More multibillion-dollar gaming giants to jump into crypto soon: Immutable co-founder

Players do want real economies in games

According to Ferguson, the penny has finally dropped, and traditional gaming publishers are starting to realize that players actually want in-game real economies. Ferguson says he’s hearing from Web2 executives things like: Hey, we want to spend, and use this as our infrastructure to grow, rather than spending dollars on Facebook or Google ads.

That, to me, is the most compelling sign that we are expanding, Ferguson says.

In April, gaming giant Ubisoft partnered with Immutable to launch Might and Magic: Fates, a blockchain-powered strategy card game.

Magazine is contractually obliged to ask Ferguson the million-dollar questionWhen is the Web3 gaming bull run coming? He says hes more interested in bringing more people into the space.

I dont really care when narratives trade. I think narratives shift incredibly quickly in the space, Ferguson says.

The real opportunity is, how do we bring more people onto the blockchain through something that they find incredibly valuable, but they dont need to learn what a private key is, he adds.

‘Web3 gaming is dead is actually great for the industry, says Axie Infinity founder

The oft-said phrase Web3 gaming is dead may actually be a hidden blessing for the industry, argues Axie Infinity co-founder Jeff Jiho Zirlin.

The proliferation of this logic is very good for the remaining hardcore builders in the space, Zirlin said in an X post on Monday, referring to the Gaming is deddont build in Web3 gaming arguments commonly thrown around the place.

You want attention and capital to concentrate around a few winners, Zirlin said.

Zirlin pointed out that during the last cycle, gaming soared partly because capital didnt have a million different options to scatter into. There was only one option for capital to go into for ~ 90% of the cycle, he said.

This setup is emerging once again, he added. Critics argue that Web3 gaming is dead based on tokens missing out on the bull run, which was a major issue for games that placed tokenomics ahead of actual game design.

Web3 gaming has no token tearing into the stratosphere SEI founder

The area showing the most interest at the moment is Asia, Sei founder Jeff Feng tells Magazine during Token2049 in Singapore.

Feng explains that several factors are likely involved, such as the imbalance between men and women in countries like Korea since men are usually more drawn to gaming as well as fewer job opportunities, which can push people to look for forms of escapism.

Feng added that Web3 gaming isnt especially exciting at the moment because there isnt an associated token thats tearing into the stratosphere.

The sort of beauty of it is, thats why a lot of other chains and ecosystems, like Solana [and] Telegram, theyre actually pulling away from it, theyre spending less time, less investment, because there isnt a clear, sort of obvious token moving, Feng explains.

And thats precisely where the opportunity lies, he says, by taking advantage of zigging when others are zagging.

Parallel Studios pledge to gamers and its 2026 plans

Parallel Studios the team behind the sci-fi trading card game Parallel TCG has pledged to step up for its community as it laid out its plans for the coming year.

Weve heard your feedback loud and clear: consistent, transparent communication is just as important as the games themselves, Parallel said in a recent statement.

To that end, Parallel promised regular updates, clear context, and open town halls to keep players in the loop.

Good communication is especially valued among Web3 gamers. In June, MapleStory Universe executive producer Sunyoung Hwang publicly apologized to the community for not giving it the communication it deserved amid ongoing hacker issues.

Parallel said that Parallel TCG which involves players collecting cards and building decks to battle enemies in strategic battles will have several expansions in the coming months, including the long-awaited global mobile launch on iOS and Android, its upcoming project Haven, alongside a Steam launch.

Other updates on the horizon include QuickPlay, a new game board, improved onboarding, anti-bot protections, and rebalancing of older card supply.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson highlights an overlooked potential in Bitcoin and XRP DeFi during a Token2049 interview.

At the conference in Singapore, Hoskinson spoke with Crypto Banter host Ran Neuner about Cardano’s future, challenges in DeFi, and the untapped opportunity in XRP DeFi.

He acknowledged that Cardano has fallen behind competitors like Solana in the DeFi race, noting that Cardano’s total value locked (TVL) remains under $1 billion and that stablecoin adoption has been weak. However, he emphasized that the market doesn’t price projects based solely on DeFi metrics.

Cardano Founder Identifies XRP $100 Billion DeFi Vacuum

Hoskinson described XRP as a sleeping giant in the DeFi space. Specifically, he pointed out that the asset has over $100 billion in valuation but little to no native yield-generating infrastructure.

“There’s almost $100 billion worth of XRP floating around that’s yield-free. There’s no DeFi ecosystem for it,” Hoskinson said.

He suggested that pairing XRP with real-world assets (RWAs) and yield-generating products could attract a significant portion of that capital into the DeFi ecosystem.

The Cardano founder believes that with proper infrastructure, DeFi on XRP could become a multibillion-dollar ecosystem. Notably, platforms like Flare have begun offering yield opportunities for XRP holders.

Bitcoin DeFi and the UTXO Advantage

Hoskinson also sees massive potential in Bitcoin DeFi, another area he says is vastly undervalued despite Bitcoin’s $2.4 trillion market cap. In his words:

“We actually have a huge native advantage for Bitcoin DeFi because we’re UTXO and Bitcoin is UTXO. You can write Cardano smart contracts that compile and run on Bitcoin.”

He argued that this interoperability could give Cardano an edge in unlocking dormant value across both the Bitcoin and XRP networks.

Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson on the opportunity in Bitcoin & XRP DeFi 📈

“Bitcoin DeFi I think is the biggest play. Cardano’s UTxO lets smart contracts compile and run on Bitcoin.”

“For XRP DeFi, there’s also huge untapped opportunity.”@IOHK_Charles on @crypto_banter pic.twitter.com/2jZkys8mjv

— Cardanians (CRDN) (@Cardanians_io) October 7, 2025

Midnight, Scaling, and What’s Next for Cardano

Furthermore, Hoskinson shared updates on Midnight, Cardano’s data protection-focused sidechain. He noted that Midnight has already attracted over 100 partnerships and integrations, including Brave, Blockchain.com, and Bitcoin.com.

He also highlighted Hydra, a layer-2 scaling solution capable of processing up to a million transactions per second. Meanwhile, he emphasized the need for faster productization.

With Cardano’s on-chain treasury governance now active and $1.5 billion available for community use, Hoskinson said the project is entering a new era of decentralized development.

“The community just approved the first budget. We still have over 200 engineers working in and around the Cardano ecosystem,” he said.

Essentially, while Cardano missed the last DeFi wave, Hoskinson is now focusing on the untapped potential in Bitcoin and XRP DeFi. These two networks have significant capital but little yield infrastructure.

Solana price has shown signs of weakening after breaking its pattern of higher lows. Can surging DApp revenue provide the fuel to revive its bullish momentum?

Solana (SOL) price has recently broken a pattern of higher lows, marking the first notable weakening of the bullish trend that had been intact since mid-June. The lower low, formed around the $190 area on the daily chart, suggests that buyers lost control of short-term price action, allowing sellers to push the market to the diagonal support zone marked by the ascending trendline.

However, Solana price remains within its broader ascending channel, and the recent test of the lower boundary suggests that buyers are defending the longer-term uptrend. The fact that this same area previously acted as resistance in late May adds confluence, strengthening its role as support and further supporting the continuation of the broader bullish trend.

Looking ahead, Solana price is likely targeting the top of the ascending channel, which currently aligns with the $250–$255 range. This upper boundary has previously acted as dynamic resistance throughout the trend and could serve as a near-term target if momentum continues to build.

What’s driving Solana price?

While Solana price has shown signs of a weakening uptrend by breaking its pattern of higher lows, underlying fundamentals remain bullish.

In September, Solana-based DApps generated over $141 million in revenue, surpassing the 30-day revenue totals of all other L1s and L2s during the same period. The majority of this revenue came from Pump.fun, which accounted for nearly $68 million, followed by Axiom at approximately $34 million.

Solana is also seeing notable adoption among public companies that are adding SOL to their treasuries. As of early October, more than 13.4 million SOL — roughly 2.46% of the circulating supply — is held by publicly disclosed corporate entities, according to CoinGecko’s Solana Treasuries tracker. The largest holder is Forward Industries, which currently holds approximately 6.82 million SOL. Other names on the list include DeFi Development Corp., Upexi, Sharps Technology, Sol Strategies, BIT Mining, Exodus Movement, Torrent Capital, and Lion Group.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Oct. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A new era of Web3 gaming begins with the official start of Blocknite’s community sale of the Manite ($NITE) token on Solana. Blocknite is a fun and accessible idle-RPG where players can create their own Treanin armies, fight against the Orgurin, and earn real rewards by staying active in the game. Joining the community sale gives early participants the chance to buy $NITE at the lowest entry price and be among the first to take part in thrilling Web3 gameplay.

Exploring Blocknite

Blocknite is a casual idle-RPG on Solana, where players command an army of Treanin champions to repel the Orgurin horde. Playing Blocknite starts with using $NITE tokens to take part in the game world. You can spend them to create Mana Stones in the Arcane Forge, summon Treanin heroes in the Mana Nexus, or trade items in the marketplace.

