cro coin review

Most of the top crypto exchanges have their own native token. Binance has  BNB, KuCoin has KCS, Gate.io has GT, and Huobi Global has HT.

They all have their own token. And Crypto.com has the CRO token. In this article, we are going to talk about the CRO coin.

What Is the CRO Coin?

The CRO coin is the native and utility token of the crypto.com exchange. Most exchanges use their native tokens to incentivize their users. In this case, with the CRO token, you can:

  • Stake
  • Pay transaction fees
  • Raise liquidity
  • Participate in governance voting. (in case they are a DAO)

In the crypto.com ecosystem, the CRO coin also has some functions. With their flagship credit cards, you can receive discounts or special rewards. We, as users, get lower trading fees or higher lending rewards.

This coin is also going to play an active role in the Web3 future of crypto.com. DeFi is another area in which crypto.com wants to expand. This will also open new utility options for the coin.

In 2021, this coin saw an 850% growth in price. However, in 2022, the coin struggled, like most other tokens. After the FTX collapse, the way we look at exchanges changed. With this current situation in the back of our minds, exchange coins have lost a bit of their charm. So, it will be interesting to see what 2023 brings for CEXs. However, once we are back in a bull run, the surviving exchange coins will roar again.

Where to Buy the CRO Coin?

You can buy the CRO coin at most major exchanges. For example, crypto.com, OKX, KuCoin, Gate.io, or MEXC Global. There are also plenty of smaller, local exchanges that offer CRO. For instance, Bitvavo in the Netherlands or Indodax in Indonesia.

Furthermore, there are also a few DEXs that offer this coin. For example, Osmosis on the Cosmos chain, Uniswap V3, or DeFi Swap. In general, there are plenty of options available for you to buy CRO.
