This Week in Crypto Games: Solana Game Pass, 'Ponzi' Games Pop, SEC and CyberKongz
The crypto gaming sector is rapidly evolving, with new game releases and token airdrops. A free Solana Game Pass NFT mint launched on Magic Eden to enhance the Solana gaming ecosystem, featuring 30 partnered games and a prize pool exceeding $10,000. Over 33,000 passes have been minted, with future seasons promising improved features. The crypto game Bigcoin gained popularity before its token crashed 83%, leading players to embrace its "Ponzinomics" model. This attracted crypto traders seeking transparent alternatives to traditional gaming models. Similar games like Minereum have since gained brief attention. The SEC concluded its investigation into the CyberKongz NFT project without enforcement actions, marking a victory for the team after facing allegations regarding its BANANA token. This follows the closure of investigations into other NFT projects like Yuga Labs and OpenSea.
