Epic Chain, backed by Ripple, is taking a bold step into the future of finance with the launch of its XRP-native RWA tokenization platform. With Ripple’s support and XRP’s efficiency at its core, Epic Chain could lead the next wave of adoption, where trillions in real-world assets move seamlessly on-chain.

Ripple Backs New Real-World Assets Platform

In a release, Epic Chain is positioning itself at the center of the real-world assets (RWAs) tokenization wave, building an XRP-native platform to bring real estate, credit, commodities, and collectibles onto the blockchain. With the global RWA market estimated at over $50 trillion, Epic Chain’s positioning could be transformational.

Epic is currently valued at a modest $60 million FDV, and it trades on Binance, Bybit, and Kucoin, with further listings anticipated. Operating in over 150 countries, the project targets more than 100 million traders and is connected to over a million bank accounts, and has launched a $1 million adoption and liquidity program to drive global growth.

According to Route 2 FI, initially launched as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, Epic is now migrating to an EVM-compatible XRP Ledger sidechain, unlocking native liquidity and tighter integration with XRP infrastructure. This pivot strengthens settlement speed, scalability, and ensures Epic Chain remains aligned with Ripple’s long-term vision of enterprise-grade blockchain adoption.    

One of the rare small-cap token survivors of multiple crypto market cycles, EPIC has transformed from a collectibles marketplace into a layer-2 RWA solution. Its integration with Ripple USD (RLUSD) allows native USD settlement, which is a critical feature for institutional yields, treasury management, and cross-border payments.

The Epic Chain pushes adoption through its “Epic One” VISA crypto card, offering up to 8% XRP cashback with no daily limits, spendable in over 180 countries. Meanwhile, its collectibles platform Fanable continues to attract thousands of users through licensed IP deals. 

Epic Chain’s positioning at the intersection of RWA tokenization and XRP integration gives it strong potential despite the risk from its history of pivots and XRP’s slower corporate pace. For both retail adopters and institutional markets, Epic could serve as a gateway into the XRP economy.

XRP Ledger As Backbone For Next-Gen Real Estate Finance

Amid this bold move, the XRP Ledger is set to enable the tokenization of $228 trillion in institutional real estate to be brought on-chain through the XRP Ledger Asset Program on August 18th. According to the RealFI post on X, this breakthrough allows assets traditionally managed off-chain to be brought on-chain via the REAL Token, which signals a transformative shift in the global real estate market toward blockchain adoption.

Furthermore, RealFi’s solution empowers organizations of all sizes to issue Real Estate Tokens directly on the XRP Ledger. By leveraging blockchain technology, RealFi ensures ultra-low transaction fees, fast settlement, and seamless integration with the XRP ecosystem.

Gracy Chen, the rare but glorious woman behind Bitget’s epic growth https://earlybirdsinvest.com/gracy-chen-the-rare-but-glorious-woman-behind-bitgets-epic-growth/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/gracy-chen-the-rare-but-glorious-woman-behind-bitgets-epic-growth/#respond Sun, 22 Jun 2025 20:28:05 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/gracy-chen-the-rare-but-glorious-woman-behind-bitgets-epic-growth/

Welcome to Slate Sundays, CryptoSlate’s weekly feature showcasing in-depth interviews, expert analysis, and thought-provoking op-eds that go beyond the headlines to explore the ideas and voices shaping the future of crypto.

Gracy Chen leaves quite an impression. As the only female CEO among the top 10 crypto exchanges, she’s well aware of the challenges facing women leaders, and she’s determined to use her feminine wiles to her advantage. Yet, unlike some of her counterparts who yank up the step ladder on their way up, Gracy lifts as she climbs—half of Bitget’s management team is female. As she jokes:

“That’s like finding a Bitcoin wallet that didn’t get lost in a boating accident—rare, but glorious.”

Bursting into the Bitget for UNICEF press conference in Dubai, in a bright blue UNICEF cap, her charisma lights up the room. There are two male representatives from UNICEF Luxembourg present, but their innovation lead, Sunita Grote, is unable to attend. Her travel plans have been disrupted by rising regional tensions. “You don’t often get men covering for women,” Gracy laughs, with a wicked glint in her eye.

Gracy’s humor is a powerful weapon in her arsenal, and she uses it often to put people at ease, along with a showstopping smile and killer intellect. Underestimate her at your peril. With an MBA from MIT with a GMAT score in the top 1% of the country, Gracy’s as sharp as a razor.

