Leak of 16 billion passwords exposes urgency of using secure cryptocurrency wallets

An exclusive investigation by Cybernews revealed an unprecedented data leak: 16 billion login credentials exposed on criminal forums.

The records, distributed across 30 distinct databases, include information from services such as Facebook, Google, Apple, GitHub, Telegram, and even government platforms, paving the way for mass phishing attacks, identity theft, and account hijacking. This leak exposes the urgency of using secure cryptocurrency wallets.

The data was compiled from multiple Infostealer malware – such as RedLine, Vidar, and Taurus – malicious programs that steal passwords, browsing cookies, session tokens, and even cryptocurrency keys.

Unlike traditional breaches (such as company leaks), these records are recent and actively exploited, with new sets emerging every few weeks.

According to investigators, the case goes far beyond just another simple leak of recycled old data. It is a new technology that steals updated data on a scale never before seen by researchers.

Secure cryptocurrency wallets

Although researchers have not yet confirmed all types of compromised data, cryptocurrency wallets are among the most likely targets. Criminals specifically target these softwares, which store valuable digital assets.

Once infected, the results can be devastating: from unauthorized fund transfers to the theft of private keys stored in browsers or local files.

In light of this alarming scenario, digital security experts emphasize the importance of robust measures to protect both sensitive information and digital assets.

Big Techs prepare to expand the use of cryptocurrencies, says Fortune

The largest technology companies in the world — such as Google, Apple, Meta, X (formerly Twitter), Airbnb, and Uber — are moving to increase the adoption of cryptocurrencies through stablecoins. This information comes from Fortune magazine, which consulted sources close to the negotiations.

According to the publication, these companies are in dialogue with stablecoin issuers to integrate payment solutions into their apps and platforms. This movement follows the trend of banks, fintechs, and publicly traded companies that began adopting crypto assets more intensively in 2025.

Airbnb, for example, is already in talks to integrate cryptocurrencies into its short-term rental platform. Google Pay and Apple Pay, which already offer digital payment solutions, are also evaluating the use of stablecoins as a way to reduce transaction costs, particularly in international transfers.

Uber publicly confirmed its interest. At a Bloomberg event on June 5, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi stated that the company is exploring ways to adopt stablecoins. According to him, these assets are practical and efficient, especially for global operations. He also stated that Bitcoin is a consolidated store of value:

"It is a proven store of value. I think it is stable. Bitcoin is very promising, especially for large international companies," he said.

The adoption of stablecoins by companies with billions of users could further boost the crypto market, which has been seeking to expand its presence in accessible, secure, and low-fee payment methods.

Santiago Peña's account is hacked and false post claims that Paraguay has adopted Bitcoin as official currency

On the morning of this Monday (9th), the official profile of the President of Paraguay, Santiago Peña, on the social network X (formerly Twitter), surprised followers by posting a message stating that the country had adopted Bitcoin as legal tender and initiated the formation of a strategic reserve of $5 million in BTC.

The post, which quickly reached nearly 200 thousand views, also indicated the supposed creation of a bond program aimed at citizens who use cryptocurrencies. However, the text also included a Bitcoin wallet address, accompanied by the phrase: “Your investment today will determine the scale of this implementation” — a clear sign of a possible scam attempt.

An analysis conducted by the portal Livecoins showed that the mentioned Bitcoin address had received a single transaction of approximately 0.026 BTC (about R$ 16 thousand), which occurred months before the post. So far, there is no evidence that users have fallen for the scam after the message was released.

Despite being well-written and mentioning the supposed benefits of Bitcoin for the Paraguayan economy, the content was quickly questioned by internet users. Approximately 13 minutes after the post, the official profile of the Presidency of Paraguay issued a statement claiming that Santiago Peña's account may have been subject to unauthorized access.

“We inform that the official account of the President of the Republic on the social network X exhibited irregular activity suggesting possible unauthorized access,” the statement said.

According to the government, the team from the Paraguayan Cyber Incident Response Center (CERTPY) is working with platform X to investigate the situation. The statement also advises the public to disregard any recent posts made on the president's profile until an official position is established.

Switzerland will exchange cryptocurrency investors' data with 74 countries, including Brazil

Switzerland announced that it will start automatically sharing data about cryptocurrency investors and companies with 74 countries — including Brazil — starting in 2027.

