Trump Media & Technology Group today announced that users of Truth Social and Truth+ platforms can convert their “gems” rewards into Cronos token, abandoning earlier plans to launch a proprietary digital asset.

The change allows users to exchange activity-based reward points, called gems, directly into the established Cronos token rather than a platform-specific crypto asset that was previously under consideration, according to a company press release.

The move represents a strategic shift for the Trump-backed social media platforms, which had sparked speculation about potentially introducing their own digital token. By adopting an existing crypto asset, the platforms provide users with a more immediate path to monetize their engagement rewards.
