Canary Capital Group LLC has filed a registration statement, Form S-1, with the United States SEC. The crypto base proposal is for the country’s first spot CRO exchange-traded fund intended to follow the performance of Cronos’ native token.
The filing represents an important step in the merger between crypto assets and conventional financial markets. The proposed fund would allow U.S. investors to directly access the price movements of CRO through traditional brokerage platforms.
Canary Capital wants to provide a way that’s accessible for both retail and institutional investors to experience the Cronos blockchain ecosystem, which is in alignment with the increasing investor interest in crypto investment vehicles that are compliant with U.S. securities law.
Crypto.com, a major player in the digital asset space, has been appointed to handle custody and liquidity responsibilities. Eric Anziani, the firm’s President and COO, emphasized this development as an essential bridge between cryptocurrency and conventional investing avenues.
This partnership further deepens the collaboration between Canary Capital and Crypto.com, following the earlier launch of their private Canary CRO Trust.

The Canary CRO Trust was designed specifically for accredited investors who wanted to get early exposure to CRO through a safe investment vehicle. It was an inaugural step toward broader retail accessibility, which is now being pursued via the proposed ETF structure.
The public offering is still subject to SEC review, and the registration statement has not yet become effective. An investor should carefully consider all the relevant risks, fees, and expenses before thinking about buying into the fund.
The S-1 filing includes all the comprehensive disclosures a prospective investor would need. It helps them understand the nature of the investment and its potential volatility. As a matter of law, no transaction may occur until there is full approval of the registration.
Established in 2016, Crypto.com supports over 140 million users worldwide and stands out in digital asset regulation. The company focuses on promoting broad cryptocurrency use while prioritizing security and compliance in various markets.
With this ETF project, Canary Capital and Crypto.com seek to provide secure access to the rapidly changing digital finance landscape.