The decision was approved by the Swiss Federal Council on June 6, 2025, and is part of a global effort to combat tax evasion, money laundering, and asset concealment.

The measure aims to target foreign residents with digital assets held in the country and will be implemented in accordance with the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), an international standard developed by the OECD.

The international exchange of information will cover countries that already participate in the automatic exchange system in the traditional financial sector.

All G20 members are included, except for Saudi Arabia and the United States. The European Union will be fully included.

Brazil, in turn, is among the beneficiaries, which will allow the Federal Revenue Service to receive data on Brazilians with crypto assets in Switzerland.

Despite being already approved, the measure will only come into effect in 2026, with the first exchanges expected for the following year. Implementation will depend on reciprocation from the interested countries, which must meet the CARF criteria.

Switzerland may suspend sharing if any nation fails to follow the agreed-upon rules.

The new policy will require changes to the Swiss federal decree and represents an important milestone in the transparency of cryptocurrency operations.

Foreign investors, Swiss banks, and brokers operating digital assets are among those affected.

The decision reinforces Switzerland's alignment with international efforts to regulate the crypto market.

Executive detained in Nigeria resigns from Binance

Tigran Gambaryan, former head of investigations at Binance, announced his departure from the exchange this Thursday (6), after four years of service.

In an emotional statement posted on social media, he thanked founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) and highlighted the company's achievements in compliance and combating financial crime.

During his tenure, Gambaryan led the creation of a global team of over 150 professionals and responded to more than 57,000 police requests, contributing to investigations that resulted in arrests, legal proceedings, and seizures of assets linked to terrorism and other illicit activities.

Among the notable actions are the tracking of wallets linked to ISIS, the dismantling of a $270 million scheme in Thailand, and training sessions held with anti-corruption authorities in Nigeria.

According to the executive, these efforts helped recover more than $400,000 in illegal funds in that country.

Gambaryan was detained in Nigeria for eight months in 2024, accused of money laundering and tax evasion—charges that were dropped by the Nigerian judiciary in October of the same year, after intense international pressure.

Despite his release, Binance's situation in the country remains critical: the Nigerian judiciary is demanding $81 billion in damages from the exchange for alleged harm to the country, including accusations of collaboration with terrorist groups, kidnappers, and currency manipulation that allegedly contributed to a 90% devaluation of the Naira.

In his farewell, Gambaryan stated that he will continue to work in the cryptocurrency sector, seeking to contribute to the integration of technology, regulation, and security—whether in the public or private sector.

He thanked the colleagues and authorities who supported him during his imprisonment and concluded his message with the hope of reuniting with them soon on a new mission.

Ministry seeks "convergence" to resolve IOF; leaders mention "caution"

The Ministry of Finance is looking for a consensus with the National Congress to find alternatives to the increase in IOF (Tax on Financial Transactions), a measure announced and partially revoked on May 22 after strong negative reactions from the market and society.

Minister Fernando Haddad is meeting with leaders of the Chamber and the Senate to discuss solutions that avoid the tax increase in 2025. The main bet of the Ministry is a linear cut of 10% in tax benefits, a symbolic gesture to the President of the Chamber, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), in addition to a possible extension of the deadline for increasing transfers to Fundeb, already approved by President Lula.

Among other alternatives discussed are controlling the growth of BPC (Continuous Cash Benefit), facing resistance within the government base, and increasing taxation on electronic betting ("bets").

In the Chamber, there is strong resistance, as the tax rate was previously negotiated with the government. In the Senate, leaders admit to discussing the topic, as long as it is linked to combating illegal operations in the sector.

Parliamentary leaders assess the maintenance of the IOF increase for 2025 as unlikely, considering the political and economic impacts. There is a consensus that the government will need to demonstrate spending cuts to justify any new revenue measures.

The proposals are being kept confidential until a new round of negotiations, within the 10-day deadline agreed with the presidents of Congress. The Ministry hopes for a “good dialogue” to achieve the desired “convergence.”

Nvidia surpasses Microsoft and becomes the most valuable company in the world

Nvidia has surpassed technology giants such as Microsoft and Apple and is the most valuable company in the world, according to a survey by the company Elos Ayta Consultoria.

The data is from Tuesday (3). The semiconductor manufacturing company reached a market capitalization of 3.446 trillion dollars.

Nvidia and Microsoft alternated leadership during the year, with ups and downs for the former, which returned and consolidated itself at the top. Microsoft, on the other hand, was stable, according to the CEO of Elos Ayta, Einar Rivero.

