Crypto.com has made launching an exchange-traded fund (ETF) for its native token Cronos (CRO) a top priority for 2025.
According to the exchange’s recently released roadmap, the ETF submission is planned for the fourth quarter, though specific details have not been disclosed.
Before filing for the ETF, Crypto.com is set to expand its offerings by listing stocks, stock options, and ETFs on its platform starting in the first quarter. The exchange is also rolling out new banking features, including personal multi-currency accounts and cash savings accounts. One of its most ambitious goals is launching a new Crypto.com stablecoin by the third quarter.
The news comes as the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is rumored to be weighing an inquiry into the legality of Crypto.com’s futures contracts. These contracts, which offer users the chance to place bets on football games—including the much-anticipated Super Bowl—have caught the regulator’s attention.
In October, Crypto.com acquired Watchdog Capital, a broker-dealer registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as part of its expansion strategy.
That said, the exchange already launched five of the six planned products from its Q1 roadmap and introduced institutional custody services ahead of schedule. While headquartered in Singapore, Crypto.com operates globally and recently secured a full European Union license under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) framework.
Crypto.com ranks as the 13th-largest cryptocurrency exchange by total volume, according to CoinMarketCap. It gained prominence during the 2020–2021 bull market as a mobile-first platform and has since expanded its regulatory footprint.
The push for a Cronos ETF comes amid rising institutional demand for crypto-based investment products. In 2024, the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. fueled a surge in institutional adoption, with these funds pulling in over $35 billion and ending the year with more than $100 billion in net assets.
A more favorable regulatory climate under President Donald Trump’s administration, coupled with leadership changes at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is expected to accelerate approvals for additional crypto ETFs.
