the European market and underscores its commitment to align with global regulatory standards.

The regulatory approval also positions Gemini among other major exchanges, such as Coinbase, Kraken, Crypto.com, and OKX, that seek to obtain MiCA compliance. These companies aim to quickly secure regulatory approval ahead of MiCA’s full implementation. As the European market grows, an early approval can provide Gemini with competitive advantages to establish market dominance.

Crypto.com Receives Regulatory Approval for Expanded Services Across the EEA

by

  • Crypto.com receives MiCA license, enabling service across all EEA member states.
  • The MiCA license strengthens Crypto.com’s compliance and expansion in European markets.
  • Crypto.com diversifies with stocks, ETFs, and stablecoins after EEA approval.

Crypto.com has officially received regulatory approval to offer its crypto services to all member states of the European Economic Area (EEA). This milestone follows the company’s successful acquisition of a full Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) in January 2025. 

The regulatory authorization enables Crypto.com to provide services throughout the European Economic Area, thus strengthening its European business footprint. Crypto.com reached a significant milestone by becoming the first worldwide crypto asset service provider to obtain this license, opening opportunities for European market expansion. 

After a 2025 implementation, Crypto.com achieved its MiCA license to standardize crypto regulations in the entire European Union, thus providing sector-wide clarity and consistency. Consumer protection measures combined with market safeguard regulations and well-defined compliance mandates define the legal requirement set for crypto firms according to this legislation.

Crypto.com’s Expansion and Strategic Plans for Europe

Crypto.com secured the MiCA license which provides the capacity to provide additional services throughout European Economic Area member nations. The exchange intends to boost their brand recognition by increasing market presence across key European markets to acquire fresh customer bases. The company achieved this development through its tactical growth which included entering U.S. and Middle Eastern markets.

The crypto trading platform expands its service range as it extends its operations beyond trading cryptocurrencies. The company intends to launch stock investment, stock option features, personal multicurrency banking accounts, and savings solutions in early 2025. These moves reflect it’s ambition to broaden its offerings and attract a wider customer base while continuing to comply with the latest regulatory standards. The launch of the Cronos ETF and the introduction of its own stablecoin in the coming months are expected to enhance its market positioning further.

Impact of MiCA Licensing on Crypto.com

The MiCA license improves it’s European market position while making the company an industry leader in implementing regulatory compliance standards. The framework in MiCA establishes one unified system of rules that guides crypto businesses doing business in the entire EEA. Through acquiring its license, it demonstrates its dedication to following strict regulatory standards.

The company’s MiCA approval also reinforces its ongoing efforts to establish itself as one of the global compliant crypto platforms. Removing certain tokens, including Tether’s USDT, aligns with MiCA’s strict stablecoin provisions, further demonstrating it’s commitment to compliance.

This move comes after acquisition of a MiCA license which enables the company to offer services across the European Economic Area. The exchange aims to file its ETF application by Q4 2025 which signals its intention to broaden institutional access to digital assets.

These efforts will establish a foundation for the launch of new banking features like multi currency accounts and cash savings options. These developments represent Crypto.com’s efforts to  enhance user experience through diverse financial investment services.

The company’s spokesperson emphasized that these new products aim to improve user interaction and satisfaction across all service offerings.

The company, headquartered in Singapore, operates with the support of a European Union license under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). This approval reflects the company’s commitment to comply with regulatory standards, making it easier for users across EEA to access Crypto.com’s platform. The exchange’s decision to file its ETF application in Europe further indicates its strategic focus on global market expansion.

Impact of ETFs in the Cryptocurrency Market

The cryptocurrency sector saw significant institutional growth in 2024 after the launch of Bitcoin spot ETFs in the U.S. The approval of these ETFs allowed for massive inflows, with Bitcoin ETFs attracting over $35 billion. As the regulatory landscape continues to shift, asset managers have submitted more ETF applications for various digital assets.

Investment firms such as VanEck, Grayscale, and Bitwise also aim to capitalize on the growing demand for crypto exposure. Major firms are anticipating a Solana ETF to offer institutional investors access to the cryptocurrency. The increase in crypto ETF submissions reflect the industry’s readiness to provide more institutional-grade investment tools.

Crypto.com’s move signals the growing institutionalization of the digital asset space, with both ETFs and new financial products poised to attract a broader audience. The exchange aims to strengthen its position as a leader in the digital asset space. The company’s commitment to offer diverse financial services positions it as a leader in the crypto ecosystem.

Kraken Takes Bold Step to Delist USDT and Stablecoins in Europe in 2025

by

  • Kraken restricts margin trading for USDT and stablecoins in EEA.
  • MiCA regulations prompt delisting of USDT and other stablecoins.
  • USDC’s market share rises as USDT faces regulatory challenges.

Kraken has announced that it will delist Tether (USDT) and other stablecoins in Europe by March 2025. The decision comes as European regulators ramp up efforts to enforce the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations, reshaping the market landscape.

Kraken to Delist USDT and Stablecoins in EEA

Kraken, a prominent cryptocurrency exchange, has announced plans to delist Tether (USDT) and several other stablecoins across the European Economic Area (EEA). This move comes ahead of the implementation of the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulations (MiCA). The delisting will be carried out in stages before the March 31, 2025 deadline.

The process will begin on February 13, 2025, when Kraken will restrict margin trading for these stablecoins to “reduce-only” mode for EEA users. This means users will no longer be able to open new positions using USDT, PayPal USD (PYUSD), Euro Tether (EURT), TrueUSD (TUSD), and TerraUSD (UST). On February 27, 2025,spot trading will shift to “sell-only” mode and prevent new transactions involving these assets.

Kraken will close all open margin positions involving the listed stablecoins by March 17, 2025. Spot trading will stop completely by March 24, with all pending orders canceled. Any remaining holdings of these stablecoins will be converted to a compliant asset by March 31, 2025. Users are encouraged to convert their assets before this deadline to avoid automatic conversions.

MiCA Regulations Drive Crypto Changes in EEA

This decision comes amid increasing regulatory pressure in Europe as authorities implement MiCA rules. Kraken operates in several countries, including Germany, Spain, Italy, and France, and seeks to adjust its offerings to comply with the new regulations. Moreover, there is a growing trend of exchanges making adjustments to comply with regional legal standards.

Other major exchanges such as Coinbase and Crypto.com have also announced the delisting of USDT in Europe. These changes reflect broader concerns about stablecoin regulations in the European market. However, Tether (USDT) continues to hold a dominant position in the global crypto market, with recent reports showing it earned a record $13 billion in profits in 2024.

Crypto.com has also announced its plans to delist USDT and USDC in compliance with the new rules. The platform will phase out these stablecoins by the end of Q1 2025, although users are still able to withdraw these assets until that time.

Stablecoin market Drift

The stablecoin market has seen significant growth, reaching a record $224 billion in total value. USDC has been gaining traction, surpassing other stablecoins in market share. USDC’s market cap rose by 120% from November 2023 to January 2024, highlighting its growth potential. However, both USDT and USDC face regulatory scrutiny in Europe as the MiCA regulations roll out. 

As Europe enforces stricter rules for digital assets, more exchanges may adjust their offerings. The MiCA regulations are poised to reshape the cryptocurrency landscape in Europe, and companies are proactively ensuring compliance. The impact of these changes will become clearer as the implementation of MiCA unfolds.