Under her leadership, she’s taken Bitget out of relative obscurity to become a leading exchange with the largest copy trading platform and 120 million users globally.

“My goal is to bring Bitget to a higher level, to acquire more users, and to build stronger partnerships,” she says.

Gracy Chen is a master in basic autonomy and a Michelin-starred chef

If Gracy’s chosen career path is rare, her background is equally unconventional, growing up in Southwest China with a strong female role model. She shares:

“I was so inspired by my mom, who was a single mother, but also an MBA. Because she was so busy with her work and study, at nine years old, I was basically a Michelin-starred chef already. If a Michelin star means boiling instant noodles without burning the house down.”

She smiles:

“My childhood was very much like a mini MBA, where MBA stands for Master of Basic Autonomy. Lesson one: if you want noodles, you better learn to cook them yourself.”

While her mother didn’t pass on her culinary skills, she did take Gracy to a lot of restaurants, and, having studied at the best university in the region, she imparted three valuable lessons:

“One: independence. Two: going after what you want. Three: how essential it is to get an education.”

Research has shown that educating women and girls is key to improving communities, Gracy explains, and even to increasing a country’s GDP. “That’s why I was so excited to partner with UNICEF and join the Game Changers’ Coalition,” she enthuses.

Gracy’s rewriting the rules of inclusion in web3

The Game Changers’ Coalition seeks to advance digital education and gender equality by empowering women and girls in blockchain and web3. Together with UNICEF, Bitget will provide scholarships, mentorship, and educational programs to 300,000 participants across eight developing countries, including Morocco, India, and Cambodia, with a long-term goal of reaching 1.1 million people across 12 countries by 2027.

The initiative emphasizes building foundational skills, supporting girls as creators in the digital economy, and developing a global support network. With such lofty goals, Bitget isn’t doing things by half, but then, I rather doubt that Gracy would put her name on anything less.

“We know that women are underrepresented in our crypto community, but we want to rewrite the rules of inclusion in web3. The Game Changers’ Coalition is our next step in doing that. If we want to have true equality, it’s essential that all these women are given opportunities to learn about this new and paradigm-shifting technology. “

This isn’t Gracy’s first foray into mentoring and supporting women. Bitget launched its Blockchain4her initiative, spearheaded by Gracy, in January 2024, which focuses on “elevating, empowering, educating, and embracing” women and preparing them to take leadership roles. Among its inspiring ambassadors are Gracy’s good friend, Solana President Lily Liu, and Lighting Labs’ founder and CEO, Elizabeth Stark.

If they can do it, you can do it: Why changing perceptions is key

I tell Gracy about a fact I heard that women CEOs typically have to go through a lot more postings than their male counterparts, and that women in blockchain come up against additional barriers, such as widespread misogyny and stereotyping. On more than one occasion at a conference or side event, I’ve been mistaken for the lady serving drinks.

Of course, educating women is a solid initiative, I say, but when barriers like this exist, how else do we go about changing these lingering perceptions? She sits for a moment in quiet thought before answering:

“That’s definitely one of the goals of Blockchain4her. It’s about building female role models and changing people’s perspectives. We have a long line of female ambassadors… We want to set up these examples for females to know that you can be one of them… if they can do it, you can do it.”

She continues:

“The other thing about changing the mindset is, I actually say this a lot in various panels, especially when I’m in a panel with five different gentlemen talking about stablecoins or regulations, or exchanges, or business, et cetera. People ask me a lot: You’re a female CEO. How do you balance work and life? I’m like, why don’t you ask them? They also have a family. Why don’t you ask them how to balance work and life? Things like that about mindset changing are what we want to work toward.”

Are there ever times when Gracy feels she’s taken less seriously as a female CEO or her opinion given less weight?

“There might be cases where I’m not taken seriously, and in those cases, I don’t really care. I’ll just prove myself and do the right thing for me and the company. Also, there are certain other cases, especially in terms of marketing, where being a woman became a leverage, and an advantage.”

She gives the example of a recent feature in Coindesk’s top 50 most influential women in web3 and AI, among the likes of Cathie Wood and Cynthia Lummis. She shrugs:

“It just gives me more marketing opportunities. That’s what I mean by saying being a woman in this industry is both a blessing and a curse.”

