Key Insights:
- Crypto.com announced a partnership with market data platform Benzinga.
- Crypto.com’s users will get data on stocks, including crypto stocks, from Benzinga’s market data.
- This comes following news of a partnership with Trump Media to offer DJT shareholders a new token.
- Cronos (CRO) price extended its weekly rally to more than 7%.
Crypto.com, one of the world’s leading crypto exchanges, will integrate Benzinga’s stocks data for the US market. This comes after news of a partnership with Trump Media to launch a rewards token for DJT shareholders.
As a result, Cronos (CRO) price has rebounded more than 7% in the last two days. The broader crypto market rebound has also helped maintain upside momentum.
Crypto.com and Benzinga entered a strategic collaboration to provide enhanced U.S. equities intelligence to the crypto exchange’s user base, according to a press release on January 2.
The platform will integrate several of Benzinga’s market data APIs, including the IPO Calendar, Earnings Calendar, and Analyst Ratings Calendar.
Clients will also get access to Benzinga’s Government Trades API, Insider Trades API, and Company Logos. This will help users get timely, actionable insights for making more informed decisions in U.S. stock investments.
Crypto.com plans to provide a better experience for retail investors seeking greater transparency and context around public companies, market events, and macroeconomic activity.
This would help boost crypto expansion into traditional asset coverage. The collaboration also reflects a broader evolution in the financial ecosystem.
As the focus on crypto stocks and tokenization rises under the Trump administration, platforms are required to provide deeper insight, greater accessibility, and a more holistic view of global markets.
Andrew Lebbos, SVP of Data Licensing at Benzinga, claims that access to high-quality, contextual data becomes even more critical as retail investors’ participation grows immensely across both asset classes.
Crypto.com also partnered with President Donald Trump’s publicly traded communications company, Trump Media. It plans to distribute a new blockchain-based token to DJT stock holders.
The move represented Trump Media’s latest foray into the world of crypto tokenomics, including launching a multi-billion-dollar Bitcoin treasury.
Earlier, Trump Media even had a talk with Crypto.com to acquire the exchange’s native CRO token. The tokens will be sent to owners of DJT stock based on their stock holdings.
However, these tokens will not, in and of themselves, represent an ownership interest in Trump Media or any other entity.
DJT stock closed more than 5.33% at $13.24, according to Yahoo Finance. Today, the stock is trading almost 1% higher at the time of writing.
Cronos price jumped 4% over the past 24 hours, currently trading at $0.0947. The intraday low and high were $0.0910 and $0.09493, respectively.
Furthermore, trading volume has decreased by 35% in the last 24 hours, indicating a decline in interest among traders. However, the weekly trend remains upside, with $0.01 as the key resistance level.
Analyst Lucky claimed CRO price has revisited its July low. He predicted a potential setup for the $0.03 in the coming weeks or months.
