The NFT space has been blowing up recently, with NFT sales topping $1 Billion in the last week of August. However, there is one segment of the ever-dynamic crypto market outpacing even NFTs: Play-to-Earn Crypto Games.
Simply put, play-to-earn games reward players with tokenized assets for adding value to the game world. By simply playing the game, users earn tokens that can be traded on the open market for real money or other crypto assets like Ethereum and Bitcoin.
Playing this type of game often requires the player to acquire an NFT character beforehand, as well as the time investment needed to play the game and earn the tokens.
A different strategy is to acquire game tokens and HODL them while the game’s players increase the value for you. This type of passive investment can deliver massive gains if you’re in early. If you’d have bought $1,000 worth of $AXS when it first launched, you’d have around $520,000 worth today. That’s an increase of 51,900%.
The key here is to be early with games that have a lower market cap and are on the rise of popularity. However, there is always one major difficulty when trying to find that gem … Which one will blow up and go to the moon?
This is where this revolutionary new ETF comes into play. Instead of trying to find that one winner, just get yourself some ETF tokens that offer cheap and easy instant diversification into this emerging sector.
By HODLing a single token that might not deliver the returns you hoped for, you increase your risk enormously. However, if you HODL a basket of them, just one of them has to moon, and it doesn’t matter what the others do.
