Moonfrost has successfully raised $4.5m in a seed round led by Blocore which includes: Supercell, Pantera Capital, Animoca Brands and Griffin Gaming Partners. Games industry legend Sir Ian Livingstone and Phil Mansell (Jagex CEO) are also onboard as angels.

Moonfrost is a multiplayer, social-simulation / farming RPG that combines the best bits of Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing and Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’ll be a premium-level experience that prioritises great gameplay for a broad audience.

The game is currently being developed by Oxalis Games, a UK based, entirely remote studio founded by BAFTA winning game developer Ric Moore (CEO), and ‘Boss Witch & Art Director’ Gina Nelson.

The studio’s founders bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the crypto space: Ric, previously co-founded Bossa Studios and The Secret Police, best known for developing Stardew Valley for mobile. Gina has over a decade’s experience in the games industry, she has led multiple art teams and worked with many major brands, including: Gears of War, Star Wars, Hasbro and Disney.

“We’re building the next generation of crypto games where fun comes first” says Ric, “we intend to raise the bar in terms of quality and user experience. We’re also doing some pioneering things with NFTs which we haven’t seen done before.”

The Oxalis Games team is rapidly expanding, attracting talents from industry leading game studios including the likes of: Epic, Mediatonic, Sumo, Natural Motion, Unity, EA and Ubisoft.

Moonfrost has partnered with New York based Sweet Farm, described as “the first non-profit sanctuary in the world to address the global climate impacts of factory farming across animals, the plants, and the planet.” You will be able to buy digital versions of real animals from Sweet Farm in the form of NFTs, which you can then raise on your in-game farmstead.

James Lim, founder of Blocore, says “we believe the farming/simulation genre is perfect for blockchain gaming and the Moonfrost team have a track record of making this type of game a big global success.”

Gina adds, “We’re building a game to stand the test of time. It’s going to redefine people’s perception of crypto games. I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of such an innovative studio.”

Global crypto entertainment brand BC.GAME has been named “Best Crypto Casino 2025” at the SiGMA Central Europe B2C Awards, held this year in Rome. The result has been published via SiGMA’s official channels and industry media, with BC.GAME listed among the winners in the cryptocasino operator category.

As part of the SiGMA Central Europe 2025 event in early November, the B2C Awards focused on operators that have shown notable performance in online entertainment and sports betting over the past year. The “Best CryptoCasino 2025” category is specifically dedicated to platforms built around crypto assets as a core feature of their offering.

According to award-related communications and public review sources, BC.GAME’s recognition is linked to its integration of crypto payments, multi-vertical product line-up and ongoing development in Web3-oriented use cases. Several third-party reviews have highlighted BC.GAME as a representative example of a platform that supports multiple cryptocurrencies, combines casino and sports content, and designs features with on-chain users in mind.

BC.GAME noted that the award serves as a form of interim feedback on the platform’s long-term commitment to the crypto segment. The company plans to continue improving the user experience around crypto payments, cross-device product performance and content operations, while expanding sports and esports-related partnerships in markets where such activities are permitted by local regulation.

As a crypto-native operator, BC.GAME incorporates mechanisms such as provably fair verification into its product design and combines these with a native token and promotional structures to deliver an integrated casino and sports experience for crypto community users. With continued nominations and awards within the SiGMA framework and other international programmes, BC.GAME is increasingly regarded as a long-term player in the crypto entertainment vertical.

Romania Bans Polymarket Over Illegal Cryptocurrency Betting Activities

Romania’s National Office for Gambling (ONJN) has officially blacklisted Polymarket, a prominent prediction market that allows users to bet on future events, citing its operation as an unlicensed gambling platform. The decision comes amid heightened concerns over crypto-based betting during recent election cycles, where Polymarket reportedly saw trading volumes surpassing $600 million.

ONJN asserts that Polymarket’s “counterpart betting” model – where users wager against each other on future outcomes – falls squarely within the scope of Romanian gambling regulations. The regulator clarified that regardless of whether bets are placed using fiat currency or cryptocurrencies, they are legal gambling activities that require appropriate licensing. ONJN President Vlad-Cristian Soare emphasised that the issue is about compliance with the law, not technology, stating, “It’s about the law, not the platform’s blockchain foundation.”

Although Polymarket promotes itself as an “event trading” platform, ONJN concluded that its operational structure – where users place bets on the outcomes of unpredictable events and the platform earns commissions – meets the legal criteria of gambling. Consequently, Romanian internet providers are now mandated to block access to the platform.