The increase in demand for artificial intelligence solutions, data center infrastructure and advanced chips helped Nvidia's appreciation in the market.

Market value

1- Nvidia Corp - $3.446 trillion
2- Microsoft Corp - $3.441 trillion
3- Apple Inc - $3.036 trillion
4- Amazon.com, Inc - $2.184 trillion
5- Alphabet Inc - $2.025 trillion
6- Meta Platforms, Inc - $1.677 trillion
7- Broadcom Inc - $1.208 trillion
8- Tesla, Inc - $1.109 trillion
9- Berkshire Hathaway Inc - $1.080 trillion
10- Walmart Inc - $802 billion

Nvidia's rise to the position of the world's most valuable company symbolizes a paradigm shift in the technology sector, driven primarily by the exponential growth of artificial intelligence and the demand for high-performance hardware.

Surpassing historical names such as Microsoft and Apple, Nvidia consolidates its leadership position by providing the technological foundations that support the new digital era. This milestone not only highlights the relevance of semiconductors on the global stage, but also reinforces the central role that AI innovation plays in the contemporary economy and future market transformations.

After 12 years, the story of a man who lost a hard drive with $742 million has a surprising ending

James Howells, an IT specialist and resident of Newport, UK, threw away a hard drive containing the password to his wallet with 8,000 Bitcoins — which was worth about $8 million in 2013. With the appreciation of the cryptocurrency, the value reached $742 million. Since then, he has attempted to recover the lost device from a landfill, devising a bold plan using drones, artificial intelligence, and robots.

However, local authorities rejected the proposal, citing environmental risks such as the release of toxic gases and soil contamination. Additionally, under British law, items discarded in landfills become the property of the site, which further complicated the recovery of the drive. The courts denied the excavation, stating that there was no realistic chance of success, considering the likely state of deterioration of the equipment after so many years.

Despite the judicial setback, Howells' story took a new turn: a production company in Los Angeles acquired the rights to turn his saga into a documentary series, podcast, and short videos, titled The Buried Bitcoin: The Real-Life Treasure Hunt of James Howells. Excited, James stated that the project is a way to show his journey to the world and reaffirmed that he does not intend to give up.

Could Michael Saylor be selling Bitcoin? CZ's mysterious tweet raises suspicions

On May 27, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), founder of Binance, released one of those messages that ignite the crypto community. In few words, he suggested that "someone important" would be selling their bitcoins — but did not say who.

The post quickly went viral, accumulating over 500 thousand views and thousands of comments. Many tried to guess the name behind the alleged sale. The main suspect? Michael Saylor, founder of MicroStrategy, who recently has taken a critical stance towards the practice of proof of reserves.

The AI Grok, from X itself, even pointed to the Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas, but the community's spotlight turned to Saylor. The reason? His refusal to disclose the BTC addresses of MicroStrategy — which today holds over 576 thousand bitcoins, valued at around R$ 362 billion.

"CZ is afraid to tag the @, but everyone knows it's a hint towards @saylor," wrote a follower, reinforcing the atmosphere of tension.

In recent videos, Saylor argues that proofs of reserves, as done today, are flawed and unsafe. For him, the safest path would be self-custody — something he himself criticized in early 2024 when he suggested that investors should trust banks and large institutions.

The billionaire now advocates that companies adopt audits conducted by the "Big Four", with the signatures of the CEOs, as a more reliable form of transparency. But even so, his resistance to showing the company's balances raised suspicions.

Therefore, the theory that the sale came from the company loses strength — but the idea that Saylor might have sold part of his personal BTC still lingers. He has claimed to own over 17,000 bitcoins, but has not updated this number since 2021.

Mystery in the air. And the community keeps watching.

MetaMask now supports Solana (SOL)

MetaMask, the most used crypto wallet in the Ethereum ecosystem, has taken an important step towards multichain: it is now also compatible with the Solana (SOL) network and its tokens. The news was officially announced on May 27 and is already available in the new version of the extension (v12.18).

The integration with Solana had been promised in March and, it appears, MetaMask is on schedule. The next big step will be to integrate Bitcoin, expected in the third quarter of 2025.

With this update, users can now send, receive, swap, bridge, and purchase Solana-based tokens, as well as interact with the network's dApps — all with the robust security that established MetaMask.

