GameFi’s 2025 Resurgence: Here Comes The Beam

Hello!

Welcome to the week-end review. Over the past couple of days, crypto has dumped, with billions being eradicated from the market. Bitcoin has dropped below the $100,000 psychological level and alts have been slaughtered. Has the market trend reversed from bullish to bearish? Or is it just a momentary correction? For that we will have to wait and see.

Let’s take a look at what else has been going on in the market.

1️⃣ Fed Spooks The Market

One of the main reasons why the market crashed this week is because of the comments made by Fed Chair Jerome Powell. During a press conference, Powell stated that the Fed is not allowed to own bitcoin and has no plans to push for legal changes to enable it, leaving such decisions to Congress. His comments came while addressing the idea of a government-led Strategic Bitcoin Reserve under President-elect Donald Trump.

2️⃣ GameFi Resurgence In 2025?

We are all sleeping on the GameFi sector. 2025 could see gameFi roaring back thanks to the crypto bull market and ongoing advancements in gaming technology. 

Historically, GameFi has closely followed altcoin trends, experiencing explosive growth during bull runs as investor capital floods into the sector. 

As the crypto market regains momentum, it is safe to assume that the GameFi sector currently is severely undervalued. Keep in mind that GameFi has massively evolved and moved beyond the basic play-to-earn models of 2021. With graphics and gameplay now rivaling mainstream titles, coupled with cutting-edge blockchain integration, GameFi is more appealing than ever to a wider audience. 

For all intents and purposes, GameFi might just be an overlooked sleeping giant.

But, which projects should we focus on? Beam - for one -  has quietly garnered a huge following thanks to their commitment to innovation and user experience. Beam, created by Merit Circle, is a blockchain focused on gaming. It supports a growing ecosystem of applications, investments, and infrastructure, all aimed at shaping the future of gaming.

This past week, Beam has taken the next step by launching the Beam Node Token Mint. Here is why this matters - Beam already has $420M in assets backing the network and a potential $100M distribution to node delegators.

At $1,250 per node, >25,000 have already been sold. Week 1 sale goes on until 24th December. During this time:

• Price of each node = $1,250

• Payment could be done in - $BEAM, $USDC, $ETH, or $AVAX

After week 1, the price of each node will jump up to $3,750 and payment will be done in $BEAM only.

These nodes will be transferable after the Horizon upgrade in Q1, meaning you can sell them on the secondary market. 

With treasury assets providing a solid floor value, Beam Nodes offer a high chance of 3x returns in the short term, making them a serious contender for anyone looking to get in on the GameFi sector.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity. Secure your Beam Node today before the price triples and position yourself for a potential 3x return.
