Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company behind Truth Social , has now completed a $105 million purchase agreement with popular digital exchange Crypto.com. This development follows the previous announcement of the Trump Media Group CRO Strategy Inc. to build a $6.42 billion CRO treasury. Trump Media Strategic Cronos (CRO) Partnership According to a press release on September 5, Trump Media will acquire 684.4 million CRO at about $0.153 per token. The payment structure is 50% stock and 50% cash, and both the CRO tokens and Trump Media shares received will be subject to a lockup period (i.e., cannot be sold immediately). This tranche represents about 2% of CRO’s circulating supply, separate from an additional 19% of supply that Trump Media Group CRO Strategy, Inc. (a related entity) is set to acquire. Commenting on this deal, Trump Media’s CEO and Chairman, Devin Nunes, has shared much potential of CRO in alignment with the company’s strategic goals. Nunes said: Trump Media is pleased to close this agreement and quickly begin to fulfill our strategic partnership with Crypto.com. We’re convinced that CRO has tremendous potential to spread widely as a versatile utility token and a superior form of safe, fast payment and money transfer, and we’re excited to add this innovative asset to our balance sheet. Notably, the American media company will custody the tokens using Crypto.com Custody, which also allows them to stake CRO for yield (extra revenue). Crypto.com Co-Founder Kris Marszalek shares much optimism on this aspect of the deal, lauding the utility of the CRO token. Marszalek said: This is the first of many steps to driving utility and value for CRO and the Cronos blockchain. We are proud to provide support to Trump Media with our best-in-class custody solution and generate additional value through CRO’s staking model. Meanwhile, the purchase agreement also presents a clause that allows Truth Social to adopt CRO as a pioneering reward system using Crypto.com wallet infrastructure. CRO Price Overview At the time of writing, CRO is trading at $0.26810, down by 0.95% in the past 24 hours, culminating in a 16.42% loss over the week. Alongside this purchase deal with Crypto.com, Truth Social’s parent company unveiled Trump Media Group CRO Strategy, Inc., a new entity set to merge with SPAC Yorkville Acquisition Corp to form a dedicated treasury vehicle focused on acquiring and managing CRO.
Non-farm payrolls increased by just 22,000 jobs in August , far below expectations. June was revised to show job losses, while July improved slightly. Despite the slowdown, the unemployment rate sits at 4.3%, but the broader U6 measure—counting part-time and discouraged workers—is closer to 8% , showing more weakness under the surface. In contrast, the ISM services index , which makes up 72% of the economy, stayed solid. New orders and business activity point to ongoing growth, while rising prices hint that inflation could heat up again. Historically, ISM price trends show up in CPI with a lag of three to four months. For crypto, the mix is complicated. Weaker jobs data could push the Fed toward rate cuts , a potential boost for Bitcoin and other risk assets. At the same time, stronger services and sticky inflation may limit how dovish the Fed can be. This tug-of-war creates uncertainty but also fuels volatility, which often benefits active traders in crypto markets.

The bullish tide that carried Bitcoin and Ethereum to hit new records in August has turned sharply. Even crypto-linked exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which were one of the major reasons behind the market surge, are now witnessing huge inflows. Ether ETFs posted their second-worst day on record and their fifth straight session of outflows. September 5 saw Ether ETFs hitting almost $447 million in net outflows. This comes after posting its biggest outflow of $465 million on August 4. However, Ethereum price has surged by over 15% in the last 30 days. Bitcoin ETFs drop $160M in outflows The sell-off saw crypto funds (both Bitcoin and Ether) lose $607 million in a day. The reversal comes after a blockbuster August, when the same products attracted $3.2 billion combined inflows. However, Ether ETFs had hit $3.87 billion by themselves for the month, and it was BTC ETFs that dragged the momentum with $751 million of outflows. Bitcoin ETFs saw $160 million in outflows on Friday as all twelve listed products failed to post gains. The funds recorded $227.5 million outflow on the previous day. Ark 21Shares’ ARKB led the bleed with $125.5 million of withdrawals, while Fidelity’s FBTC logged $117.5 million in outflows. Only BlackRock’s IBIT managed to attract fresh money with $134.8 million of inflows. BTC price dropped marginally over the last 24 hours to trade around $110,700. Its trading volume remains stable at $49 billion. Bitcoin has seen a rollercoaster ride lately as it gained more than 2% in the last 7 days while dropping about 5% over the past 30 days. Ethereum sheds $400 million Data shows BlackRock’s ETHA led the Ether ETFs’ pullback on September 5, hemorrhaging $309.8 million. The sell-off spread to Grayscale’s ETHE and Fidelity’s FETH with outflows of $51.7 million and $37.7 million, respectively. Ethereum spot ETFs outflow on September 5.

