Crypto.com [CRO] price soars by 800% in 12 months

Crypto.com [CRO] has been skyrocketing amidst a sharp correction in the broader market. The native token set a new all-time high at $0.79 on the 22nd of November, surging by 11% in a span of 24 hours. For the uninitiated, Crypto.com is essentially a Singapore-based firm that runs a cryptocurrency exchange application. It was initially named ‘Monaco Technologies GmbH’ in 2016 by prominent engineers, Bobby Bao and Kris Marszalek who is now the Chief Executive Officer. The CRO blockchain acts as a vehicle that powers the firm’s mobile payments app. The native token went live in November-December 2018.

Amidst a slew of corrections in the market, the CRO token has managed to swoop in gains after the crypto exchange purchased the naming rights from the leading sports and live entertainment company, AEG for 20 years for a whopping $700 million.

Earlier in March this year, the project raised a massive $200 million in a venture capital funding round. The fund raised was largely deployed in marketing campaigns and helped increase the number of users on the platform. Crypto.com’s recent developments have catapulted CRO’s price to amass over a 41% surge in just a week. To top that, Coinbase listing also aided in the token’s initial growth.
