NMR, TRE, and CRO Are Stealing the Spotlight Right Now – What Could Be the Next Crypto to Explode?
Let’s talk about the winners of the past couple of days. Numeraire (NMR) has shown significant momentum in recent days. Launched in 2017, the AI-driven token surged more than 150% within 48 hours, breaking multi-week resistance levels and recording high trading activity across major exchanges. At press time, NMR is up 43% in 24 hours, trading at $21.36 and reversing months of weakness. While still down 33% year-to-date, it has gained 37% in the past week, placing it among the strongest performers.
The sharp rise in NMR followed news that JPMorgan Asset Management invested in its decentralized hedge fund, securing $500 million in capacity.

Alongside NMR, CRO has also drawn attention. Trump Media & Technology Group confirmed a $105 million purchase of CRO tokens through a new partnership with Crypto.com. This treasury-style investment pushed CRO up 56% in the past 24 hours with $2 billion in trading volume, although the token remains 50% below its previous all-time high.
Meanwhile, Upbit, South Korea’s largest crypto exchange, has listed Treehouse (TREE) with KRW, BTC, and USDT pairs. Treehouse is a decentralized fixed income protocol introducing tAssets, yield-optimized staking tokens, and Decentralized Offered Rates (DOR), a benchmark system unifying on-chain interest rates. The TREE token powers governance, staking, and rewards.
TREE crypto is currently up 45%, trading at $0.45, but still 28% below the $0.65 peak reached after the listing announcement.

Chainlink Partners with U.S. Department of Commerce to Bring Government Macroeconomic Data On-Chain
Chainlink LINK ▲2.89% has announced a groundbreaking partnership with the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) to bring official U.S. macroeconomic data on-chain. Through this collaboration, key datasets from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)—including real GDP, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, and real final sales to domestic private purchasers—will now be securely accessible across blockchain ecosystems.
The data will be updated monthly or quarterly, depending on the release schedule, and will initially launch on ten blockchains: Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Botanix, Ethereum, Linea, Mantle, Optimism, Sonic, and ZKsync. By bridging trusted government data with decentralized infrastructure, Chainlink is enabling developers and institutions to build new forms of on-chain applications, ranging from automated trading strategies to tokenized financial products and transparent dashboards.

This initiative represents a major step in connecting traditional government institutions with blockchain markets. Reliable economic indicators such as GDP growth or inflation trends can now be integrated directly into DeFi protocols, prediction markets, and risk management tools, adding a new layer of transparency and security to digital finance.
The move also underscores Chainlink’s growing role as the industry-standard oracle network. With over 2,400 integrations across DeFi and traditional finance, including collaborations with institutions like Swift and Fidelity, Chainlink continues to expand its influence as critical infrastructure for blockchain adoption.
By making BEA data available on-chain, Chainlink and the DOC are paving the way for greater trust, compliance, and innovation at the intersection of government and Web3.