Beyond the Arctic and Antarctica: Bitget’s quest for global growth

Gracy started at Bitget in 2022 as Managing Director and was promoted to CEO in May 2024. I ask what vision she brought to Bitget and what her objectives were coming on as CEO:

“My vision, and also part of the founding team’s and higher executive team’s vision, was to bring the 2022 version of Bitget to a more global platform.”

As a China-born exchange, Gracy was one of the “very few” executives who spoke fluent English, and her role as Managing Director was to elevate the Bitget brand image and influence globally. She affirms:

“Today, we are indeed a global exchange. We serve more than 100 countries. Our own employees come from more than 42 different countries, and passport holders, and we have teams on every single continent other than the Arctic and Antarctica.”

She unlocks her phone and holds it up. “Here,” she says, “I can just quickly show you.” I’m looking at a screen with the clock faces of multiple destinations. She says:

“I literally have Los Angeles all the way covered to Auckland in New Zealand. So I need to know where everyone is and if I need to have a meeting with them, what’s their time zone, what’s my time zone? Things like that are a good way of looking at how global we are.”

This is the first time I’ve come across a CEO or founder who gave a flying hoot about what time they called their employees, or who didn’t outsource this task to their EAs. Looks, brains, wit, and respect for her fellow humans. I think I’m developing a little crush. She continues:

“Now, am I satisfied with all the results? Are we global enough? I think there are still ways to work and to improve.”

A case-by-case basis to better serve institutional clients

Beyond onboarding international users and employees, a sizable chunk of Bitget’s growth this year is driven by institutions. Gracy says:

“I’m in conversations with lots of market makers, VCs, some tokenized money market funds, and all the various institutional partnerships we’re building. Today, we are more focused on the institutional side because we were lagging in terms of institutional clients, maybe before last year.”

If Bitget was lagging in the institutional race, the exchange has quickly caught up: 80% of  Bitget’s spot volume now comes from this group, and 80% of crypto quant firms are using Bitget to trade. What attracts them to the platform specifically, and how does this influence the company’s approach?

“This afternoon, actually, I need to meet local regulators to talk about us getting different licenses. Dubai is one region. Actually, it’s not just Dubai, it’s also Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, different countries and jurisdictions we’re looking at to have conversations or we’ve had some conversations.”

She says that Bitget has modified its strategy to accommodate institutional clients in several ways, but “compliance is definitely one of them.” Bitget is also rolling out continuous updates and tooling, such as unified trading accounts, to make institutional clients feel at home.

“Institutional clients need more dashboards. They need higher, faster lines. Otherwise, they just don’t want to join you. Unified trading accounts is a new product we are launching in order to better serve our institutional VIP clients.”

Since no two clients’ needs are equal, Bitget takes its institutional approach on a case-by-case basis. Gracy explains:

“Even if they are all market makers, they have different preferences. Some want this, some want that. So what we do is just like running a restaurant, we give them a menu and they can choose this and that.”

She smiles as she returns to a restaurant analogy, a business she appears to understand well and thinks fondly of from her days boiling noodles and shadowing the footsteps of her superhero mom. I want to ask if that’s where Gracy would be if she hadn’t fallen down the crypto rabbithole, but I know she doesn’t have much time, and we move on swiftly instead.

Regulation, market cycles, and ballooning M2 supply

With a change of guard in Washington and a groundswell of support for crypto, we turn the conversation stateside. Crypto businesses have been frozen out of Fortress America for far too long, but with the largest economy in the world still leagues ahead of China and a crypto adoption rate around 28%, does Bitget plan to pursue this lucrative market now? Gracy pauses and measures her response.

“We have given a lot of thought to serving the U.S. jurisdiction, maybe starting with a certain group of users. But so far, we haven’t decided whether we will enter the U.S. market. I don’t see that coming soon. Even if the U.S. is becoming more crypto-friendly, passing the stablecoin bill… regulations around exchanges are still kind of cooking, and we can’t make any decision based on assumption or speculation.”

And what are Gracy’s thoughts on the market today? With Bitcoin grinding slowly up, then trading sideways, and altcoins notably trailing, are we in a bull or a bear? For that matter, are we even in a traditional cycle, or does Gracy subscribe to the supercycle thesis?

“My personal opinion is that we don’t have the four-year bull-bear market anymore. We are in a supercycle, and this supercycle is largely driven by macroeconomic factors, including M2 supply, like quantitative easing, and different fiscal and monetary policies around the world, especially in the U.S., Europe, and China.”