To use Solana within MetaMask, simply create a new account or import an existing one. Balances of SOL and native tokens will be displayed automatically. The network can be easily selected from the wallet's menu.

This move aligns MetaMask with other wallets that already operate across multiple networks, such as Phantom and Trust Wallet. The idea is clear: not to fall behind in an increasingly interoperable market.

Additionally, the integration already allows connections with popular Solana platforms, such as PumpFun, known as the "meme coin factory." The promise is that new features and compatibilities will come soon.

📈 Currently, Solana is the 6th largest cryptocurrency in the world, with a market value exceeding $93 billion — and has been considered Ethereum's main rival in transaction speed and cost.

The arrival of Bitcoin to MetaMask is the next major milestone. And if history is maintained, everything indicates that the functionality should arrive between July and September. Until then, the community remains hopeful.

Stablecoin issuer Circle raises $1.05 billion in IPO in the US

Circle Internet set the price for its initial public offering (IPO) in the United States, increased, at $31 per share this Wednesday, raising $1.05 billion and adding a new boost to the growing wave of advanced-stage cryptocurrency companies aiming for the stock market.

Circle and its shareholders sold 34 million shares at $31 each, valuing the issuer of the stablecoin USDC at about $8 billion on a fully diluted basis. The IPO price range was initially set between $27 and $28 per share.

The company's debut on the stock exchange is among the largest of the year, following a period of market uncertainty caused by changes in the trade policies of the Trump administration, which led many companies to postpone their plans for an IPO.

The Circle IPO, which will also be one of the largest listings related to the crypto asset industry since the debut of Coinbase Global in 2021, marks a busy year amid sector efforts to integrate with traditional finance under the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has promised lighter regulations for the industry.

"The enormous demand for Circle's IPO is a boost both for the IPO market and for listings related to cryptocurrencies," said Samuel Kerr, head of equity capital markets at Mergermarket.

Founded in 2013, Circle is the issuer of USDC, which has a market capitalization of over $61 billion and is the second-largest stablecoin after Tether, according to cryptocurrency market tracker CoinGecko.

Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency designed to maintain a stable value by pegging to traditional currencies such as the US dollar. In addition to USDC, Circle also issues the stablecoin EURC, denominated in euros.
Circle will begin trading on the NYSE under the ticker "CRCL" on Thursday.

Itaú economists suggest taxation on bets and cryptocurrencies to offset decline in IOF

During the event "Macro in Focus," held in São Paulo, economists from Itaú bank proposed revenue alternatives to compensate for the loss of about R$ 6 billion caused by the revision in the increase of IOF (Tax on Financial Transactions) rates. The proposals involve higher taxation on sports betting, the inclusion of cryptocurrencies in the IOF collection, and the adjustment of budget forecasts for revenue from dividends and oil auctions.

The bank's chief economist, Mário Mesquita, compared sports betting to products like cigarettes and alcohol, suggesting that its increasing consumption justifies a specific tax burden. He also argued that cryptocurrencies should not be exempt from IOF, since other financial assets are subject to the tax. For Mesquita, the ideal scenario would be to eliminate IOF, but given the need for revenue, it is consistent to expand its incidence base.

Pedro Schneider, another economist from Itaú, emphasized that these measures would be part of an agenda aimed at reducing tax distortions. However, he warned that increases in tax burden have limits and uncertain effects on market behavior — which could compromise the effectiveness of revenue collection.

The proposal emerged after the government announced and, a few hours later, backtracked on part of the decree to increase IOF, following strong negative market reaction and opposition from the president of the Central Bank, Gabriel Galípolo. The instability generated, according to the economists, could inhibit capital inflow into the country and create distrust among investors.

Panetta, from the ECB, warns that cryptocurrency losses may undermine trust in banks

Fabio Panetta, a member of the European Central Bank (ECB) and president of the Bank of Italy, issued a strong warning this Friday about the increasing risks that banks face when engaging with crypto assets.

In presenting the annual report of the Bank of Italy, Panetta emphasized that the growing convergence between the traditional financial system and the world of cryptocurrencies requires heightened attention, especially regarding reputation risks and customer trust.

According to him, there is a concrete danger that customers may confuse crypto assets with traditional banking products, which could lead to a loss of confidence in the credit system should losses occur.

