# Cronos Digital Currency Value Soars 15% Amid Hearsay of Planned Crypto Stockpile Addition
Crypto.com’s CRO digital token rose more than 15% on Thursday because of market conjecture that the digital token will be added to President Trump’s planned digital currency stockpile.
Cronos (CRO), the inherent digital token of the Cronos Chain, saw a 15.8% rise on Thursday, boosted by hearsay of its likely addition in the planned digital currency stockpile newly declared by former US President Donald Trump. According to crypto.news value tracking, CRO’s value climbed to $0.09 on March 6th, with trading volume rising by almost 100%.
The rise followed a post on X by Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett, who stated that Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek “will be present at the White House digital currency summit on Friday,” without naming a source. Marszalek joins an expanding list of digital currency managers attending the event, including Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov.
Despite the conjecture, CRO has not been formally verified as part of the national digital currency stockpile. However, Trump’s previous statements propose that US authorities may add multiple digital tokens, as he indicated that the planned digital currency stockpile would include “other valuable cryptocurrencies” in addition to Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). While initial expectations focused on Bitcoin as the single asset in the stockpile, Trump’s comments broadened the scope of likely additions.
