Since the beginning of 2025, the platform token sector of the crypto industry has entered a phase of deep differentiation. Traditional leading platform tokens are experiencing weak overall growth due to limited ecological expansion and exhausted narrative space; on the other hand, emerging platform tokens with asset security boundaries and continuous innovation capabilities are becoming the core incremental factor in the structural market of the 2025 bull market.
The platform token WBS of the crypto asset trading platform Websea has achieved a leap forward in this round of structural reassessment. Since the beginning of the year, WBS has seen a cumulative increase of over 300%, far exceeding the average increase of mainstream platform tokens, making it one of the most outstanding star assets in the crypto asset market in 2025.
WBS's increase leads the platform token sector, strongly crossing the industry’s weak cycle
High-quality platform tokens once built foundational use cases through 'transaction fee discounts', becoming the core driving force of exchange traffic and revenue. However, as we entered the era of stock competition, users of coins like BNB, OKB, and BGB have become saturated, with weakened ecological innovation momentum and a significant slowdown in overall growth.
According to public data, WBS has risen since the beginning of the year, starting from the $0.36 range and breaking through $1.47 in July, reaching a new high for the year, with a cumulative increase of 300%, significantly outpacing similar assets like BNB, OKB, HT, and GT. This round of increase is not coincidental and is not purely driven by market conditions. What WBS represents is the rise of a new value paradigm for platform tokens.
Ecosystem-driven growth, WBS has stepped out of the old narrative of 'exchange transaction fee deductions'
Unlike the traditional platform token model that 'relies on transaction fee discounts to drive demand', WBS has been dedicated to constructing a 'product-user-asset' three-in-one ecological closed loop since its inception, providing users with unprecedented freedom and sense of participation, becoming the core value carrier in the Websea ecosystem. On February 27, 2025, the native tokens of two popular chain games, Metamatch and Metakiller, were officially integrated into WGP (Websea Game Points), and a real-time exchange channel with WBS was fully opened, with an exchange ratio of 100:1. In the first quarter of 2025, the consumption of WGP reached 200 million tokens, fully demonstrating WBS's strong support and actual circulation value in the Websea game ecosystem.
Dual-wheel drive of staking and deflation
The economic model of WBS is centered around high-quality staking yields and a strong deflation mechanism, stimulating long-term holding through a 'dual-wheel drive' to enhance the real value anchoring of assets:
• Annualized staking yield reaches 45% - 76%, far exceeding the industry average, continuously attracting long-term capital inflow;
• 10% of the monthly platform transaction fees are used for WBS repurchase and destruction, continuously reducing market supply and promoting strong deflation of WBS;
• The total amount of platform staking has exceeded 10 million tokens (as of July 20, 2025), with solid liquidity barriers and steady value enhancement.
User structure and new paradigms of social fragmentation
The Websea platform ecosystem is continuously improving, and the user structure is showing a significant trend towards youth. This generation of users not only has a high sensitivity to digital technology and strong participation but also demonstrates a strong desire for expression and co-creation in new forms of social interaction.
In 2025, Websea continues to improve its social system, successively launching live streaming, social plaza, and group chat features, attracting a large influx of chain game players, the pan-entertainment crowd, content creators, and Generation Z users to the platform. Currently, a social points system centered around WBS is also in the pipeline and is set to launch soon. From social empowerment of trading to content linking users, Websea is expanding its user boundaries at an unprecedented speed, injecting continuous vitality and imaginative space into the WBS ecosystem.
Global expansion and application in new fields
On July 1, 2025, Websea officially obtained the Australian ASIC regulatory license, taking a solid step forward on the global compliance path. As a crypto asset trading platform aimed at global users, Websea continues to promote compliance processes in multiple regions, creating a safer and more trustworthy trading environment for users. Currently, Websea has established a solid user base in key markets such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, North America, and Australia, forming a strategic layout covering the core active areas of global crypto assets.
New paradigm of platform token value reassessment: from utility token to internal circular asset
Behind the strong performance of WBS is a profound transformation of the platform token value paradigm:
WBS represents a new paradigm of 'platform tokens as the blood of the ecosystem': its value is no longer a reflection of discounts on transaction fees, but rather a reflection of user behavior value, product usage frequency, asset security, and active participation in governance. The core of paradigm iteration lies in whether GameFi consumption, deflationary locking, and a youthful user structure can form a lasting composite driving force. If platform innovation and operational rhythm continue to stay ahead, WBS will lead a new round of structural changes, becoming a benchmark example in the crypto platform token sector.
In the context of widespread industry adjustment and weakness in the platform token sector, WBS's performance is like a beam of light piercing through the fog—showing us the direction of platform token value reassessment: structural reconstruction + ecological resonance + strategic design. Currently, WBS has a very low circulating market value, and the user base, deflation intensity, and diversified applications all have tens to hundreds of times the potential for growth. As long as the Websea ecosystem extends and the capital chain remains healthy, actual takeoff is no longer a mere talk.