There are three options to start in Blocknite: Modest, Superior, or Exquisite Soul Stone, from the cheapest to the most expensive. The higher the tier, the better the chances of summoning a rare or powerful Treanin hero, giving players a stronger start in the game.

Each Treanin is a unique Solana-based NFT and belongs to one of four factions, Swift, Healthy, Mighty, or Wise. Creating a Soul Stone at the Forge brings a new Treanin into the game, and the tier you choose decides how strong and rare your hero will be.

With your army ready, you send Treanin into battles against the Orgurin. You select a fighter, pick an opponent, and fight for rewards. Victories give you $NITE and experience, while defeats still help your hero grow by earning experience points.

Energy is restored every eight hours, so the game fits naturally into a daily routine. As Treanin level up, they look stronger, earn more tokens, and gain more value in the marketplace. The loop is simple: play, earn, forge your heroes, and keep moving forward.

The game will gradually expand to include boss battles, co-op PvE, and farming modes, which will further increase $NITE’s use cases.

Powered by Solana, Blocknite delivers fast, low-cost transactions, perfectly optimized for high-volume idle gameplay and NFT interactions.

Blocknite’s smart contracts have undergone third-party audits. DDoS protection plus real-time monitoring ensure robust safety measures.

Ecosystem Economy and Tokenomics

Manite ($NITE) is built entirely around community allocation:

• 1.43 billion total supply, with ~70% of the supply (1 billion tokens) available through gameplay.
• 250,000,000 tokens (17.4%) will be distributed through the Blocknite presale.
• 100,000,000 tokens (7%) will be locked with SOL in a Raydium LP.
• 25,000,000 tokens (1.75%) of the supply is to be distributed to the community through the referral scheme & airdrops.

This decentralized model underpins Blocknite’s transparency and focus on the community. You can learn more about Blocknite’s tokenomics & the mechanics of the game in depth by reading the documentation.

Early Bird Benefits

Early participation means lower entry costs, privileged access to some of the most valuable NFTs, and the ability to build your digital army from day one. Later rounds will see prices increase — getting in early means maximum value.

Furthermore, early token holders get first access at Treanin NFTs, crafting Mana Stones, and unlocking new game features as Blocknite evolves.

How to Participate

Getting started with Blocknite’s community sale is simple. Players only need to connect a Solana wallet through the Blocknite app and purchase $NITE at the exclusive community launch price. After the presale ends, $NITE will be available for purchase and trading on Solana-based decentralized exchanges like Raydium.

Once acquired, these tokens can immediately be used to synthesize Mana Stones at the Arcane Forge, summon Treanin heroes through the Mana Nexus, or trade on the in-game marketplace. From there, the adventure begins: every eight hours, battles against the Orgurin bring new rewards and chances to develop a stronger and more effective army.

Join the Blocknite community sale today and be part of the next wave of Web3 idle-RPG gaming.

Shardeum, the India-first Layer 1 blockchain project announced the launch of its EVM-compatible testnet as part of its mission to build the Dapp ecosystem in India.  The network integrates widely used Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) infrastructure, giving developers immediate compatibility, while Shardeum continues building its proprietary autoscaling EVM for long-term global adoption.

The launch underscores Shardeum’s vision of creating a decentralized network that is affordable, accessible, and designed for the scale of India’s digital economy. Today, India counts more than 50 million crypto exchange users, yet only a fraction actively transact on-chain. With crypto adoption worldwide crossing 500 million, Shardeum believes India represents the single largest untapped on-chain opportunity.

Founded by Nischal Shetty, who has built and scaled WazirX into India’s largest crypto exchange builds on his experience of scaling platforms that introduced millions of Indians to. Having witnessed first-hand both the opportunities and challenges of Web3 adoption in India, Shetty’s focus now is on creating infrastructure that can serve users at massive scale.

“Shardeum is being built with a simple but ambitious goal: to take decentralization to the masses, and build the Dapp ecosystem in India. We want to ensure every Indian can participate in the open and decentralized financial network that is growing across the world and Indian devs can create successful Dapps for this ecosystem.The is the first step to make that possible.”

In parallel with the testnet, Shardeum is preparing a redenomination of its native SHM token, changing supply from 250 million to 60 billion. Every holder will see balances multiplied 240x without dilution. The change is aimed at making SHM more divisible and user-friendly.

Shardeum aims to help Indian developers to create successful Dapps. India should have its own Dapps ecosystem with products tailored for Indian users. We’re inviting budding developers and entrepreneurs across the country to join us in building the Dapp ecosystem in India.