However, the altcoin leader’s price is still up by 68% over the past 60 days. It is trading at an average price of $4,299, down by 13% from its all-time high. Analysts are watching whether the $4,000 level will be retested if sentiment continues to erode. Market sentiment remains balanced as investors are still finding clues.

Respected market analyst Egrag Crypto has delivered another reminder to XRP holders that the journey is only beginning. In a post on X, he shared a candid personal experience that reveals how little the broader public still understands about the cryptocurrency landscape. “Yesterday I was having beer with a couple of old friends… and I was waiting to hear the words like XRP , HBAR, XLM, VET, FIL, DOT, DAG, XDC, VELO, VRA …. And so on, but NADA. NOTHING. Trust me, we are still early,” he wrote. Bitcoin and Ethereum Still Dominate the Conversation Egrag explained that during the gathering, his friends — working across industries such as furniture, IT in education, and FMCG trading — spoke only about Bitcoin and Ethereum . They regretted not buying Bitcoin when it was $300 or $3,000, and one mentioned reading a prediction that Ethereum could climb to $30,000. Yet not a single person mentioned XRP or any other altcoin . As Egrag emphasized, “NADA. NOTHING.” Real story: Yesterday was having beer with couple of old friends and some work in furniture industry, some in the sales of pre-owned cars others in IT in educational services and some in general FMCG trading and non are aware that the new shift is happening and all they care… pic.twitter.com/Kjcl3h0rMK — EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) September 6, 2025 This scenario mirrors what surveys have shown for years: public recognition of crypto remains narrowly focused. Bitcoin is almost universally known, Ethereum is familiar to a smaller but significant group, and most other digital assets, regardless of their institutional use cases or technological promise, rarely enter mainstream conversations. Community Response: Mr. Spock and Egrag Align Egrag’s anecdote sparked discussion across the XRP community. Commenting on the post, fellow analyst Mr. Spock observed: “Most people barely know what SWIFT is. Most people associate crypto with Bitcoin or Ethereum; they’ve often never heard of the other cryptocurrencies, or they seem uninterested because of their ‘low’ prices. Most people won’t ask about XRP & Co. until the prices are too high, because people only value supposedly expensive things.” Egrag immediately supported the point, responding: “100% I totally agree with you.” Their exchange underscores a shared conviction that mass recognition of XRP and other utility-driven assets will only arrive later, when prices have already climbed significantly. We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 Why “We Are Still Early” Rings True Market data strengthens Egrag’s claim. XRP currently trades near $2.80, supported by a market capitalization of more than $160 billion. Despite its size and liquidity, it remains overlooked outside crypto circles. This gap between real-world scale and public awareness suggests there is still ample room for growth — the essence of being “early.” Egrag’s credibility also stems from his consistent technical analysis, where he lays out Fibonacci targets, dominance charts, and structured profit-taking strategies. By blending personal anecdotes with data-driven market insights, he highlights both the sentiment and the strategy that long-term XRP holders should keep in mind. Egrag Crypto’s simple story — a night out with friends where XRP and other major altcoins never entered the discussion — serves as proof of his message: “Trust me, we are still early.” While Bitcoin and Ethereum dominate mainstream chatter, projects like XRP remain largely undiscovered by the wider public. For investors, the takeaway is clear: mass adoption has not yet begun, and the biggest opportunities lie ahead.
