Cronos network unlocks 1.17B CRO tokens worth $69.5-$73M, impacting supply but not immediate selling pressure.

On October 17, the Cronos network released 1.17 billion CRO tokens, about 2.33% of the circulating supply, valued between $69.5 million and $73 million. These tokens went to the network's Strategic Reserve, not to the team or early investors, meaning no immediate selling pressure is expected. CRO's daily trading volume is low, so the release is significant relative to turnover, potentially affecting price liquidity. The release is part of a scheduled supply increase, with nearly half of CRO's total supply still locked, and ongoing burns not yet offsetting new issuances. German investors should note regulatory and tax considerations, including the one-year holding period for tax-free gains and the importance of choosing trading venues carefully due to CRO's thin market depth.

Cronos (CRO) has a market cap of Rp52.28 trillion and a circulating supply of 50.7 billion tokens as of October 19, 2026, 19:32 WIB. The recent release of 1.17 billion tokens represents a notable portion of the circulating supply relative to its daily trading volume of Rp77.9 million on Pluang. Despite the token release, CRO's price on Pluang rose by 2.65% to Rp1,040, with order activity heavily skewed towards selling at 98%.
