Amid the crypto debacle, Crypto.com Coin (CRO) has risen more than 80% in the last seven days and has jumped to thirteenth place in the ranking of the world’s top cryptocurrencies, with a capitalization of about 18,000 millions of dollars.
The main reason is a Crypto.com deal to change the name of the iconic Staples (NASDAQ: SPLS ) Center, the home stadium of the Los Angeles Lakers and WNBA’s Sparks, to “Crypto.com Arena” next December. Specifically, the agreement takes effect on December 25, as reported by Crypto.com.
