Cronos Partners with Amazon to Accelerate Institutional Tokenization and RWA Adoption

• Cronos has teamed up with Amazon Web Services to expand tokenization and real-world asset adoption.
• The partnership offers up to $100,000 in AWS credits for Cronos builders and startups.

Cronos has signed an agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to make blockchain data and tools easier to use for developers and financial institutions. The partnership is aimed at pushing tokenization and real-world assets into wider use, while giving companies a clear way to connect traditional finance with blockchain.

Support for Developers and Financial Institutions

As part of the deal, Cronos data will be available through AWS Public Blockchain Data. This means banks and large companies can rely on a secure channel for information and reporting. It will also allow developers to run detailed queries and create reporting models that can cut down on the time it takes to build and test new services.

AWS will also provide direct support to selected Cronos builders. Startups in the network will be able to access up to $100,000 in AWS credits to grow their projects. These credits are meant to help early-stage and institutional developers create services such as tokenization pilots, platforms for real-world assets, and decentralized finance applications.

AWS explained that institutions need reliable and compliant systems as they consider tokenization. By combining Cronos technology with AWS security measures, both new and established firms will be able to create solutions that meet industry standards.

Notably, since the announcement, Cronos (CRO) has shown a mild uptick in the market. The token is currently trading at $0.1886, up 1.64% in the last 24 hours. Cronos is ranked twenty-third by market value, with a capitalization of $6.57 billion. Trading volume over the past 24 hours reached $52.92 million, reflecting a 3.59% increase.

Cronos Roadmap and Growth Targets

The announcement follows the release of the Cronos 2025–2026 roadmap. As noted in our earlier post, this sets out plans for a tokenization platform covering equities, funds, commodities, insurance, foreign exchange, and real estate. The roadmap is aimed at positioning Cronos as the preferred blockchain for institutions.

Recent improvements on the network show the plan is already moving forward. Block times are now just 0.5 seconds, and transaction fees have dropped by ten times. These changes have led to a 400% rise in daily transactions. By 2026, Cronos aims to reach $10 billion in tokenized assets and expects to attract 20 million users across both its centralized and decentralized finance markets.

Mirko Zhao, Head of Cronos Labs, said that the next phase of growth will be shaped by tokenization and real-world assets. He noted that Cronos has the benefit of distribution through Crypto.com, liquidity in CRO, and now added strength through AWS. Together, the partnership is seen as a major step toward bringing tokenization into mainstream finance.

In related news, CNF reported that Cronos users now enjoy instant 1:1 cross-chain transfers with finality. This unlocked seamless DeFi movement between over 50 blockchains. Additionally, as highlighted in our previous article, 21Shares launched a regulated ETP for Cronos (CRO), boosting institutional access to Web3 without requiring crypto wallets.
