Cronos Defies Crypto Market Downtick on Friday As Asset Manager Canary Capital Files for CRO ETF
Cronos defied a sector-wide downtick on Friday after the crypto asset manager Canary Capital filed for a CRO-based exchange-traded fund (ETF).
CRO is the native asset of the Cronos layer-1 blockchain, which was developed by the exchange Crypto.com.
Canary filed an S-1 Form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), proposing an ETF that would offer investors exposure to CRO. If approved, the product would also stake a portion of its CRO holdings to earn rewards.
The new S-1 statement represents the latest in a spree of recent ETF filings for Canary, which is also attempting to launch Solana (SOL), XRP, Sui (SUI), Litecoin (LTC), Axelar (AXL), Hedera (HBAR) and Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) funds.
The SEC greenlit the first spot market Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs in January 2024, bringing in billions of dollars worth of inflows to the top digital asset by market cap. The regulator subsequently approved Ethereum (ETH) ETFs for trading last July. Two financial firms, Franklin Templeton and Hashdex, also launched joint BTC-ETH ETFs earlier this year.
CRO is trading at $0.102 at time of writing and is up more than 8% in the past 24 hours. By comparison, the overall crypto market cap slumped by more than 4% over the same period.
