Crypto.com teases banking, credit card, and stock services in new roadmap

Source Cryptopolitan

Crypto.com has big plans for 2025, with a renewed service package connecting to credit card and stock services. The crypto trading platform presented its 2025 roadmap as it appears to be preparing to stretch its leading position across multiple crypto cycles. 

Crypto.com has announced its 2025 roadmap after a year of dominating North American crypto trading and surpassing Coinbase. The announcement arrived after a rise in pro-crypto expectations based on the ties between Bitcoin’s fate and US election results.

Crypto.com building on solid 2024 performance   

Crypto.com cashed in on its growing reputation, as its native CRO token reached a one-month peak and traded between $0.087 and $0.091. 

The payment, trading, and investment hub will tap some of the available DeFi functionalities, but it is also expected to extend its services to fiat banking, stocks, and crypto card issuance. Other products will include rewards on Bitcoin, margined derivatives, and a new set of Cronos AI dev tools. The existing and new financial services may be subject to limitations for some countries and territories.

Crypto.com also announced its Level Up reward initiative, which will span the brand’s entire family of companies. Level Up will reward users of the brand’s existing and upcoming products, including on deposits and savings accounts. 

Users will receive bonuses on deposits and transfers, up to 7.5% annualized on idle cash balances for the first year, and up to 8% rewards on Crypto.com card spending. The platform will also expand to lifestyle benefits, including support and services from partners. All new products from the brand will come with Level Up additional perks over time. 

The Crypto.com brand and services already have a strong reputation, but the project aims to move into memetic status, by raising a social media family. Kris Marszalek, the company’s CEO, presented the 2025 roadmap as a community effort and outreach. The project aims for a “transformative year” in 2025. 

On the matter of wider crypto adoption, Crypto.com and Cronos Bank have set a goal of bringing international business and personal bank accounts. Customers will also have access to a fiat wallet, fully compliant with EU payments in the SEPA Euro Area, as well as US banking access. 

At the end of October, Crypto.com also acquired an SEC-registered broker-dealer. After the acquisition of Watchdog Capital LLC, US-based traders will be able to acquire and trade equities and equity options. 

We are aggressively working towards integrating traditional financial tools with digital financial capabilities and are doing so while maintaining our focus on building responsibly with the necessary licenses and registrations to operate as the industry’s leader.

Kris Marszalek, CEO of Crypto.com.

Crypto.com was one of the startups to unite crypto and traditional finance with its first public ICO in June 2017. The project has endured multiple bear markets and regulatory obstacles to emerge as one of the most liquid trading and DeFi hubs in 2024. 

Crypto.com has $6.45B in total value locked and a highly liquid exchange with more than $8.5B in daily volumes. Its closest competition, Coinbase carries around $5.6B in daily volumes. 

Crypto.com to grow its L2 brand

In addition to its fintech functions, the Crypto.com brand is working toward a native L2 chain, Cronos. The Cronos chain itself has $418M in locked value and is Crypto.com’s main DeFi activity hub. 

As an L2, Cronos intended to ride the trend of building ZK-EVM, which is still partially centralized. The Cronos L2 launched in August 2024, and it is a relatively new addition to the DeFi space.

VVS Finance DEX is the leading app on Cronos, which has liquidity inflows from ETH liquid staking. Cronos also carries the CROFAM token, a community decentralized asset aiming to tap the meme token energy. CROFAM has a market cap above $300M, but it remains a relatively niche asset. 

Crypto.com has reached more than 100M customers based on its reports, reaching the milestone during this year’s Q2 bull market. The company, however, has not abandoned the relatively new on-chain activity to target crypto-natives.

Bitcoin Slides 5% as Sellers Lean In — Can BTC Reclaim $88,000?Bitcoin has dropped back below $88,000 after rolling over from $90,500, with price still trading under the 100-hour Simple Moving Average. The sell-off found a floor at $85,151, and BTC is now consolidating near that base, but rebounds are facing pressure from a bearish trend line around $89,000. Bulls need to retake $88,000–$89,000 to ease downside risk; failure to do so keeps $85,500–$85,000 and then $83,500 in play, with $80,000 as the deeper “line in the sand.” Bitcoin (BTC) is back in damage-control mode after a sharp pullback wiped out recent gains. The price failed to reclaim the $90,000–$90,500 band, rolled over, and slid through $88,500 before briefly dipping under $87,000. Buyers did show up around $85,000, but the rebound so far looks more like stabilization than a clear trend reversal. Bitcoin dips hard, finds a bid near $85,000(h3) BTC’s latest move lower began when it couldn’t build follow-through above $90,000 and $90,500. Once that upside stalled, sellers took control and pushed price down through $88,500. The slide accelerated enough to spike below $87,000, but the market didn’t free-fall. Bulls defended the $85,000 zone, printing a low at $85,151. Since then, Bitcoin has been consolidating below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the drop from the $93,560 swing high to the $85,151 low — a clue that the bounce is still shallow and that sellers haven’t fully backed off yet. Structurally, BTC is still on the back foot: It’s trading below $88,000, and It remains below the 100-hour Simple Moving Average, keeping short-term trend pressure pointed downward. Resistance is layered, and $89,000 is the problem area(h3) If bulls try to turn this into a recovery, they’ll have to climb through multiple ceilings in quick succession. First, BTC faces resistance around $87,150, followed by a more meaningful barrier near $87,500. From there, the market’s attention snaps back to $88,000 — the level BTC just lost and now needs to reclaim. A close back above $88,000 would improve the tone, but it doesn’t solve the bigger issue: there’s a bearish trend line on the hourly BTC/USD chart (Kraken feed) with resistance near $89,000, which also lines up with the next technical hurdle. If BTC can push through $89,000 and hold, the rebound could extend toward $90,000, with follow-through targets at $91,000 and $91,500. But until price clears that $88,000–$89,000 zone, rallies are at risk of being sold rather than chased. If BTC fails to reclaim resistance, the downside path is clear(h3) The near-term bear case is simple: if Bitcoin can’t climb back above the $87,000 area and keep traction, sellers may attempt another leg lower. Support levels line up like this: Immediate support: $85,500 First major support: $85,000 Next support: $83,500 Then $82,500 in the near term Below that, the major “don’t break this” level is still $80,000. If BTC slips under $80,000, the risk of acceleration to the downside increases significantly — not because it’s magic, but because it’s the kind of psychological and structural level that tends to trigger forced de-risking. Indicators: momentum still leans bearish(h3) The intraday indicators aren’t offering much comfort yet: Hourly MACD is losing pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI remains below 50, suggesting sellers still have the upper hand on short timeframes. So while the $85,000 defense held for now, the market hasn’t flipped bullish — it’s just stopped bleeding.
