Cronos (CRO) price jumps after partnering with Amazon AWS

Crypto.com (CRO) price went parabolic on Wednesday after the developers announced a new partnership with Amazon AWS. Cronos token jumped to a high of $0.076, the highest point since March 2. In all, the coin has jumped by more than 21% from the lowest level in March.

Cronos AWS partnership

One of the biggest cryptocurrency news was that Cronos had inked a partnership with Amazon AWS. The partnership will see Cronos Labs use AWS Activate, a product that helps startups and early-stage companies succeed in the cloud. Companies in the Cronos Accelerator Program will also leverage this partnership.

Cronos hopes that this partnership will help it compete better with other leading blockchains like Ethereum, Avalanche and Solana. Participants in the accelerator program will go through a 12-week program while selected firms will receive a grant worth about $30,000 in seed funding. 

AWS is a big deal since it is the biggest cloud platform in the world. It currently powers most of the biggest companies in the world, including Airbnb, Meta Platforms, Adobe, and Salesforce. The statement added:

“Through this collaboration, startups will benefit from the scalability, security, and flexibility of AWS’s cloud infrastructure, allowing them to build and deploy their blockchain-based applications quickly and efficiently.”

Cronos is facing numerous challenges, with the biggest one being the rising competition. According to DeFi Llama, the total value locked (TVL) in the ecosystem has dropped from an all-time high of $4.5 billion to just $479 million. It has been overtaken by the likes of Kava, Optimism, and Arbitrum.
