So you’re saying Kris and CDC are now the de facto back stop for all future exploits on the Cronos network? Any user or dApp gets exploited the validators will step in and roll back the network? Or does this only work for big players? At what point does this insurance policy cover apply? Does it only cover Kris and his CDC incubated projects?
You seem to be deliberately ignoring the fact that nothing running on the Cronos network means anything anymore, what about everyone else’s lives that were impacted when Kris turned CRO off, positions not closed, trades not made. Do those innocent people get made whole?

CRO at around six cents starts looking a little different once you actually put the numbers next to what Cronos is planning.
Right now CRO is only around a $3 billion circulating market cap.
Meanwhile, Cronos is talking about getting around 20 million users onto Cronos rails, bringing $10 billion in real-world assets into the ecosystem, growing institutional exposure to CRO, and launching this new Cronos App with crypto, stocks, prediction markets, sports, perps and everything basically tied together.
Now obviously $10 billion coming into the ecosystem does NOT automatically mean CRO gains $10 billion in market cap.
But just to put things in perspective, if CRO’s market cap itself grew by another $10 billion from where it is now, that would put CRO somewhere around $0.27 at the current circulating supply.
That’s really not a crazy market cap in crypto.
At $0.50, CRO would only be around a $24 billion circulating market cap.
Then remember [http://Crypto.com](https://t.co/2eQCUketcb) already has over 150 million registered users.
They don’t need everybody to switch over. If they somehow get just 5% of that user base using the Cronos App, you’re talking about around 7.5 million people.
Now you have millions of people potentially trading crypto, stocks, prediction markets, perps, using Cronos, generating fees, etc.
And this is probably the part I’m most bullish about:
They’re talking about using some of the revenue generated by all of this to actually buy CRO back and burn it.
So now you’re potentially creating demand from users, demand from institutions, more activity on Cronos, AND recurring CRO purchases and burns.
Then throw all of that into a strong bull market or a real altseason.
That’s why I really don’t think $0.30-$0.50 CRO sounds crazy if they execute.
If the app really takes off and they start getting anywhere close to those 20 million users, I could see $0.50-$0.70.
And if everything goes right at the same time — massive adoption, institutional buying, meaningful burns and full-blown altcoin mania — then yeah, I think $1 CRO at least becomes a real conversation.
Doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed.
They still have to actually deliver.
But six-cent CRO looks a lot different to me when the upside scenario only needs a $20-$30 billion market cap to start getting into some pretty serious numbers.

A copy paste is my comment from another thread:
Saying the chain wasn't hacked and it was just an app completely misses the bigger picture. While it is technically true that Cronos's core code wasn't breached, pulling the plug on an entire Layer-1 blockchain just to bail out a single dApp is a massive red flag.
The whole value proposition of a public blockchain is that it is supposed to be permissionless, immutable and censorship-resistant. If a small group of validators can coordinate in minutes to hit a network-wide pause button over a smart contract failure, it basically proves the network is centralised. At that point it is just being run like a private server with a few extra steps.
Then you have to look at the collateral damage to everyone else. Halting the entire chain doesn't just freeze the exploiter, it freezes every single innocent user. Anyone who had nothing to do with Tectonic is currently locked out of their funds. Regular users cannot manage their loan health, execute trades, or move their assets to safety, all because one incubated CDC created app had a flaw in its oracle logic.
It also sets a really dangerous precedent regarding selective bailouts and moral hazard. You have to ask where the network draws the line. If a small community-built dApp gets exploited for a couple of million, are the validators going to halt the entire chain to save it? Stepping in to save an incubated giant like Tectonic makes it look like there is a separate set of rules for the big players.
If the network ultimately has to intervene at the base layer to blacklist addresses or roll back the chain state, it completely destroys the foundational rule of crypto that ‘code is law’. Framing this as just an app exploit treats the system-wide chain halt like a minor detail, when the halt is actually the main event. CRO didn't need to have a native bug for the network to fail its most basic test of providing a neutral, reliable, and unstoppable infrastructure.

What do Matt Damon, LeBron James and Eminem all have in common?
All three have worked with [Crypto.com](http://crypto.com/) and put their names behind the brand.
Think about that for a second. These aren’t random influencers. They’re some of the biggest names in movies, sports and music.
Does that guarantee CRO goes up? Obviously not. But [Crypto.com](http://crypto.com/) has already shown it can attract some of the biggest celebrities on earth and put serious money behind marketing.
Now imagine that kind of push behind the next phase of Cronos and CRO.
I don’t think people realize how big the ecosystem they’re building could actually become.
Who will the next 3 be?

