CRO traded 2.61% lower at $0.231 and rose 12.33% on a seven-day trailing basis. Hong Kong-based Crypto.com’s CEO Kris Marszalek said on Thursday that Coinbase Global Inc’s COIN market debut is under his scrutiny as it provides a “reference point for Crypto.com’s own valuation as the first publicly traded comparable,” reported CoinDesk. The executive claimed that Coinbase has nearly five times  more users than Crypto.com and it is looking to “largely close this gap in the next 18-24 months.” In February Crypto.com said it would destroy 70 billion of its CRO tokens which it said was an important step to fully “decentralize its network.”
