KuCoin Lists UFO Gaming – A Step Closer to Bridging the Gap Between Gaming and Blockchain

Published

KuCoin is listing UFO Gaming, with only a few weeks till the end of 2021. After a remarkable year in crypto, with institutional and retail interest soaring, the project ends the year on a high note with numerous positive developments. Being listed on KuCoin, the world’s fifth-biggest cryptocurrency exchange demonstrates that they are one step closer to resolving the issue UFO Gaming intends to address: the gap between gaming and blockchain.

Video games have become ingrained in the life of many individuals. They are not only going to arcades or playing NES for entertainment purposes. It is a way of life, competitiveness, a culture, and a new way of seeing the world. The most profitable sectors are streaming and eSports. However, the challenges are sensible: present Play-to-Earn (P2E) models do not favor the average person. P2E through cryptocurrency is the first viable method for normal players to earn money as they play.

Gaming is massive. It is a thriving industry that encompasses streaming, eSports, and a variety of platforms. Astonishing statistics reveal earnings are projected to reach $175.8 billion in 2021 and $200 billion in 2023.

Since 2010, both the public’s monetary value and media attention have increased significantly. The term “cryptocurrency” alludes to the same phenomenon. Since 2011, cryptocurrency has grown at an exponential rate. Since 2017, the market has increased from $18 billion to more than $600 billion. It is presently valued at over $2 trillion and is expected to exceed $2 trillion by 2021. Coincidentally, two new sectors are forming and expanding: gaming and cryptocurrency.

UFO Gaming is bridging this divide. They want to bridge the gap between blockchain and conventional gaming, increasing adoption of blockchain gaming and developing and running their own games, working with established gaming businesses to incorporate their games onto the blockchain effortlessly.

UFO Gaming is the first blockchain startup to form a significant partnership with the well-known eSport, gaming, and content organization, Horizon Union, who have close ties with the giant brand, GFUEL. Signifying that they are further branching into the eSport scene, as they have just completed a successful tournament.

The UFO Gaming 10K Cup was live-streamed on Twitch, with professional streamers like Nokokopuffs from TSM, Apryze from Complexity Gaming to demonstrate their commitment to the community. A $10,000 prize pool was at stake. The highly anticipated community-led competition was a huge success. With a $10,000 prize pool, UFO Gaming is the first blockchain gaming firm to enter Esports and host a tournament of this magnitude.

UFO Gaming strives to empower gamers by providing easily accessible, competitive, and exciting games in which players retain complete control of asset ownership. This is accomplished by facilitating game assets (NFTs, currency) transfer across platforms and a transparent and sustainable play-to-earn gaming economy.

Kucoin listing UFO Gaming, the world’s largest centralized exchange for the altcoin market, signifies their commitment to expanding in several markets. The native token of UFO Gaming $UFO is currently actively traded on KuCoin in the UFO/USDT pair. With crypto’s current cross-chain limitations, being on a Centralized Exchange can be favorable to onboard retail interest.

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

Casino games aggregator and full-service technology provider St8 has secured its registration to operate in Alberta as an iGaming Services Supplier, marking another significant milestone in the company’s strategy to expand across North America’s regulated iGaming markets.

St8 was among the first suppliers to secure a conditional approval granted by the AGLC, underlining the company’s readiness to support operators as the province prepares to open its regulated iGaming market.

Alberta represents a key market in St8’s North American growth strategy and follows the company’s expansion into Ontario earlier this year. With its latest approval, St8 is now regulated in some of the industry’s most sought-after jurisdictions, including Sweden, the UK, Romania, and Ontario, among others.

The Alberta approval enables St8 to provide its next-generation game aggregation services to licensed operators in Alberta, giving partners access to more than 200 premium game providers through a single API integration, alongside bonus and promotional tools, advanced reporting, compliance capabilities, and a suite of operational features designed to simplify casino management.

Purpose-built with modern infrastructure and regulatory flexibility at its core, the St8 software enables operators to launch premium casino content quickly, while also reducing the operational complexity typically associated with multi-provider integrations and expansion into new markets.

This registration builds on St8’s growing presence in regulated jurisdictions and reinforces the company’s commitment to supporting operators with scalable, compliant technology as new opportunities emerge across North America and beyond.

With compliance, speed and operational efficiency at the heart of its product, St8 remains focused on helping operators enter new markets with confidence while delivering seamless access to premium casino content through a single integration.

Eva Alšauskaite, Head of Legal at St8, said: “Securing our Alberta supplier registration represents another important step in St8’s international growth strategy and reflects our continued investment in regulated markets.
