The largest chain game in history (MapleStory N) officially launches, financing over $100 million.
How much can $NXPC rise? From $2 to $40, we conducted a comprehensive simulation.
On May 15, 2025, Nexon will officially launch MapleStory N, a Web3 chain game adapted from the classic PC game MapleStory. Before launch, the project has completed over $100 million in financing, becoming one of the largest issuance projects in GameFi history.
This is not only a sentimental return but may also be a collective explosion in the chain game market.
In this revolution, the most core asset is the ecosystem token $NXPC.
It carries key functions such as on-chain minting for the entire MapleStory Universe, NFT equipment, player governance, and profit sharing, and may also become a super narrative chip for the next round of the GameFi bull market.
How much can $NXPC rise? We conducted a comprehensive simulation.
First layer valuation: Benchmark against current GameFi leading projects
If we only refer to the current leading projects in the GameFi sector, such as $GALA, $SAND, $MANA, their market caps generally range between $300 million to $700 million.
With only about 17% of $NXPC in circulation, the estimated token price range roughly falls between $2 to $4.
In other words, even if it's just at the industry average level, $NXPC still has several times the potential for growth.
Second layer imagination: Benchmarking historical bull market peaks
Looking back at the bull market cycle from 2021 to 2022, the peak market caps of leading chain games like GALA, SAND, and MANA generally ranged between $2 billion to $7 billion, corresponding to a price projection for $NXPC that could reach $15 to $40.
In other words, if MapleStory N successfully captures market sentiment and runs a complete narrative in a bull market, the potential for $NXPC will far exceed 5 times, 10 times, or even possibly reach over 20 times the opening price.
Four key factors determining the success or failure of $NXPC
1. Exchange launch rhythm
Whether it launches on top platforms like Binance / OKX will directly affect initial liquidity and the speed of cognitive diffusion.
2. Conversion ability of Web2 players
Whether it can migrate MapleStory's hundreds of millions of users on-chain is the most important lifeline for this project. Users are not NFTs, but real on-chain individuals.
3. Economic design of the token model
$NXPC's mechanisms for deflation, destruction, staking, and appreciation will determine whether it is a 'quick trade' or a 'long-term hold.'
4. Market sentiment and GameFi rotation rhythm
The explosion of $NXPC, in addition to the project itself, also requires the revival of the entire GameFi sector as a backdrop.
Is $NXPC an opportunity or an illusion?
Would you choose to place an early bet at $0.5 to $1, waiting for it to become the next SAND or AXS?
Do you believe that Nexon + MapleStory + Web3 represents an industry-level revolution, or is it just a mild failure?
Are you ready to reopen that familiar world, but this time, everything is written on-chain?
Financing is in place, the game is launched, and the journey of $NXPC has just begun.
This is not just a new chapter for MapleStory,
More than just a Game
