Crypto.com and 21Shares Launch CRO Trust and Plan Cronos ETF
Crypto.com and asset manager 21Shares have entered a strategic partnership to roll out a private trust for CRO and to prepare filings for a future ETF focused on Cronos-based assets. The collaboration is pitched as a way to expand regulated entry points to the Cronos ecosystem, responding to growing institutional interest in blockchain infrastructure and tokenized exposure.
The new products could increase compliant investment channels for CRO, potentially improving liquidity and visibility for Cronos projects without directly altering on-chain dynamics. While timing and regulatory approvals for an ETF remain subject to review, the deal signals continued institutionalization of crypto products and a bet that demand for regulated token exposure will keep rising.