An example of this trend is the Italian bank Intesa Sanpaolo, which in 2023 set up a trading desk dedicated to digital assets and, in January 2024, purchased 1 million euros in bitcoins, described as "a test" by CEO Carlo Messina.

Panetta's warning comes at a time when major European banks, such as the Spanish Santander, are also signaling intent to expand their operations in the sector, even studying the launch of stablecoins — cryptocurrencies pegged to fiat currencies — and offering access to crypto assets for retail customers.

Panetta drew attention to the risks that stablecoins pose to the traditional payment system, especially if promoted by large international technology platforms. He criticized the lack of adequate regulation, stating that under these conditions, their reliability as a means of payment is highly questionable.

Alexandre Silveira presents Lula with a plan to resolve fiscal deadlock

In light of the deadlock with the National Congress regarding the increase of IOF, the Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira, presented President Lula with an alternative plan to strengthen the federal government's finances through extraordinary revenues from the oil sector.

The proposal includes the sale of oil from the Union in the Tupi, Mero, and Atapu fields (estimated at R$ 15 billion), concession auctions (R$ 150 million), and an agreement for the individualization of production in the Jubarte field (R$ 2 billion). There are also revisions of reference prices, revaluations of stakes in pre-salt fields, and changes to the special participation decree, potentially totaling more than R$ 35 billion by 2026.

For the year 2026, the government projects an additional boost of R$ 15 billion, focusing on increased revenue from PPSA and auctions in new basins. The measures will be incorporated into the bimonthly report on revenues and expenses in July, aiming to mitigate contingency risks and strengthen budget execution in an election year.

"Coincidence or not, the billion-dollar figures promised with oil began to emerge exactly on the eve of 2026 — the year Brazil returns to the polls. It seems that when the fuel is political, even the pre-salt responds faster. Does the Tupi field also vote?" (contains irony)

Tim Cook loses influence in Washington and Apple becomes a target of Trump

The relationship between Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, and former U.S. President Donald Trump, has suffered a recent blow after Cook's absence from a presidential trip to the Middle East. Annoyed by the decision, Trump publicly criticized the executive, praising the presence of other tech industry leaders, such as Nvidia's Jensen Huang, and pointing to Apple's expansion in India as a point of contention.

During events in Riyadh and Doha, Trump stated he had "a small problem with Tim Cook" and expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that Apple is transferring a significant part of its production to India.

On his Truth Social network, the former president emphasized that iPhones sold in the U.S. should be manufactured on American soil, and threatened to impose a 25% tariff on devices produced outside the country.

Apple has been diversifying its supply chain to reduce dependence on China, with plans to manufacture most iPhones sold in the U.S. in India by 2026.

However, analysts highlight that bringing this production to the U.S. would be logistically complex and financially burdensome: the cost of assembling an iPhone in the U.S. would be around $390, compared to $30 in India, primarily due to high labor costs.

The market reacted negatively to Trump's statements. Apple's shares fell 3%, reflecting concerns about possible tariffs, rising costs, and impacts on the production chain.

The episode marks a weakening of Tim Cook's influence in Washington, highlighting the growing tension between global business interests and the protectionist policies advocated by Trump.

Peru seeks high-level meeting with China and Brazil to advance bioceanic railway

The Ministry of Economy of Peru stated in a statement this Monday that the country will seek a high-level meeting with China and Brazil to advance a bioceanic railway project.

The Minister of Economy, Raul Perez Reyes, met with the Chinese ambassador to Peru, who told him that a meeting between the leaders of the countries would help define a joint roadmap for the regional railway corridor, according to the statement.

The proposed railway would connect Brazil to a new port on the Peruvian Pacific coast, creating a trade route with China that would allow avoiding routes through the Panama Canal and the southern tip of South America.

As XRP Falls, a New Token Catches Investors' Attention

XRP shows a slight increase of 0.8% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinGecko data, but the technical outlook suggests caution. After a rally of about 25% between May 8 and May 12, Ripple's token entered a correction and lost support at the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level.

If selling pressure persists, the next targets may be supports at $2.23 and $2.11 — a potential drop of approximately 10%, marking a possible reversal to a prolonged downward trend.

The imminent crossover between the 9-day and 21-day exponential moving averages reinforces pessimism, as historically this technical signal has preceded declines of over 15%. Other indicators such as RSI (below 50), MACD (close to reversal), ADX (above 20), and CMF (still positive, but with selling dominance) point to a technically unstable market dominated by selling forces.

