Crypto.com faces backlash for reissuing 70 billion Cronos (CRO) tokens that were previously burned in 2021, leading to accusations that it is no different from a scam.
ZachXBT, a prominent blockchain investigator, criticized the move and argued that it contradicted the initial promise of a 'permanent' burn.
Crypto.com CEO defended the reissuance, stating that the initial burn was a defensive move and that the company now needed an aggressive approach to foster growth.
The reissuance has raised concerns about centralized control and transparency, as Crypto.com's validators hold significant voting power on the blockchain.
