GCash, the leading finance app in the Philippines, has teamed up with the super popular NFT game called Axie Infinity. This partnership is all about making it easier for players to buy and sell special tokens called AXS and SLP using GCash’s mobile wallet app.
What’s the Big Deal?
So, here’s the deal. With this collaboration, Filipino gamers who love playing Axie Infinity can now transfer their cryptocurrency from the game to GCash. And get this, they can even convert their in-game money into real Philippine pesos using the same app! Plus, GCash is also working with other games like Pixels to make it super easy for players to convert their game currencies too. How convenient!
Why the Philippines?
Did you know that the Philippines is a major hub for Axie Infinity and other Web3 games? It’s true! Filipinos have shown the most interest in Web3 gaming worldwide for the past three years. That’s pretty impressive, right? However, sometimes strict rules about cryptocurrency can make it a bit tricky for these early adopters.
Who’s Playing?
Believe it or not, the majority of players in Axie Infinity and Pixels are actually Filipinos. They make up about 50 percent of all the players! That’s why the Philippines has become the biggest place for these games, with over 170,000 people playing every day. Talk about a gaming craze!
Making it Safe and Secure
GCash and Axie Infinity want to make sure that everyone’s gaming experience is safe and secure. They follow all the strict rules and regulations to keep things in check. Luis Buenaventura, the head of GCrypto at GCash, said that their mission is to make blockchain technology more accessible to everyone while keeping their users’ safety as the top priority.
Okay, now let’s get to the fun part. If you want to buy or sell AXS and SLP coins using GCrypto, here’s what you need to do:
