The partnership includes plans for a Cronos private trust and a future ETF.
This will offer retail and institutional investors CRO investment products for regulated exposure to Cronos.
Expanding Access to Cronos
Cronos is an Ethereum-compatible Layer 1 blockchain that runs on the Cosmos SDK. It is a framework designed to make blockchain development easier and more efficient. Its compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine and the Cosmos ecosystem allows developers to use existing tools and integrate seamlessly with a wide range of decentralized applications. Cronos also prioritizes low transaction fees and high scalability, making it attractive for both developers and everyday users.
By offering investment products like ETFs, 21Shares and Crypto.com aim to bridge the gap between the crypto world and regulated financial markets. Federico Brokate, Global Head of Business Development at 21Shares, highlighted that the partnership provides “institutional-grade regulated exposure to the most relevant crypto assets,” reflecting a trend where investors increasingly seek reliable, transparent ways to access digital currencies without directly holding them.