With U.S. M2 supply maintaining its firm trajectory of up and to the right, I guess that means Gracy expects Bitcoin’s price to substantially rise. She nods her head:

“In my opinion, you know, $100K, today’s Bitcoin price, is still a good purchase price or entry price for those who don’t have any Bitcoin. I think we are in a supercycle. But supercycle for Bitcoin doesn’t mean supercycle for altcoins.”

Beyond Ethereum, Solana, and “maybe some other coins,” Gracy says it’s not as easy as it used to be to raise capital and build a project that attracts and retains a meaningful user base.

“The very small coins are seeing lots of problems right now, especially the older projects that have been listed on many exchanges, but the project team is not doing very well… Today, it’s much harder because you really need to build an appropriate product and have lots of users. And I think that is a healthier way of people entering this industry.”

Looking ahead: What’s coming up on Bitget’s horizon?

Beyond engaging with regulators and growing its international and institutional base, what else is in the pipeline for Bitget?

“We’re not just building an exchange,” Gracy insists, “we’re more interested in how to serve our users better. What are their needs in terms of trading? What are their needs in terms of daily activities? So we’re embedding a lot around PayFi.”

PayFi is Bitget Wallet’s blockchain-based initiative to simplify crypto and real-world payments and financing by integrating DeFi and real-world assets (RWAs). Gracy explains:

“What we see right now is, all the global credit card networks have almost a 3% to 6% cost per transaction that is taken from merchandise and from the retail users, and sometimes it takes three to four days to just settle a global transaction. So lots of efficiency, and money, and time can be saved in those transactions by stablecoins and PayFi.”

She’s quick to add that Bitget will, “of course,” follow all the necessary procedures, including Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC), and Know Your Business (KYB). She adds:

“Another thing we are working hard on is AI; how to have AI bots and using AI to streamline some of our services to detect fraud, or to serve our users for efficiencies, those sorts of things. So, AI and PayFi are some of the businesses that we are more interested in.”

Gracy has to meet with another journalist before her afternoon appointments, but she’s not too busy to insist on a photo with me in front of Lionel Messi’s signed football shirt with the Bitget logo embossed on the front.

I wonder if this type of interaction comes naturally to Gracy or whether she’s had to work at it; and, for that matter, whether she’s had to work at it twice as hard as a man. She replies:

“Being a woman is who I am and what I was born with. I don’t really care what people think of me. It’s more about what’s the right thing and how to bring this company forward.”

Epic Games sues Fortnite cheat developer for selling wallhack and auto-aim tools https://earlybirdsinvest.com/epic-games-sues-fortnite-cheat-developer-for-selling-wallhack-and-auto-aim-tools/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/epic-games-sues-fortnite-cheat-developer-for-selling-wallhack-and-auto-aim-tools/#respond Fri, 13 Jun 2025 17:45:15 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/epic-games-sues-fortnite-cheat-developer-for-selling-wallhack-and-auto-aim-tools/

Editor’s take: Multiplayer gaming is about fair fights, not shortcuts. But cheaters keep buying their wins, ruining it for everyone else. Epic Games is cracking down hard because cheating isn’t just unfair – it’s a threat to the whole game. Sorry, losers. Cheating doesn’t pay.

Epic Games recently announced a new lawsuit targeting developers of Fortnite cheating tools. The company is going after an individual who created software that lets players see through walls and use auto-aim. Epic shared the update on its ongoing battle via X, emphasizing that creating and distributing cheats violates the game’s terms of service and must be stopped.

Epic filed the lawsuit in its home state of North Carolina against Ediz Atas. Known online as “Sincey Cheats” and “Vanta Cheats,” Atas has developed, maintained, and sold Fortnite cheating software since January 2023. Epic said his products gave players an unfair advantage and breached Fortnite’s end-user license agreement. Epic is seeking damages from Atas and his partners, along with attorney’s fees and other legal costs.

The company claims that the cheating software bypasses its anti-cheat system and undermines Fortnite’s long-term business. Honest players forced to compete against cheaters are more likely to stop playing and buying in-game content, causing damages and losses to the company.

Atas went to extreme lengths to profit from his cheating business. He even tried to block Epic’s efforts to remove videos promoting the software, posing as an Epic representative in emails to YouTube in an attempt to reverse DMCA takedown requests. According to the lawsuit, his actions forced Epic to issue tens of thousands of Fortnite bans since 2022 – over 15,000 of them in the US alone.

