5 Hot Gaming Tokens With Long-Term Growth Prospects

Blockchain News

The magic of GameFi has enormous potential, because after all, what gamer wouldn’t enjoy being paid for doing the very thing they love most? We only need to look at the success of eSports to see the truth in that. GameFi expands the concept beyond the very best, professional gamers, giving everyone the opportunity to “play-and-earn”, and the growing popularity of some of these games is attracting serious attention from crypto investors. 

Let’s take a look at some of the hottest crypto gaming topics to watch as we head into 2025, focusing on games that boast fast-growing user bases and have lots of plans in store for the months ahead. 

ALICE

My Neighbor Alice is a metaverse game that introduces non-crypto natives to the concept of creating virtual worlds they fully own while collaborating with its thriving community of like-minded souls. It’s all about making blockchain features more accessible to a wider audience who might be unfamiliar with concepts like non-fungible tokens through social activities like beekeeping, collecting insects, farming, fishing and building. 

ALICE has made some big gains in the last 30 days, with its value increasing 27.74% to $1.43, boosting the token’s market cap to $97.87 million, underscoring the high demand and huge potential for a token that’s only just beginning to make its presence felt. 

In a recent Coingecko event, My Neighbor Alice’s business director Antonio Palma revealed that the project has big ambitions heading into 2025, with plans to revamp its token economy, introduce one-click onboarding on any device, and forge partnerships with key players in the blockchain gaming space – moves that should all help to boost the game’s user base and increase demand for ALICE tokens. 

MAVIA

Heroes of Mavia is a fantasy-based mobile-first strategy game built on the Ronin Layer-2 network atop of Ethereum, where players can buy or conquer virtual land, develop it, build castles and towns, create armies and battle their opponents in an effort to grow their virtual empire. 

It’s another fast-growing, low market cap game that has seen steady growth over the last month. MAVIA, its native token, is currently valued at $1.59, having gained 9.12% in that time, and there is huge room for further growth. Its market cap currently stands at just $61.57 million, up 17.84% in the last month, which suggests that interest in the game is rising fast. It also boasts a strong community, with more than 600,000 followers on Discord and an extremely active social media presence. 

The developers recently introduced a new Hero, called Warlord, to aid players in setting up their defenses and planning strategic attacks on their rivals. According to Heroes of Mavia’s official X account, the introduction of Warlord promises to “shake up the meta” for ranked battles. 

HMSTR

As the top tap-to-earn game on the TON blockchain, Hamster Kombat captured the imagination earlier this year, growing its enthusiastic audience of Telegram tappers to over 300 million since launching earlier this year. The simple, addictive nature of its tap-tap-tap game mechanic has made it one of the hottest properties in the Web3 gaming world, and the price of HMSTER continues to reflect that. 

HMSTER is up 20.35% in the last month to $0.004068 per coin and still has a relatively low market cap of $262.18 million. More importantly, it boasts a daily average trading volume of $96.59 million, which suggests that the game remains a hotbed of economic activity.

GMEE

As a mobile gaming platform, GAMEE offers a library of several play-to-earn games that enable players to own their in-game assets within a common universe. It’s most popular title, WatBird, has emerged as one of the most popular games on Telegram, exceeding 3 million daily active users. 

With more than 100 million registered users and 10 million connected wallets, GAMEE claims to have successfully onboarded thousands of newcomers to the Web3 world, and it has high hopes of accelerating this trend with several hot new titles set to launch on its platform in the coming year. The GMEE token is currently valued at $0.0112, up 7.93% in the last month. While that may lag the pace of growth seen in other popular tokens, GMEE still has an extremely low market cap of just $15.15 million, which singles the platform out as one that has lots of untapped potential. 

PIXEL

The PIXEL token is the native governance token of Pixels, a play-to-earn game inspired by Minecraft and hosted on the Ronin Layer-2 network. It’s another metaverse-style game that sees players buy and sell virtual land plots where they can build unique structures and landscapes, explore, battle other players and collaborate on activities such as crafting or playing minigames. 

PIXEL is one of the fastest-growing tokens in the Web3 gaming universe, up 39.09% in the last month and it has grown its market cap to a healthy $271.83 million, which is higher than many other blockchain games. Even so, with a daily average trading volume of $102.43 million, it shows that a good portion of those tokens are in circulation, indicative of a red-hot in-game economy.
