What is Crypto.com

Crypto.com is a cryptocurrency exchange platform that supports investing, staking, and more. On the exchange, users can trade BTC, ETH, CRO, SOL, SHIB, DOT and more. Its exchange app is available on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

What Crypto.com Chain?

Crypto.com Chain is one of its products. It is an open-source, permissionless blockchain. The Chain is a completely decentralised network with minimal fees and high speed. It’s designed to promote the global adoption of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology and to increase users’ personal control of money.

The Crypto.com Chain primarily serves to power the Crypto.com Pay mobile payments app. Through the Chain, users can complete transactions, including sending, receiving, and staking tokens. Users can also cast votes on proposals aimed at improving the Chain.

What is CRO? 

Crypto.com Coin (CRO) is the native crypto token of its chain. According to CoinMarketCap, CRO’s current market rank is #15. CRO owners can stake their tokens on its chain and validate transactions on the blockchain. In return for validating transactions, validators earn fees.

The total supply of CRO tokens is limited to 30 billion coins (after 70 billion CRO were burned in 2021). All of the tokens were created when the blockchain went live, meaning it is a non-mineable cryptocurrency.

What is a Crypto.com Visa Card?

The Crypto.com Visa Card is a prepaid card that needs to be topped up using bank account transfers, a credit/debit card, or cryptocurrency. To apply for a Visa Card, you’ll need to first stake CRO tokens for a period of 180 days.

To do so, create a Crypto.com App account, complete the verification process, and purchase CRO tokens. The amount of CRO you’ll need to stake will depend on the card tier you wish to apply for. Go to ‘Card’ in the app, select your chosen Crypto.com Visa Card, click ‘Stake CRO', and follow the instructions.

Card rewards will be paid in CRO and deposited into your Crypto.com Crypto Wallet.

Fees vary depending on your card tier, so be sure to check these before applying for a card.

Tiers: 

  • Obsidian: stake $400,000 USD to receive 8% CRO Rewards
  • Frosted Rose Gold & Icy White: stake $40,000 USD to receive 5% CRO Rewards
  • Royal Indigo & Jade Green: stake $4000 USD to receive 3% CRO Rewards
  • Ruby Steel: stake $400 USD to receive 2% CRO Rewards
  • Midnight Blue: stake $0 USD and receive 1% CRO Rewards

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
