Across the grid, Cronos has lost 1.64% in the past 24 hours; the 7-day reading is 1.40% lower and the 30-day stands 6.30% higher. On a one-year view the asset has posted gains of 0.00%, with a mixed multi-horizon profile and no clear directional bias.
The asset currently trades 92.9% below its all-time high — a deep drawdown in which momentum and liquidity flows have, historically, driven price more than any pull back toward the mean. 30-day realized volatility sits at 78% annualized — high territory for a crypto asset of this size.
Cronos currently shows thin turnover that warrants caution on larger orders. 24-hour trading volume represents 0.189% of market capitalization — our liquidity-health composite scores this as Thin (37/100). This is on the lighter end of the top-100 range; large orders should be sliced into the market rather than executed at once.
The 90-day Pearson correlation of CRO's daily returns versus Bitcoin's is +0.61 — a strong positive relationship. Cronos moves with Bitcoin a good deal of the time while keeping some independent behaviour, so it diversifies a BTC position only partially.

Three independent models feed the forecast above, following the STNews methodology:
- Technical model projects ranges from moving-average, ATR, Bollinger band and trend-slope inputs — useful when the asset is in a clean trending or ranging regime.
- Statistical (Monte Carlo) model takes the 90-day daily-return distribution and simulates the 5th/50th/95th-percentile prices per horizon — a neutral baseline that assumes no continuation of the current trend.
- Peer-relative model benchmarks the asset against similarly-sized coins in its category, asking where it would sit if it tracked the median, lower-quartile and upper-quartile peer returns — a sector-anchored sanity check.
The headline ensemble forecast weights the three models 40/30/30 (statistical/technical/peer-relative). Its confidence badge measures how closely they concur — close agreement reads as higher confidence, while divergence reads lower and signals an unreliable, hard-to-model regime.
Cross-asset correlations (90d)
Pearson correlation of daily log returns vs top L1 references
Looking past Bitcoin alone, how closely CRO tracks the next two biggest layer-1s over 90 days indicates whether it is mostly market beta or something more independent. The daily-log-return correlations:
- Bitcoin reference: +0.61 — a strong positive relationship.
- Ethereum reference: +0.53 — a moderate positive relationship.
- Solana reference: +0.56 — a moderate positive relationship.
High correlation across several references usually means the asset is mostly crypto-market beta: when BTC, ETH and SOL move, it moves too, and independent alpha is hard to find. Low or negative readings point to its own drivers — project-specific news, intra-crypto sector rotation or narrative shifts — that can decouple it from the broad market.
About Cronos
Cronos (CRO) is a cryptocurrency, traded on global digital-asset markets. It trades at $0.0681 as of the latest update, with a 24-hour move down 1.64%, placing it at rank #36 by market capitalisation among all listed digital assets. Cronos's current market cap stands at $3.39B, a figure used by traders, analysts and institutional desks to gauge relative liquidity and risk exposure across the crypto market.
On this page you'll find a live, daily-refreshed dashboard tracking Cronos across multiple data sources — price history going back several years, on-chain activity where available, fundamentals like circulating supply and dilution, top exchanges by volume, technical analysis using moving averages and RSI, and an algorithmic short, mid and long-term forecast. All figures are pulled from public APIs and cached locally; nothing here is investment advice.
Cronos's value is structurally tied to the exchange that issued it. Holders effectively own a claim on a stream of fee revenue or fee discounts, and the token's adoption is bounded by the exchange's market share. This makes the asset closer to equity in the exchange than to a true network asset.
CRO is -1.64% over 24 hours, -1.40% over the past week, +6.30% over 30 days, putting it among the weekly underperformers across the top 250 by market capitalisation. Cronos remains roughly 93% beneath its all-time high of $0.9586, a level first printed in November 2021. Only 49% of CRO's eventual supply (48.54B of 100.00B) is currently in circulation — meaningful future dilution is built into the schedule and should be factored into long-term valuation. Trading volume is light versus market value — only about 0.7% of capitalisation changes hands daily — so larger orders can move price more than they would for higher-liquidity peers.
How it works — Cronos
Cronos is an exchange token: issued by a centralized cryptocurrency exchange, with utility tied directly to that exchange (typically fee discounts on trading, access to launchpad sales, voting on listings, or reduced borrow rates on margin and futures). Some exchange tokens also function as the native gas asset for a chain operated by the exchange.
