Anyone who accepted the new T&C’s a year or so, agreed to the card rewards being based on the DeFi (Onchain) percentage, moving away from the previous fixed interest rates. The more people staked on DeFi, the lower the rate becomes. However, even this is now somewhat defunct, due to the new CEO & Executive Team taking over Cronos Labs, which includes DeFi and the Exchange, the rates are steadily declining. They announced that they were changing CRO from an Inflationary coin, to a Deflationary coin, and therefore the rewards would continually drop until 3%, which will be the new “fixed rate” of staking in the DeFi App, and Onchain staking.
However, we should not worry, as the new deflationary CRO, coupled with releasing the new “Super App, will bring a lot of new users, and the price will increase. Therefore, you’re not really losing anything, you’ll be gaining value for whatever CRO you hold!
And, yes it’s a trust me Bro 😎

Still have time to short CRO. I’ve been short since $0.20’s and no plans on covering anytime soon. I’m targeting atleast $0.03

Who’s comparing CRO to Bitcoin in this day and age? Maybe in 2021 but not now.
CRO is more comparable to fartcoin now.

never spend FIAT on CRO. Only accumulate in rewards however that may be. Do this an you won't be disappointed.

It’s just how this Sub is , many are emotionally scarred from buying high, and either selling low, or through continually looking at their unrealized losses. They upvote or downvote like a large group of lemmings, I don’t take much notice of it to be honest. But, to be fair, I do see it, and just shake my head, mainly due to the lack of original thought. Their fixated on its a Scam, it’s a Ponzi, you must be a Pedo if you say anything remotely positive in regard to CRO, or even CDC 🤷‍♀️
But, ask a simple question like why Citadel did this, what’s the rationale, what are they hoping to achieve/gain.
The reply’s have been overwhelmingly “It’s an investment in CDC, and not CRO”. I mean, no S\*\*t Sherlock, thank you for the insight 🤣
However, one person did offer a different view, including providing a mechanism for Citadel to enter a new market, and move to RWA assets on a blockchain for example. Stating, it’s a far quicker and simpler move, than trying to start their own blockchain! Which I think is part of the rationale for investing that type of money, and I certainly don’t believe it was an investment in CRO. I’m sure Citadel will not be involved in trying to improve the coin utility, and increase price.

Bitcoin is a financial disruption and should never be used in the same sentence as a shitcoin with zero use case as CRO.
CRO is a reward token and a governance one in a dead chain. Zero need for existence.

Just as exciting as the Trump Media CRO Reserve

Danger here, the executive team is a dumpster fire. The CRO was fired, then rehired with a demotion.
Some very fishy stuff!

Crazy that you got downvoted for this and the person saying this isn’t an investment in cro got upvoted. Shows how uneducated this subreddit is. Clearly if they invested 400 million dollars specifically into crypto.com which is not a publicly traded company, you would assume most or all of it was an investment in CRO.

No, I think I’m in one of those abusive relationships that has become a fetish. Excited to see Kris spend all money on dumb advertising while printing more CRO, reducing benefits on the cards and stopping around my house once a year to have relations with my wife while forcing me to watch.

CRO became digital shite

Why? How do you see value flowing from CDC to CRO? The card rewards are constantly being slashed. Billions of coins are being released regularly. There is no demand.

Exactly. An indifferent to slightly jaded CDC user, as well, but this is big. Whether that translates into CRO "mooning" at some point is yet to be determined.

Stfu. CRO is trash

The problem is, CRO doesn't have any purpose for existence and could very well decouple from [crypto.com](http://crypto.com) even if they manage to grow from here. It is just tied to [crypto.com](http://crypto.com) reward system and that's about it. That is like hanging in for dear life.

Bitcoin is to gold as CRO is to miles/loyalty points

CDC is offering RWA tokenised assets on CEX trading with USD pairs, not with CRO.
Majority of RWA is on ethereum and solana chain, not sure how much of it is captured on cronos chain.

We’re in a bear market. Every pump will return back down. CRO isn’t going to moon with bitcoin slowly declining in price.
Crypto sentiment is terrible right now. I almost think we’ll be waiting until 2028 for any big positive catalyst. Trump was a complete failure per usual.

CRO vs Bitcoin

I actually agree with most of what you say, but CDC is not a Ponzi, as such you lose some credibility in the rest of your statement/thoughts. However, let’s put that to one side and look at the topic of the ETF, I’m in the same boat as you in regard to, who would actually buy it 🤷‍♀️. Therefore, being inquisitive 🧐 I have been thinking about this very thing for a while, but everything we can actually see today means virtually nobody would buy, unless you know something the unwashed masses like us don’t know what is about to happen. When I say, about to happen, I’m not talking days or weeks, and probably not a few months!
However, what we actually do know, is that since 2024, we’ve seen several changes, each on their own meaning pretty little. Yet, when we look at the following list, it shows a changing landscape:
Exchange becomes available to the USA
A Roadmap is introduced
Banking is added
Stocks are added
Credit Cards added
A new CEO is introduced to Cronos Labs
A new executive team is added to Cronos Labs
Instigated a change to staking, with a view to change CRO from an inflationary coin, to a deflationary coin.
We know a new “Super App” is expected relatively soon, but don’t know what benefits that brings in reality at this moment.
A tie in with Trump and Truth Social are introduced (whether you like it or not)
They’ve bought two other small crypto companies
They’ve been busy expanding their footprint globally, still using approved licenses
Citadel buys a stake
And, we come back to the ETF, and as you say, the continual delay to actually introducing it to the pubic & institutions! I think that they’re clearly waiting for the right time, but when would that be, if they don’t change something dramatic, which would make people sit up and take notice. I firmly believe everything they’ve done is providing clear evidence it’s not a Ponzi.
I also think 🤔 something else is coming, much like OP. It’s not a big shift to actually see the ETF is being delayed, for the reasons you state, waiting for that change which will convince people and institutions to buy. Tying these goals together makes absolute sense if you can take emotions out of the equation! Which I actually do think you’re smart enough to do 🤷‍♀️
A few other things that are purportedly coming:
AI agents, we know Kris bought a new domain name for an obscene price.
New layers for Cronos, with Cronos POS being the layer 0 that others are built on top of.
Introducing New Burns, based on price and size
AI Proving Poof of Identity
