Cronos has announced a strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to advance blockchain‑based tokenization and real‑world asset (RWA) adoption, marking a significant milestone in the push to bring institutional players deeper into decentralized finance.
The collaboration focuses on giving developers and enterprises secure, scalable access to blockchain data through AWS Public Blockchain Data, alongside financial incentives designed to fuel innovation.
Under the agreement, developers building on Cronos can tap into AWS infrastructure to streamline workflows, enhance analytics, and deploy AI‑driven financial tools.
Select projects will also be eligible for up to $100,000 in AWS credits, supporting early‑stage initiatives in tokenization platforms, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, and AI‑powered applications.
By pairing AWS’s security and compliance frameworks with Cronos’s blockchain technology, the partnership seeks to deliver institutional‑grade solutions that meet the rigorous demands of regulators and financial markets.
The collaboration arrives just weeks after Cronos unveiled its 2025–2026 roadmap, which emphasizes positioning itself as the go‑to platform for tokenization. That strategy includes the development of a dedicated tokenization infrastructure for equities, commodities, real estate, insurance, and other RWAs.
Cronos also aims to expand its DeFi ecosystem through Crypto.com, targeting over 150 million users, while driving greater demand for its native CRO token via ETF listings and treasury integrations.
Network improvements have already laid the groundwork for this vision. Cronos has introduced upgrades that slash block times to just 0.5 seconds and reduce gas fees by tenfold, contributing to a 400 % jump in daily transaction activity.
Looking ahead, the platform projects ambitious growth, with a target of $10 billion in tokenized assets and 20 million users across centralized and decentralized finance by 2026.
“Cronos is uniquely positioned with distribution through Crypto.com, liquidity anchored in CRO, and a roadmap that ties tokenization and AI into one interoperable system,” said Mirko Zhao, Head of Cronos Labs. “Building on AWS extends this foundation, giving institutions a secure, scalable…”
