Cronos integrates Morpho to boost DeFi lending and tokenization

2025/10/03 02:06

Cronos will collaborate with Crypto.com and onchain lending platform Morpho to expand decentralized finance and asset tokenization on the Cronos blockchain.

Summary
  • Cronos, Morpho and Crypto.com plan to collaborate on an initiative aimed at bolstering DeFi on the Cronos chain.
  • The partnership will also explore tokenization.
  • Native Cronos token CRO rose amid the news, initially spiking by more than 13% to above $0.22.

Cronos Labs announced the partnership on Oct. 2, noting in a press release that Crypto.com and Morpho will help boost its blockchain ecosystem as a platform for capital-efficient lending and borrowing. The integration will go beyond expanding the decentralized finance lending. The platforms target tokenization.

Why else is the Cronos and Morpho partnership key?

The initiative also aims at scaling Cronos (CRO) as a platform for DeFi for millions of users around the world, with Morpho (MORPHO) expanding its onchain lending infrastructure beyond Ethereum.

As part of the integration, Morpho will expand its vaults into Crypto.com’s product offering.

The platforms also plan to add stablecoin lending markets,  which will be backed by various wrapped assets that include Crypto.com wrapped Bitcoin and Crypto.com wrapped Ethereum. CDCBTC and CDCETH are tokenized Bitcoin and Ethereum that allow holders to participate in DeFi across other blockchain networks.

Support for Morpho Vaults on Crypto.com

The integration will also see Crypto.com integrate Morpho into its app and exchange platforms, bringing Morpho’s lending markets to more users within the CRO ecosystem.

Crypto.com also plans to explore the integration of wrapped real-world assets as collateral within Morpho’s vaults. 

According to Ketat Sarakune, head of yield and asset growth at Crypto.com, launching Morpho vaults on Crypto.com will bring advanced DeFi lending opportunities to millions of users globally. The markets will tap into features such as network speed, scalability and low costs.

CRO was one of the top gaining tokens amid the news as price surged more than 13% from lows of $0.20 to above $0.22. The token traded around $0.21 at the time of writing.

Bitwise CEO Sees Solana Edge in ETF Race Over Ethereum

The post Bitwise CEO Sees Solana Edge in ETF Race Over Ethereum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitwise CEO says Solana’s shorter unstaking period favors ETF issuers over Ethereum. SEC will decide on multiple Solana and Ethereum ETF applications in October. SOL trades above $222 with a potential breakout to $300. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley said Solana could gain an advantage over Ethereum in the race to launch staking exchange-traded funds, citing its faster unstaking process. His comments come as the U.S. SEC prepares to decide on several ETF applications this month. Bitwise CEO Highlights Solana’s ETF Advantage Speaking at Token2049 in Singapore, Horsley mentioned that Solana’s shorter unstaking period makes it easier for ETF issuers to meet redemption requests. Ethereum’s withdrawal queue, by comparison, has grown significantly, creating long delays for investors. “It’s a huge problem,” Horsley said, stressing that ETFs must be capable of returning assets within a very short period. Related: Solana Price Prediction: SOL Price Consolidates Within Rising Channel Liquidity Challenge for Ethereum ETFs On-chain data shows Ethereum’s staking system currently faces an average entry wait of about three days and an exit queue of roughly 34 days, with more than 2 million tokens awaiting withdrawal.  However, Solana’s exit period is much faster, which Horsley argues makes it more suitable for regulated funds that require quick liquidity. Ethereum-based products have worked around this issue through credit facilities and liquid staking tokens such as stETH. Yet, Horsley noted these options add costs and face capacity constraints. SEC ETF Decisions This October The SEC is reviewing ETF applications from major asset managers, including Bitwise, Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, and VanEck.  Decisions on Ethereum staking ETFs have already been delayed until late October, while Solana ETF proposals are also awaiting review. The ongoing U.S. government shutdown has raised concerns about further delays in approvals. Horsley’s comments come as institutional interest in Solana continues to grow. Multiple…
