With the aim of strengthening the connection between gaming communities and esports teams, FITCHIN, the Web3 platform that continues to solidify its global position, announces an alliance with Furious Gaming, one of the oldest esports teams in Argentina and Latin America.

FITCHIN, the fully integrated, digital gaming ecosystem powered by blockchain, is a bridge between the global gaming community, esports teams and content creators. Through this partnership, Furious can use FITCHIN’s benefits to bring fans closer to their favorite team with tournament structures, NFT collections, community hubs and exclusive experiences.

With more than 250 million followers in Latin America, Furious Gaming is one of the longest-running Spanish-speaking esports teams. They most recently welcomed esteemed player Paulo Dybala, the Argentinian player for A.S. Roma in the Italian Serie A league. La Calavera is recognized for its tremendous success in League of Legends and an important link with the LATAM community.

With this partnership, Furious Gaming brings its history and experience to the platform, where it will join FITCHIN at the cutting edge of Web3 technology. Furious members will be able to vote on the use of the community treasury’s funds, controlled exclusively by said members, and actively participate in future Web3 developments undertaken by the team together with FITCHIN.

“We are proud to add Furious to our roster of premier partners,” said Gaston Santourian, Marketing Director at FITCHIN. “Our partnership continues to support our mission to change and improve how global gaming communities connect.”

The first fans to acquire a Furious membership at launch will gain additional benefits as founding members. Among those benefits, they will participate in an initial jackpot to be awarded as a prize in FITCHIN’s native currency, the $CHIN.

FITCHIN and Furious will launch their first amateur tournament “DUOS Furiosos x FITCHIN”. The epic 2v2 League of Legends competition is the cornerstone of the relationship between the club and its community, which will soon have access to new memberships.

“The main connection between FITCHIN and Furious is innovation. FITCHIN is a platform that is here to innovate. Our partnership will innovate how we interact, innovate how markets work, and innovate the way communities interact with pro esports teams including influencers in the industry,” said Gonzalo “Gonzo” Garcia, CEO of Furious Gaming.

FITCHIN has continued to partner with tier one clubs in Latin America and beyond, further integrating in the worldwide esports ecosystem and reaffirming the relationship between esports and the blockchain.

SCCG Management, a global advisory firm serving the gaming industry, has entered into a strategic partnership with Coinspaid Solutions, a blockchain payments infrastructure provider, to support go-to-market efforts for crypto-enabled payment solutions across selected gaming markets.

Under the partnership, SCCG will support Coinspaid’s business development, strategic introductions and commercial expansion across gaming operators, platforms and technology providers. SCCG states that it works across iGaming, sports betting, tribal gaming and broader gaming technology, drawing on more than 30 years of industry experience.

Coinspaid’s infrastructure enables businesses to accept more than 20 stablecoins & other cryptocurrencies, automate conversion into 40+ fiat currencies, and manage payouts and treasury operations through a single infrastructure layer with API and plugin-based integrations. The company also states that it builds compliance into onboarding and payment flows, including AML/KYC/KYB controls, on-chain monitoring, MLRO oversight, ISO/IEC 27001 certification and independent audits.

The partnership will focus on helping licensed gaming businesses evaluate where crypto payments can improve settlement speed, expand payment optionality for cross-border audiences, and streamline payout workflows, subject to jurisdictional review, onboarding and applicable regulatory requirements in each market. Coinspaid also highlights rate lock at checkout, automatic fiat conversion and final settlement on eligible crypto payment flows.

“As gaming businesses continue to expand across markets, the demand for payment infrastructure that is both commercially effective and operationally resilient is only increasing,” said Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management. “Coinspaid Solutions brings together payments, payouts and compliance in a way that aligns with how many operators are thinking about growth today. We are pleased to support their expansion through our network across gaming and gaming technology.”

“At Coinspaid, we see sustainable growth in gaming as a combination of product capability, operational reliability and a compliance-first approach,” said Max Krupyshev, Co-founder of Coinspaid. “Our partnership with SCCG is designed to help businesses assess where stablecoin payments can add real value from player deposits and payouts to treasury operations, while keeping regulatory and risk considerations central to implementation.”

The partnership will also include coordinated business development and educational initiatives, including executive introductions, and educational content for operators and technology partners exploring blockchain payment infrastructure.

Crypto Snack, the blockchain-based crypto infrastructure company behind the $SNACK token, has announced the full scope of its multi-vertical ecosystem — spanning a Premier League football partnership, institutional-grade real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation, licensed iGaming, a live consumer rewards platform and an integrated crypto wallet and payments app.

The announcement marks a strategic repositioning for the project, which has spent the past 18 months building infrastructure, securing partnerships and obtaining licences ahead of a coordinated 2026 launch across all five verticals.

“Most crypto projects pick one lane. We’ve built five — and every single one generates real revenue for the token. This isn’t a roadmap built on promises. The partnerships are signed, the licences are secured, and the technology is built. 2026 is about execution,” Stuart Morrison, CEO and Founder of Crypto Snack.

Premier League Partnership

Crypto Snack has secured a partnership with an English Premier League football club, making it the first project to process cryptocurrency payments for a PL club. The integration covers matchday ticket purchases, merchandise sales, LED stadium advertising, VIP hospitality packages, and Ticketmaster-integrated ticketing — with $SNACK enabled as a direct payment method.

The club name remains under embargo ahead of a formal joint announcement in the coming weeks.

Real-World Asset Tokenisation

Crypto Snack facilitated and represents the Alkemya Metacore Security Token Offering (STO), which is listing on a regulated tokenised securities exchange. The STO comprises 800 million tokens, with Crypto Snack holding a 3% allocation. Proceeds are received in USDT, with remaining tokens generating ongoing cash distributions.

The company is actively tokenising UK real estate, commodities, and securities at institutional scale, with projects valued at up to $1.5 billion.

Licensed iGaming

Snack Casino and Snack Bet — a fully licensed online casino and sportsbook — are scheduled to launch in 2026, operated by a strategic iGaming partner under a licensed agreement to use the Crypto Snack brand. All bonuses, rewards and referral incentives will be distributed exclusively in $SNACK tokens, creating a recurring demand mechanism for the token independent of speculative trading.

Live Consumer Rewards

Snack Rewards is already live in the US through a partnership with Affina Loyalty, offering cashback paid in $SNACK tokens across more than 2000 brands including Apple, Nike, IKEA and Uber. The merchant-funded model means brands fund the cashback directly, with Crypto Snack earning a 1% commission on every transaction. UK and European expansion is scheduled for Q3 2026.

Snack App and Wallet

The Snack App will serve as the central gateway to the entire ecosystem, featuring a built-in crypto wallet with virtual debit cards, buy/sell/trade functionality and unified access to all rewards and loyalty programmes. The app is designed for mainstream adoption, removing the technical barriers that typically prevent non-crypto users from entering the space.
