The AI-based cat-themed game altcoin Catizen (CATI) reached a new record level after being listed by one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, Binance. This milestone showcases not only the growing interest in unique cryptocurrency projects but also the intersection of gaming and blockchain technology.
Surprise Listing from Binance
On September 20, the cryptocurrency exchange Binance announced that it would add Catizen (CATI) to its product offerings. The announcement excited many, as Binance revealed that Catizen would be integrated into various features such as Binance Simple Earn, ‘Buy Crypto’, Binance Convert, Binance Margin, and Binance Auto-Invest.
Become the Mayor of Cat Town
Catizen, launched in March and based on The Open Network (TON), allows players to take on the role of a mayor, managing a virtual cat city while earning rewards. TON, originally operated by the popular messaging app Telegram, is now sustained by an independent developer network.
According to the cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin, Catizen has over 34 million users, with 3.5 million active users daily and an average revenue per paid player of $33. With approximately 1 billion monthly users interacting through Telegram bots and mini-apps, Catizen benefits from Telegram’s large user base and its features supporting secure, decentralized transactions. The rise of other Telegram games like Notcoin, TapSwap, and Hamster Kombat has also contributed to increasing interest in the Catizen game.
The news of the listing boosted CATI’s value; the digital asset was trading at $0.988 at the time of writing, marking a 9.5% increase in the last 24 hours. Earlier today, the game altcoin reached an all-time high of $1.11.
The listing of Catizen by Binance illustrates the rapid growth of the crypto gaming ecosystem, demonstrating how users can earn through their gaming experiences. The support from major exchanges for such projects fosters innovation in the industry while creating new opportunities for investors and players alike.
