- Crypto.com teams up with Canary Capital to launch the first CRO-based investment trust for accredited U.S. investors.
- New Canary CRO Trust allows institutional exposure to CRO without needing to hold or manage crypto directly.
Crypto.com has officially partnered with Canary Capital Group LLC to launch the Canary CRO Trust, the first CRO-based investment vehicle aimed at US investors. The exchange wants people to gain exposure to the CRO token—without having to buy or hold the tokens directly.
The model is similar to a regular stock product, but the contents are CRO. And this trust can only be accessed by investors who fall into the “accredited” category.
The latest milestone in support of our 2025 Roadmap – we are excited to be partnering with @CanaryFunds to establish the Canary CRO Trust, the first Private Investment Vehicle of $CRO for U.S. investors.

A Bridge for Investors Stuck in Traditional Systems
Just imagine if you want to get involved in the world of digital assets but work at a financial institution that doesn’t allow you to buy crypto carelessly—well, this trust is the perfect solution.
On the one hand, it provides opportunities for those who have been limited by internal investment policies. On the other hand, Crypto.com can also expand the reach of CRO to more traditional markets. The strategy is smart, especially when it is carried out amidst the increasing demand for more “official” crypto products.
Furthermore, this move also strengthens Cronos’ position as a blockchain network with great potential. Cronos itself is built with the Cosmos SDK and is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which means developers can enjoy a flexible yet cost-effective ecosystem. If you compare it, it’s like you can access Ethereum stores, but with much cheaper operational costs.
As of the writing time, CRO is swapped hands at about $0.09681, up 1.26% over the last 24 hours and 16.87% over the last 30 days.
Beyond Trusts: Crypto.com’s Global Push Keeps Rolling
Interestingly, the launch of Canary CRO Trust is not the only breakthrough from Crypto.com. On May 13, they also collaborated with KSNET in South Korea. This step was taken so that foreign tourists can pay for food, shopping, and even attraction tickets in Korea using crypto. Not only does it make it practical, but it also makes digital assets feel more real to use every day.
Going back a little to May 12, 2025, Crypto.com also received “Restricted Dealer” status in Canada. This status allows them to continue operating while waiting for the full green light from regulators to become an official investment dealer. If you understand Canadian regulations, this is like getting a temporary driver’s license that is still legal to use around.
On the other hand, they also haven’t forgotten about users in the United States. The Crypto.com application now has a Prediction Trading feature that allows users to guess about crypto price movements and get rewards if their predictions are correct.
Yes, it’s like a quiz, but the prizes are real crypto. It’s great for those who like analysis but want a different way of playing.
And don’t forget the report from CNF, which reveals that Dubai is now paving the way for crypto payments for public services, thanks to a partnership with Crypto.com. Crypto transactions are automatically converted to AED. The main target? Dubai wants to achieve 90% cashless transactions by 2026—and they’re serious about it.
