Crypto.com launches its exchange, celebrates by rewarding the community

Crypto.com (CRO) price has dropped more than 20% in the last two days after the staking rewards were slashed by 70%.

Fundamental analysis: Five million active users

The number of active users has reached five million, a landmark that’s been overshadowed by 70% staking rewards cuts for the exchange’s native CRO token. This is the first time the famous cryptocurrency exchange has reached five million users, just three months after it hit the three million users milestone. 

The company hit its first million users back in September 2019 and tripled that figure in the next nine months.  

Kris Marszalek, co-founder and chief executive of the crypto exchange said his company intends to keep expanding its client base and added it’s targeting 15 million users by the end of the next year. 

“Our longer-term strategic goal is to reach 100m users in the Crypto.com ecosystem within 5 years,” he said in a blog post.

However, many of Crypto.com’s users haven’t been happy lately as the exchange announced 70% cuts in staking rewards for CRO 24 hours before it hit the 5 million users milestone.  

Crypto.com users that hold 5,000 CRO or more and staked for 180 days can gain only 6% on a yearly basis. Before the reductions, users were able to earn 20% under the same conditions. 

The exchange’s incredible growth has been largely dependent on its huge marketing budget, with it recently spending a seven-figure amount for a marketing campaign. During the campaign, Crypto.com offered $2 million in Bitcoin to 25,000 users with a 50% discount and an additional $120,000 in a Twitter giveaway.

Technical analysis: CRO’s collapse continues
