Despite market headwinds and a 6.5% dip in $CRO, the Cronos ecosystem pressed on this week with strategic milestones.
Here are all the can’t-miss updates:
CRO dips by 6.5% in the last 7 days:

While it recovered to $0.10 by mid week, it faced the red again by sunday, and is currently trading at $.094. Several altcoins faced a similar trajectory this week such as DOGE (falling by 8%), Cardano (falling by 5%) and Solana (falling by 4%).