Use cases — Cronos
Cronos is used for: paying trading fees at a discount, participating in token launches via the exchange's launchpad, voting on listings, accessing premium products, and (where the exchange runs a chain) paying gas for chain transactions.
Tokenomics
Supply schedule & distribution
- Circulating supply: 48.54B CRO — tokens actively trading and held by the public
- Total supply: 98.90B CRO — all tokens minted to date (including those locked or held by the issuer)
- Max supply: 100.00B CRO — the protocol-defined upper limit (if any) on lifetime issuance
- Issued to date: 48.5% of max supply
- Locked / treasury: 50.9% of total supply
Cronos's supply schedule directly affects its long-term inflation rate and, by extension, how dilutive future issuance will be to existing holders. A coin near full dilution behaves very differently from one that still has 60% of its supply waiting to be unlocked.
Supply economics
Issuance pressure, dilution, and structural value accrual
The supply story for Cronos comes down to three things: how tokens are issued over time, how many are circulating now, and how far the fully-diluted valuation sits above the circulating market cap. Only 48.5% of maximum supply is currently circulating, meaning future emissions remain a meaningful source of structural sell pressure. Issuance velocity and unlock schedules become important variables in any longer-term thesis. The fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $6.8 billion stands at 2.0× the current circulating market cap of $3.4 billion. The wider this ratio, the more issuance overhang the asset faces — a structural headwind on valuation that mature assets like Bitcoin do not face but that early-cycle assets typically do.
For thesis-building, the relevant question is whether the structural value-accrual mechanism (fee burns, staking-yield reinvestment, deflationary supply mechanics, ecosystem TVL growth) outpaces the structural emission pressure. When it does, the price tends to grind higher over multi-quarter windows even without speculative momentum; when it does not, the asset typically requires consistent narrative-driven demand to absorb the issuance.
Trader's note
Coin-type-aware tactical interpretation
For Cronos as an exchange token, the relevant tactical anchor is the issuing exchange's market share trajectory and fee revenue. The token is effectively a claim on a stream of exchange revenue — either directly through buy-backs and burns, or indirectly through fee discounts that grow more valuable as the exchange grows.
The risks worth monitoring: regulatory pressure on the exchange (this directly damages the token), competitive market-share shifts among major exchanges, and any signal that the exchange may be using token-supply mechanisms (burns, buy-backs) more aggressively to support price during weak quarters. Holding the token on the issuing exchange compounds the counterparty risk; cold-storage is the appropriate posture for long-term positions.

Market sentiment
Crypto Fear & Greed Index · alternative.me
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index aggregates volatility, market momentum, social media activity, dominance and Google Trends data into a single 0–100 score updated daily. Today's reading is 73 — Greed.
Extreme fear (below 25) historically signals buying opportunities for contrarians, while extreme greed (above 75) often precedes corrections. The index works best as one input among many, not as a standalone trading signal.
Macro & cross-asset context
How macro liquidity and cross-asset moves frame the trade
The macro picture for digital assets turns on three levers — Federal Reserve policy, the path of dollar liquidity, and broad risk sentiment. Historically the whole asset class has tracked the global liquidity cycle closely, expanding in easing regimes and contracting when financial conditions tighten.
A handful of traditional gauges tend to lead or confirm crypto moves: the dollar index (strength is a headwind), the 10-year yield (the price of risk capital), gold (an occasional fellow-traveller in debasement trades), and the S&P 500 (which often moves with crypto when liquidity, not fundamentals, is in the driver's seat).
For Cronos specifically, the macro variable that has empirically led price most often is global crypto-market liquidity — proxied by stablecoin total supply, futures open interest, and exchange volumes. When these expand, CRO tends to follow; when they contract, the relationship typically reverses. Given the 90-day BTC correlation of +0.61, CRO's near-term macro sensitivity will be similar to Bitcoin's — driven primarily by the same liquidity conditions and risk-asset flows.
Risks
Specific risks: regulatory risk (the exchange itself may face enforcement, which damages the token), centralization risk (a single entity controls supply emissions and burn schedules), custody risk if held on the issuing exchange (counterparty exposure to the exchange's solvency), and revenue concentration risk (value tracks the exchange's market share, not broad crypto adoption).