Atas didn’t act alone. According to the lawsuit, at least five partners helped manage the business, selling Sincey Cheats and Vanta Cheats software to Fortnite players through various websites and encrypted messaging platforms like Discord and Telegram.

Epic has recently intensified its legal fight against Fortnite cheaters, pursuing not just software developers but also esports players caught using cheats. The company has forced some players to publicly apologize and return prize money, sending a clear message: cheaters don’t get paid – at least not when Epic is involved.

Crypto Analyst Predicts ‘Really Epic’ Next Few Months for Bitcoin, Sees Vertical Phase Coming for BTC https://earlybirdsinvest.com/crypto-analyst-predicts-really-epic-next-few-months-for-bitcoin-sees-vertical-phase-coming-for-btc/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/crypto-analyst-predicts-really-epic-next-few-months-for-bitcoin-sees-vertical-phase-coming-for-btc/#respond Wed, 11 Jun 2025 09:18:56 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/crypto-analyst-predicts-really-epic-next-few-months-for-bitcoin-sees-vertical-phase-coming-for-btc/

An analyst known for making timely Bitcoin calls believes that BTC is poised to witness steep rallies in the coming months.

In a new video, trader Kevin Svenson tells his 83,200 YouTube followers that Bitcoin appears to be in the final stages of a parabolic trend that began in 2023.

According to Svenson, Bitcoin could ignite a fresh leg up once it takes out its final resistance area at around $110,000.

“It’s going to be a really epic next few months if we do get this breakout, because we are still following the parabolic trend to this day.”

Svenson believes that a breakout will trigger a “blow-off top” for Bitcoin, where BTC will experience a period of rapid price increases before collapsing.

“The next phase is the vertical phase, where you go into a potential blow-off top. A parabola is simply just an exponential trend and it gets steeper and steeper. And because of that, by definition, the parabolic trend it’s unsustainable… 

It’s a trade-off: it gets really, really bullish, and because of that, it’s unsustainable. Eventually, the trend just gives out just like Bitcoin in 2017, 2021. Eventually, the trend will shift back…

But this next push could be until October.”

Looking at the trader’s chart, he seems to predict that BTC will soar to $135,000 in the coming months. At time of writing, Bitcoin is worth $110,085.

Hope for Altcoins? Analysts Predict Epic Finale to This Bull Cycle https://earlybirdsinvest.com/hope-for-altcoins-analysts-predict-epic-finale-to-this-bull-cycle/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/hope-for-altcoins-analysts-predict-epic-finale-to-this-bull-cycle/#respond Mon, 02 Jun 2025 11:24:58 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/hope-for-altcoins-analysts-predict-epic-finale-to-this-bull-cycle/

A lot of market dynamics witnessed in past bull cycles have played out differently in this one. One of them is the on-chain patterns and trends that precede altcoin seasons, which refer to periods when alternative cryptocurrencies outperform bitcoin (BTC).

While traders are skeptical that the market will witness an altseason before this cycle is over, analysts at the on-chain data intelligence platform CryptoQuant believe that all hope is not yet lost. Investors still stand a chance to make profits with altcoins in this cycle.

Not Time to Lose Hope

In previous cycles, BTC rallies were preceded by a steady decrease in the proportion of mid-to-long-term holding volumes. With new capital flowing into the market at the time, altcoins eventually surged towards the end of those cycles. However, the opposite has been the case this time; mid-to-long-term holding volumes have surged each time BTC rallies to new highs.

According to pseudonymous analyst Crypto Dan, the price movement of altcoins in this cycle has tallied with that of BTC. Bitcoin has constantly faced corrections after small gains in this cycle, and during those dips, altcoins have also suffered significant declines, indicating overall weakness.

The current bull cycle is nearing its final stages, and at this phase, it is almost impossible for investors to make profits with altcoins. However, since altcoin rallies have corresponded with BTC surges, Dan insists there is still hope.

When Altseason?

Bitcoin is yet to experience its final leg for this cycle, which means the asset’s dominance is likely to decrease. If the market plays out as Dan predicts, then altcoins may experience higher rallies than seen in previous patterns when bitcoin’s dominance plummets, marking the end of the cycle. Hence, all indicators point to bitcoin’s next upward move, which could occur at any moment from now.

“It’s not time to abandon hope just yet. Since we’re already in the latter half of the cycle, it’s worth waiting for Bitcoin’s next upward move,” Dan stated.

