Ah, Cronos, the fleeting star of Crypto.com’s Cronos Chain, has danced its final waltz since the grand unveiling of the Trump Media Group CRO Strategy last month. A spectacle, no doubt, but one that leaves us pondering the ephemeral nature of such triumphs.
On the fateful day of August 26, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), the maestro behind Truth Social and the darling of the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, proclaimed a joint $6.4 billion Cronos (CRO) treasury. The masses rejoiced, and CRO’s price soared by 40%, a fleeting moment of glory. Yet, like a leaf in the autumn wind, it has since tumbled, erasing its gains and sinking below $0.19 on Thursday, a somber return to its pre-announcement solitude, as CoinGecko’s chronicles reveal.
Amidst this descent, the faithful have begun to murmur. What of the demand for this token, they ask, now that the Trump-linked TMTG has cast its shadow? Crypto.com’s CEO, Kris Marszalek, remains silent, a sphinx in the face of the storm.
Cronos’ Market Cap: A $6 Billion Farewell
Since the zenith of its Trump-induced rally, Cronos has shed more than $6 billion, a staggering 50% of its market cap, now a modest $6.6 billion at the time of this elegy. It has fallen from grace, no longer among the top 30 crypto assets, now the 33rd in line, according to CoinGecko’s ledger.
Some cling to hope, while others whisper of CRO’s lack of utility and demand. A commentator on X laments, “You need to demand real change. $CRO once again is going to fully retrace the Trump pump. There is 0 demand for this token. The chain is a ghost town, users are non-existent. 👻💸”
A Reddit sage remarks, “We’re getting rugged, just as I expected when that partnership was announced. 🤡🎪” Skepticism blooms like a weed in the cracks of the community’s faith.
A Broader Sell-Off? Or Just CRO’s Soliloquy?
Yet, some market watchers, ever the optimists, suggest that CRO’s plight is but a mirror to the broader crypto market’s woes. “It’s a blood bath right now. The entire market is tanking. Has nothing to do with CRO. September’s are usually like this,” a Redditor muses, as if the stars themselves conspired against it.
Indeed, the market has been under siege, with Bitcoin (BTC) plunging below $110,000 on Thursday. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, that barometer of souls, dipped below 30 on Friday, its lowest since April 2025, a testament to the fear that grips investors like a winter chill.
Marszalek, ever the enigma, avoids the topic of price, instead tweeting about Cronos’ support for the tokenized collateral and stablecoin initiative. “We are pleased to support the tokenized collateral and stablecoin initiative and its recommendations for the use of non-cash collateral, including CRO, for regulatory margin requirements,” he declares, a statement met with both applause and jeers.
SEC’s Silence: The $6.4 Billion Question
Yet, the elephant in the room remains: the SEC has yet to bless the Trump Media Group CRO Strategy. As crypto treasury announcements proliferate, regulators have begun to scrutinize these initiatives more closely. The Wall Street Journal reports that the SEC and FINRA have contacted over 200 companies announcing crypto treasuries this year, probing for breaches of rules against selective sharing of material nonpublic information. 🕵️‍♂️🔍
And so, the saga of Cronos continues, a tale of ambition, hubris, and the fleeting nature of glory. Will it rise again, or is this the final act? Only time, that relentless narrator, will tell. ⏳✨
