Crypto.com has entered a strategic collaboration with financial data provider Benzinga to integrate comprehensive U.S. equities intelligence into its platform. Announced on January 2, 2026, the partnership will provide Crypto.com users with access to several of Benzinga's market data APIs, including IPO Calendar, Earnings Calendar, Analyst Ratings Calendar, Government Trades API, Insider Trades API, and Company Logos.
The integration aims to deliver timely, actionable insights to support more informed decision-making for retail investors trading U.S. stocks. According to Andrew Lebbos, SVP of Data Licensing at Benzinga, "As retail participation continues to grow across both asset classes, access to high-quality, contextual data becomes even more critical." Alan Wood, Head of US Equities at Crypto.com, stated the move is part of the platform's aggressive focus on equipping traders with necessary tools to capitalize on market opportunities.
This development follows closely on the heels of Crypto.com's partnership with Trump Media, the publicly traded communications company associated with former President Donald Trump. That collaboration involves distributing a new blockchain-based token to holders of DJT stock, based on their share holdings. The tokens will not represent ownership interest in Trump Media or any other entity. This move represents Trump Media's continued exploration into crypto tokenomics, which previously included discussions about acquiring Crypto.com's native CRO token and launching a multi-billion-dollar Bitcoin treasury.
The market has responded positively to these developments, with Cronos (CRO) price extending its weekly rally to more than 7% over two days. At the time of reporting, CRO was trading at $0.0947, up 4% over 24 hours, with intraday lows and highs of $0.0910 and $0.09493 respectively. Trading volume decreased by 35% in the last 24 hours, but total CRO futures open interest jumped 2% to $20.38 million, indicating shifting sentiment in the derivatives market.
Analyst Lucky noted that CRO price has revisited its July low and predicted a potential setup for reaching $0.03 in the coming weeks or months, with $0.01 identified as a key resistance level. DJT stock closed more than 5.33% higher at $13.24 following the Trump Media partnership announcement and was trading nearly 1% higher at the time of reporting.
