Good to know

• Blockchain gaming investments are set to pass $380 million in 2025.
• Anichess CHECK token pre-sale drew $3.4 million in pledges, five times its goal.
• Gigaverse by GLHF secured $2.3 million to expand its gaming features.

Among the standout stories is Gigaverse by GLHF, which recently secured $2.3 million to expand its ecosystem with new features and content. The investment underscores how niche gaming platforms are attracting meaningful backing to accelerate their development.

Another project drawing plenty of attention is Anichess, which launched a pre-sale for its CHECK token on the Kaito token launchpad. While the team set a modest target of $700,000, demand quickly overwhelmed expectations. Investors pledged over $3.4 million, nearly five times the initial goal, showing clear enthusiasm for the project.

“The keen interest in the CHECK token, priced at a fully diluted value of $35 million, resulted in over $3.4 million of pledges,” the launchpad report explained, emphasizing the strength of community support.

The CHECK token is central to the Anichess vision. It will power in-game purchases, deliver player rewards, and support governance within the Checkmate ecosystem. This integration of tokens into everyday gameplay continues a broader trend across blockchain gaming — creating ecosystems where players not only enjoy interactive experiences but also share in the value created.
