Is Cronos and ERC-20 the same?
Native CRO and ERC20 CRO are different crypto assets, although sharing the same token name, symbol, and fiat value (1 native CRO = 1 ERC20 CRO), please ensure you understand the differences and confirm with your recipient or receiving wallet when you're transacting CRO.
At this time, Coinbase only supports CRO as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. Attempting to send CRO to Coinbase via the CRONOS chain will result in a loss of funds.

CRO is the native token of the Cronos blockchain. Although CRO was originally developed as an ERC-20 token (meaning that it was built using the Ethereum network), Crypto.com Chain has recently announced the launch of its own public, open-source blockchain.
It currently supports CRO transfers between the Crypto.org Chain and Cronos, as well as ATOM transfers between Cosmos and Cronos. Cross-chain bridging between Ethereum and Cronos will be launched soon, and it will support ERC20 tokens like ETH, WBTC, USDT, and DAT. You can learn more about Cronos Bridge here.
Cronos is the first blockchain network that interoperates with both the Ethereum and Cosmos ecosystems, supporting DeFi, NFTs, and the metaverse.
Now, any user with an ERC-20 wallet can transact with Crypto.com Pay merchants.
