Crypto.com Unveils 2025 Roadmap: ETF for Cronos and Stablecoin Launch on the Horizon

Crypto.com, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has revealed its 2025 roadmap, highlighting plans to expand its services and offerings. The exchange aims to file an ETF for its native token, Cronos (CRO), in the fourth quarter of 2025, marking a significant step towards institutionalization of digital assets. Additionally, Crypto.com plans to launch a new stablecoin by the third quarter of 2025, further diversifying its product suite.

The exchange's spokesperson emphasized that these initiatives are part of a broader effort to enhance user experience and provide the broadest range of financial investment services. Crypto.com has already delivered five of the six planned products laid out in its Q1 roadmap and launched institutional custody services ahead of schedule.

Crypto.com's expansion plans come on the heels of securing a full European Union license under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) framework. The exchange, headquartered in Singapore, operates globally and is the 13th-largest digital asset exchange by total volume, according to CoinMarketCap.

The crypto ETF race is heating up, with digital assets witnessing a wave of institutional adoption in 2024. Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States pulled in more than $35 billion in 2024 and ended the year with more than $100 billion in net assets. The momentum has continued into 2025, with spot Bitcoin funds pulling in $4.94 billion in January alone.

After a slow start, spot Ether (ETH) ETFs attracted billions of dollars in November and December 2024. A more favorable regulatory climate in the US, following the election of President Donald Trump and a changing of the guard at the Securities and Exchange Commission, is expected to lead to a spate of crypto ETF approvals in 2025.

Asset managers are taking note and have upped their fund submissions in recent months. Investment giants VanEck, Grayscale, 21Shares, Bitwise, and Canary Capital have all applied for Solana (SOL) ETFs, which would give institutional investors access to the fifth-largest cryptocurrency. Van
