Cronos partners with AWS to drive institutional adoption of tokenization and RWAs

Cronos has partnered with Amazon Web Services to provide institutions and developers with secure, scalable tools for blockchain tokenization and RWA applications.

Cronos (CRO) has announced a strategic partnership with AWS aimed at expanding institutional access to blockchain-based tokenization and RWA. Under the collaboration, Cronos data and infrastructure will be made available through AWS Public Blockchain Data, providing developers and financial institutions with secure, scalable access to blockchain information and analytical tools.

The partnership is designed to enable enterprises to streamline workflows and reporting while facilitating advanced analytics and AI-driven financial applications. Selected developers building on Cronos will also have the opportunity to receive up to $100,000 in AWS credits, supporting early-stage projects focused on tokenization platforms, DeFi protocols, and AI-powered applications.

“By leveraging AWS’s robust security controls and compliance frameworks alongside Cronos’s blockchain technology, we’re enabling both innovative startups and established institutions to build tokenization solutions that meet the highest standards of security and regulatory requirements,” said AWS.

Cronos advances roadmap with AWS partnership

The AWS collaboration marks a key step in executing Cronos’ recently unveiled 2025–2026 roadmap, which aims to position the ecosystem as the preferred blockchain for institutional adoption and tokenized finance. Central to this strategy is the launch of a purpose-built tokenization platform for equities, commodities, insurance, real estate, and other RWAs, alongside efforts to expand DeFi services to over 150 million users via Crypto.com. Additionally, the roadmap highlights increasing institutional demand for CRO through ETF listings and treasury integrations.

According to today’s announcement, Cronos has already begun executing on this vision, implementing network upgrades that deliver block times ten times faster—0.5 seconds per block—and reduce gas fees by a factor of ten, driving a 400% increase in daily transactions. Looking ahead, the platform aims to have $10 billion in tokenized assets deployed and 20 million users across centralized and decentralized finance by next year.

“Cronos is uniquely positioned with distribution through Crypto.com, liquidity anchored in CRO and a roadmap that ties tokenization and AI into one interoperable system. Building on AWS extends this foundation, giving institutions a secure, scalable pathway to bridge traditional and decentralized finance,” said Mirko Zhao, Head of Cronos Labs.
