Cronos, the Layer 1 blockchain tied to Crypto.com, has approved a proposal to reissue 70 billion $CRO, reversing a 2021 token burn and restoring the total supply to 100 billion.
The tokens will go into a strategic reserve for ecosystem growth, institutional adoption, and a potential CRO-backed ETF. Critics point to a last-minute voting surge—mainly from Crypto.com-controlled validators—that secured the proposal’s passage, raising concerns about governance.

Memecoins have become a key revenue stream for Raydium, with Pump.fun-generated tokens driving 41% of its swap fees in the past month. The battle for dominance in Solana’s DeFi ecosystem is heating up.