Pi Coin remains under intense selling pressure despite a broader market recovery that has pushed Bitcoin to fresh all-time highs.

The altcoin has been unable to follow the market’s bullish momentum, continuing its slide even as new developments roll out across the Pi Network ecosystem.

As of press time, Pi Coin trades around $0.26, reflecting a 24% drop over the past month, according to data from BeInCrypto.

The decline underscores a widening gap between Pi’s performance and that of major digital assets.

While most altcoins have rallied alongside Bitcoin, Pi has moved in the opposite direction. This suggests that network-specific factors, rather than overall market sentiment, are driving the digital asset’s current market downturn.

A key contributor is the surge in Pi tokens held on centralized exchanges (CEXs). Data from Piscan shows exchange reserves recently exceeded 445 million PI, up from 420 million in early September.

This sharp rise indicates that more holders are transferring tokens to trading platforms, often a precursor to increased selling activity.

Adding to the strain, more than 110 million PI tokens are due for release in October as part of the network’s unlock schedule.

The upcoming supply expansion, combined with elevated exchange reserves, increases potential downward pressure, limiting any near-term rebound.

While short-term sentiment remains bearish, Pi Network is making visible progress on its technology roadmap.

The team recently launched several new testnet features, including a decentralized exchange (DEX) and an automated market maker (AMM) integrated directly into the Pi Wallet.

These tools let users experiment with token swaps, liquidity pools, and DeFi mechanisms in a controlled test environment without exposing mainnet assets to risk.

According to the development team, the goal is to prepare users for the eventual mainnet transition. The new tools allow direct peer-to-peer trades within the wallet, giving users more control over their assets.

By doing so, Pi aims to reduce reliance on centralized exchanges, which have often proved to be points of failure in the crypto industry.

Beyond the DEX, Pi has introduced token creation capabilities on its testnet.

This update allows developers to issue tokens, build applications, and launch marketplaces directly within the Pi ecosystem. It mirrors how Ethereum’s ERC-20 framework spurred that blockchain network’s early growth.

Pioneers are optimistic that such products could mark a turning point for Pi Network’s ecosystem strategy. They argue that the project’s focus on infrastructure, decentralization, and developer participation reflects an attempt to establish lasting value beyond speculative trading.

So, in the long run, PI’s success will not depend on short-term price action but on whether these innovations translate into sustainable utility.

The crypto market continues to show its dual nature in 2025. Established blockchains like Ethereum remain central, while new crypto presale projects open doors to alternative opportunities.

Among these, Based Eggman is gaining attention as one of the best crypto presales, combining meme culture with Web3 gaming and streaming. Its $GGs token expands the role of presale crypto coins beyond speculation, offering use cases in liquidity, payment, and entertainment.

This balance between Ethereum’s established trajectory and new crypto presales highlights the range of opportunities now available. Investors searching the crypto presale list for the best presale crypto tokens often weigh both tradition and innovation.

$GGs and the Based Eggman Ecosystem in Crypto Presales

GGs is the central meme token in the Based Eggman ecosystem and has become one of the most discussed cryptocurrency presales in 2025. It is designed with multiple utilities, functioning in liquidity pools, payments, gaming rewards, minting, and even smart contract gas fees. This places it among the best crypto presales because it moves beyond being just a presale coin.

In online gaming culture, “GGs” means “good games,” a universal phrase of sportsmanship. This cultural familiarity helps the project connect with both traditional gamers and Web3 participants. 

Through Eggman, GGs is integrated into a wider social-gaming platform built on Base and expanding to other blockchains.

The presale has raised $230,062.95 so far, with over 30 million tokens sold at a price of $0.008692 each. This traction highlights how pre sale crypto offerings can generate momentum when they combine cultural resonance with usable features. By merging memes, games, and decentralized mechanics, Based Eggman stands apart from many crypto pre sales that rely purely on hype.

Ethereum’s Bullish Momentum and Institutional Support

Ethereum continues to play a critical role in the crypto landscape, especially in decentralized finance. In recent months, its price action has shown renewed strength, with ETH briefly surpassing the $4,500 mark. Analysts now look toward key resistance levels at $4,600 and $4,740 as potential markers for future performance.

This upward momentum is supported by whale activity, with large holders continuing to accumulate ETH. Their buying has helped drive confidence in Ethereum’s market structure. Another important factor is institutional demand. The approval of spot Ethereum ETFs by the SEC in July 2024 brought a surge of inflows into the market.

Together, these drivers reinforce Ethereum’s role as a strong Web3 platform. While not part of new crypto presale projects, Ethereum remains a foundational force.
