Cronos (CRO)
Crypto.com EVM chain. CRO staking for exchange benefits.
Ranked 129th of 251 rated tokens. Scoring pass 11 Jun 2026.
What the numbers say
CRO scores 102 of 250 across the 25-variable framework, which places it 129th of 251 rated tokens and inside the lower half of the set. The framework verdict is WATCH.
The score rests on Buyback and Burn 5/10, 28th of 251, Institutional Adoption 5/10, 36th of 251, Real Staking Yield 5/10, 37th of 251 and Insider Selling 5/10, 42nd of 251.
Against the same universe, CRO sits in the bottom third on Holder Concentration 3/10, 197th of 251. These are the variables that would have to move for the verdict to change.
Only 47.3% of CRO's maximum supply is in circulation, so 2.11x the current float is still scheduled to arrive. Holding price per token flat while the rest enters circulation implies 52.7% of the fully diluted value sitting ahead of today's holders. That is a heavy overhang: most of the eventual supply has not reached the market yet.
CRO trades 94% below its all-time high of $0.8915. Recovering that level is a 16.7x move, not a 94% one, which is the arithmetic most drawdown charts hide.
The framework score gained 102 points against the previous pass (0 to 102). Revisions of this size follow a change in the underlying variables, not a change in price.
25-variable breakdown
Each variable is scored 1 to 10 and ranked against every other rated token, so a 7 that ranks 20th means something different from a 7 that ranks 180th. The rank is the part that is hard to get anywhere else.