I agree with you that this is one of the least worst things Crypto dot com has done to their users.
They actually used their centralization to protect their users from harm for once ... unlike the time they diluted MCO holders or the time they unilaterally voted against their users to increase the supply of CRO by 200%.
(Also, centralized mining pools have, without warning, reorged Bitcoin in the past to protect against a major bug in 2013, resulting in at least 1 known double-spend.)

They should be thanking the person that did it. Dumped everything they stole pls eth into CRO and burned it 😂

People pulling out and CRO separate from CDC, suddenly a hack and the chain is frozen? 🥶 The shenanigans never end.

CRO FREEZE

Simple refference
You commit**10 CRO**
Permanently burned**7 CRO**
Reserved for liquidity**3 CRO**
You receive**0.98 EMBR**
Rest is allocated to **LP**
The liquidity pool/entire protocol that handles this is completely locked and untouchable

yea if anythin is sleeping its the CRO defi chain. So if cro is in the middle of one big snoozefest.
good luck with that you'll need it

CRO and AI

CRO to the MOON 🌝

My TONIC is showing $25,000, but didn’t touch it, and yes that’s way over what it should be worth!! What a mess, however I’ve still been moving my CRO around fine, even less than an hour ago.
Hopefully we’ll hear updates relatively soon.

I recently read this: **Vision Life Sciences article on Chinese AI drug discovery** and was surprised by some of the numbers. It led me down a rabbit hole on Chinese biotech, and I ended up taking a position in the **Global X China Biotech ETF (2820 HK)**.
The thesis is not simply “AI will discover drugs faster.” What caught my attention is that AI may actually make China’s existing **wet-lab, CRO/CDMO and clinical-trial infrastructure more valuable**. AI can generate far more promising molecules, but somebody still needs to synthesise, test, validate and manufacture them.
Some facts that stood out to me:
\- China went from \~2% of global clinical trials in 2009 to roughly **32% in 2025**.
\- Chinese clinical development is significantly faster and cheaper than in the US.
\- Chinese biotech has rapidly become a major source of drugs licensed by Western Big Pharma.
\- China has built a deep ecosystem around companies such as **WuXi AppTec, WuXi Biologics, Pharmaron, Hengrui, Innovent and BeOne**.
\- Biotech, AI and innovative medicines are also explicit **Chinese state priorities**, with policy support now extending into R&D, healthcare data, licensing and international expansion.
\- China has built a deep ecosystem around companies such as **WuXi AppTec, WuXi Biologics, Pharmaron, Hengrui, Innovent and BeOne**.
\- Biotech, AI and innovative medicines are also explicit **Chinese state priorities**, with policy support now extending into R&D, healthcare data, licensing and international expansion.
So the potential flywheel is:
**AI → more viable molecules → faster/cheaper Chinese testing → more clinical data → more licensing to global pharma → more capital and better R&D.**
I normally prefer individual stocks over thematic ETFs. Here, though, an ETF made more sense to me because **(a)** I’m not a biotech expert, **(b)** individual drug pipelines are highly binary, and **(c)** I’m really betting on the ecosystem rather than one molecule/company.
I chose **2820 HK** because it covers both the **innovators** (BeOne, Innovent, Hengrui, Akeso etc.) and the **picks-and-shovels** (WuXi AppTec, WuXi Biologics, Pharmaron, Tigermed etc.), including mainland A-shares that some competing ETFs miss.
One caveat: the fund may use up to **50% synthetic exposure**, although currently it is almost entirely invested directly in securities. Normally that would bother me more, but I preferred its overall exposure.
The obvious risks are **US-China geopolitics, clinical failures, regulation/IP issues and valuation** — some of the leaders have already rerated significantly.
**Curious where people think this thesis breaks. Is China’s combination of AI + biotech infrastructure + clinical execution a durable competitive advantage, or are the recent numbers being extrapolated too far?**

Nobody’s burning anything. CRO isn’t even working right now! 🤡

They’re going to be burning CRO during alt season, and I really believe this is going to be alt season. Just imagine what that could do to the price. More money flowing into alts while CRO’s supply is being reduced at the same time. I don’t think people realize how big that could be.

lol got banned years ago from their reddit sub for calling tectonic scammy. low and behold. they can keep the 4 dollars I have that are being propped up by 20 or 30 CRO but hasn't liquidated for years... hahahhahaha

Ouch. I was looking at my FulCrom wallet and it’s showing empty this AM. Luckily, it’s like $100 thats inaccessible.
Just what CRO needs to really sing!