Data from Coinglass reveals that over 51% of the orders involving XRP in the last four hours were sell orders, reinforcing the ongoing selling pressure. Analysts warn that, without a recovery of buying forces, the asset may deepen the downward trend.

In contrast to this uncertainty, the SUBBD Token ($SUBBD) emerges as an innovative alternative. Aimed at content creators, the token offers benefits such as 20% staking during the presale, as well as access to exclusive content, artificial intelligence tools, and discounts for subscriptions.

The project seeks to optimize the relationship between influencers and fans, attracting investors attentive to new trends in utility tokens.

Bitcoin Today 05/27/2025: BTC Defends Support and ETH Stands Out

On this Tuesday, May 27, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) remains stable above $109,000, with a slight drop of 0.1%, quoted at $109,771, according to data from CoinGecko.

Despite the apparent stagnation, the market shows strength in defending supports close to historical levels — $105,000 and $102,000.

Experts, such as Guilherme Prado from Bitget, project new highs for BTC still in 2025, with estimates between $120,000 and $200,000, driven by factors such as institutional interest and the uncertain macroeconomic scenario.

Ethereum (ETH) was the positive highlight of the day, appreciating 2.7% and leading the gains among the 10 largest cryptocurrencies. In contrast, XRP showed the largest drop in the group (-1.1%), followed by Solana (-0.6%).

ETH is currently traded at $2,587, with a possibility of retreating to $2,000 if it loses support, while BNB remains sideways around $680.

Despite the strong inflow through ETFs and the expectations surrounding the Bitcoin Conference 2025, BTC still faces resistance to break the $110,000 barrier.

The combination of high interest rates in the U.S., the retreat of “whales,” and a Relative Strength Index (RSI) close to the overbought zone are pointed out as factors restraining its advance.

Still, Bitcoin is gaining ground as a diversification asset, especially in light of the weak performance of traditional assets like gold.

However, its high volatility and strong correlation with stocks in times of stress keep it in the high-risk investment category.

Analysts assert that if liquidity conditions improve, BTC may finally surpass $110,000 and seek new highs.

Dreams that cross time — now eternalized on digital platforms

For more than 15 years, my heart beat to the rhythm of purposeful rap, composing lyrics that united rhythm and poetry as a form of evangelization. Back then, I had the partnership of a special friend — Abinael — who walked with me on this mission. Unfortunately, 12 years ago, he left us in a tragic motorcycle accident. Since then, I put the project aside... until now.

In 2025, I decided to stop postponing my dreams. I faced my fears, overcame procrastination, and brought back to life the compositions that were stored in my soul. And today, with a heart full of gratitude, I present the album “Tear,” released under the artistic name Dom da Palavra, available on the largest digital platforms.

Each track carries a story. In particular, the song “Mothers' Tears,” which gives the album its name, speaks of pain, faith, and hope. The songs “I Am a Winner” and “Thank You Jesus” feature the original voice of Abinael, recorded in rehearsals over 13 years ago. I kept these recordings as a way to eternalize his memory — even with inferior technical quality, the sentimental value is immeasurable.

We live in digital times, where technology, art, and faith connect. Just as the crypto-assets market transforms visions into realities, this project shows that dreams can also be tokenized through persistence and love.

If you believe that music can transform lives, I invite you to listen. May these songs find shelter in your heart as they found in mine.

May God bless you, today and always.

Steam adopts NFTs: discover the new crypto linked to the games of the future

The battle royale shooter game based on Avalanche, “Off the Grid“, is transitioning to its mainnet GUNZ, boosting its NFT marketplace with high-value sales even before its launch on Steam in June. And yes, Steam has resumed adopting NFTs on its platform.

There was much uncertainty regarding the acceptance of cryptocurrency games by Steam. In 2021, the company banned games that offered NFTs or cryptocurrency trading. This caused several games to cease their activities after being removed from Steam, harming the market.

One of those games was the Ethereum-based MMORPG, “Ember Sword“, which announced its closure due to funding difficulties. Despite a praised launch and significant initial promises from players, the game could not secure the necessary support to continue.

However, the launch of GUNZ on Steam could represent a radical shift regarding the previous ban on NFT games by Steam. Additionally, Ubisoft is relaunching “Champions Tactics” on Steam, although without its NFT features, and “FIFA Rivals” from Mythical Games has already opened registrations.
