The surge follows yesterday’s announcement that Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) has launched a new company with an initial capital base of $6 billion, dedicated to accumulating CRO tokens. The news triggered a 40% spike in CRO’s price on the day of the announcement.

Over the past seven days, CRO has gained more than 150%, while OKB, which previously led the platform token rally, has declined nearly 10%. This shift suggests an internal rotation among exchange tokens, with CRO now taking the lead.
