Video game crypto: Top gaming tokens

14 symbolsUpdated

You should never play games with your finances, but some cryptocurrencies blur the line. Increasing numbers of tokens can be used in games – for example buying extra game content, or funding character upgrades – or as distinct prizes and incentives. But don't forget, with such a saturated market, it pays to be cautious when the next patch update could very well break a game’s entire ecosystem.

The symbols in this Spark list crypto tokens currently used within games as a method of payment for items and features, or are incorporated within an 'play to earn' model, with a minimum market cap of 50m. This does not include GPU rendering and blockchains that support video game dApps. This list is curated by us but it definitely doesn't constitute advice. Don't lose all your coins by not doing your research - there's no extra lives here.