It is worth mentioning that Dan is not the only analyst who believes altcoins still stand a chance. CryptoPotato reported that many other traders and analysts believe this altseason will be epic, making the rally seen in 2021 seem tiny.

However, some have warned that not all tokens will go up during the altcoin season. Only a few chosen assets will record significant gains as they attract new liquidity.

Bitcoin Just Got a $711M Glow-Up: 3 Trends Fueling BTC’s Epic Price Rally https://earlybirdsinvest.com/bitcoin-just-got-a-711m-glow-up-3-trends-fueling-btcs-epic-price-rally/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/bitcoin-just-got-a-711m-glow-up-3-trends-fueling-btcs-epic-price-rally/#respond Tue, 25 Mar 2025 03:39:33 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/bitcoin-just-got-a-711m-glow-up-3-trends-fueling-btcs-epic-price-rally/ Bitcoin (BTC) stands today at $87,458, driven by a robust 24-hour trading volume exceeding $34.5 billion. Rising nearly 2% within the last day, BTC maintains its dominant market position, boasting a total market capitalization close to $1.74 trillion.

With nearly 19.84 million BTC circulating from its limited supply of 21 million, investor enthusiasm is evident.

On the technical front, the recent symmetrical triangle breakout on Bitcoin’s 4-hour chart signals strong bullish sentiment.

Breaking decisively above the critical pivot point of $86,462, BTC surged toward a significant resistance level at $89,024.

This rally marks a critical turning point, although BTC has now entered a mild corrective phase, illustrating natural short-term profit-taking.

The key level to watch closely is $86,400, as holding this support could catalyze another bullish upswing toward resistances of $90,750 and $92,800.

  • Bullish breakout triggered at pivot $86,462.
  • Current correction at resistance $89,024.
  • Crucial support at $86,400 for bullish continuity.

Saylor’s $711 Million Bitcoin Bet

Michael Saylor, the co-founder of Strategy, is ready to bolster BTC investments after successfully raising approximately $711 million through a new preferred share issuance priced at $85 each.

A provocative hint via his X account—captioned “needs more orange”—suggests a sizeable BTC acquisition may be imminent.

This follows Strategy’s recent Bitcoin purchase of 130 BTC for $10.7 million, boosting their total holdings to 499,226 BTC. Saylor remains bullish, suggesting the U.S. government could own as much as 25% of Bitcoin by 2035.

Historically, Saylor’s moves have significantly impacted market confidence, attracting institutional attention and potentially driving BTC prices higher amid current macroeconomic volatility.

U.S. Dollar’s Decline Boosts Bitcoin Appeal

Renowned economist Peter Schiff recently warned of a possible collapse of the U.S. dollar, citing America’s dependency on foreign production and persistent trade deficits. Schiff argues this unsustainable scenario could severely weaken dollar value, forcing a challenging economic shift toward increased domestic production and savings.

Schiff’s cautionary stance could inadvertently bolster Bitcoin’s status as a safe-haven asset, potentially driving demand amid rising fears of dollar instability. Historically, weakening confidence in fiat currencies has correlated with increased adoption of Bitcoin, emphasizing its value preservation attributes.

El Salvador Fuels BTC Innovation with AI Program

El Salvador continues to cement its reputation as a tech-friendly, crypto-forward nation, with Cathie Wood, founder of Ark Invest, inaugurating the new CUBO AI education initiative.

This public program aims to empower professionals and students with artificial intelligence skills, building on El Salvador’s successful Bitcoin and Lightning Network developer courses.

This strategic emphasis on technology is attracting global investment, underscoring President Nayib Bukele’s ambitions to significantly enhance El Salvador’s GDP.

The nation’s persistent focus on innovation reinforces Bitcoin’s long-term bullish prospects, positioning it attractively for future institutional investors.

BTC Bull: Earn Bitcoin Rewards with the Hottest Crypto Presale

BTC Bull ($BTCBULL) is making waves as a community-driven token that automatically rewards holders with real Bitcoin when BTC hits key price milestones. Unlike traditional meme tokens, BTCBULL is built for long-term investors, offering real incentives through airdropped BTC rewards and staking opportunities.

Staking & Passive Income Opportunities

BTC Bull offers a high-yield staking program with an impressive 119% APY, allowing users to generate passive income. The staking pool has already attracted 882.5 million BTCBULL tokens, highlighting strong community participation.

Latest Presale Updates:

OverTrip Arrives on the Epic Games Store: A New Era of Competitive Battle Royale https://earlybirdsinvest.com/overtrip-arrives-on-the-epic-games-store-a-new-era-of-competitive-battle-royale/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/overtrip-arrives-on-the-epic-games-store-a-new-era-of-competitive-battle-royale/#respond Sun, 23 Feb 2025 13:11:30 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/overtrip-arrives-on-the-epic-games-store-a-new-era-of-competitive-battle-royale/

OverTrip is a name that some players might not be instantly familiar with, but if you’re on the lookout for something truly different in the online gaming world, this might be the experience you’ve been waiting for. It’s a multi-chain project that puts a fresh spin on the battle royale genre, blending well-known shooter mechanics with features that go far beyond the norm. Consider this a bold new frontier in competitive gaming, especially if you’re bored of the same old setups.

A Free-to-Play Title on the Epic Games Store

To start playing, you can find this free-to-play title available on the Epic Games Store, which makes it easy for anyone curious enough to jump in. The game invites players to immerse themselves in an intense flagship battle royale mode, where they’ll face off until only the top survivors remain. Unlike so many shooters out there, this particular game adds an unusual twist: a chance to wager real money on how well you’ll perform. Yes, that’s right—you can actually put a small sum down and see if your skills earn you a reward.

Skill Mode and Real Money Wagering Elements

One of the standout features of OverTrip is Skill Mode. This unique setup lets you wager real money on your odds of finishing in the top three. It’s not for the faint of heart, but it certainly adds a layer of excitement that breaks any sense of monotonous gameplay you might fear. Skill Mode appears throughout the experience, keeping players on their toes and pushing them to improve their strategies. In addition, you’ll encounter meme coins woven into the game’s ecosystem, giving the project its own offbeat flair.

The developers have introduced real money-wagering elements that influence the tension and thrill of every match. Because of these features, the game earned an “Adults Only” rating, which makes sense when you consider the stakes. Beyond that, the team’s token launching strategy involved a Solana token known as TRIP, which players can use to sell skins in game and trade with others. Over time, they plan on securing exchange listings for these digital assets, providing further transparency and stability for players.

Private Lobbies and Customizable Wager Terms

Not everyone wants to jump into public matches. To address this, the developers included private lobbies where groups of friends can set their own customizable wager terms. You might put down just a few cents, or go for something more daring. This level of flexibility helps keep the community engaged. The game rewards involvement through numerous schemes that distribute trip tokens, reflecting the careful thought put into creating a balanced in-game economy.

The Role of the Trippy Terminal and Small Airdrop Allocations

Players who participated in past gaming project airdrop campaigns might have received trip tokens through the trippy terminal, a system that auto created a wallet for them. This surprise distribution gave some early adopters a taste of the digital assets at the heart of the economy. However, not everyone was thrilled. Some recipients complained about small airdrop allocations, and the game’s discord became a hotspot for debate, with players calling for a fairer token’s distribution and more open communication from the team.

Evolving the In-Game Content Season by Season

Since launch, the developers have introduced a new in game content season, rolling out fresh features, maps, and balance adjustments. Over time, they intend to refine Skill Mode and adjust how meme coins and trip tokens are managed, ideally creating a more stable economy. By blending familiar gaming concepts with community-driven involvement, OverTrip on Epic Games aims to redefine what a battle royale can be.

Building Trust on the Epic Games Store

For those skeptical, the platform’s integration with the Epic Games Store adds credibility. We’ve all witnessed games that crash hard and vanish, but this team claims they’re in it for the long run. While there’s no guarantee that everyone will love the idea of wagering, the concept encourages players to sharpen their approach, try new tactics, and find clever ways to outsmart the competition.

A Unique Twist on Battle Royale

In the end, this isn’t just another clone. By combining Skill Mode, private lobbies, customizable wager terms, and the use of meme coins, OverTrip sets itself apart. Add in the token launching on Solana, the solana token trip integration, and the distribution of trip tokens through numerous schemes, and you have a truly distinctive blend. It’s easy to pick up from the Epic Games Store, and the multi chain project’s long-term vision promises more changes down the line.

For anyone seeking something fresh, exciting, and just a bit daring, OverTrip on Epic Games might be well worth a shot. You might find that blending a battle royale with real money-wagering elements is exactly what the gaming world needs to push its boundaries forward.
