Top Headlines in Crypto Games
Telegram and TON Join Forces
Telegram is doubling down on crypto with its exclusive partnership with The Open Network (TON). Starting now, Telegram’s mini apps, including popular games like Hamster Kombat and Trump’s Empire, must integrate with TON to keep their crypto features. The cherry on top? Telegram is offering perks to projects that hop on the TON train.

Here’s the kicker: TON wasn’t always independent. Telegram originally launched it as the Telegram Open Network, but regulatory heat forced the messaging app to abandon the project in 2020. Now, the community-run TON is a force to be reckoned with, and Telegram is back in the mix. Welcome to the era of TON-exclusive Telegram gaming.
Betting with TRUMP
What happens when crypto memes meet online betting? Rivalry, a crypto casino platform, added the Solana-based TRUMP meme coin as a payment method just days after its launch. Timing is everything. The announcement came before Trump’s swearing-in as the 47th U.S. President this Monday (yes, really).

TRUMP token holders can now bet their “Trump bucks” on Rivalry’s platform and earn exclusive perks, including NUTZ token multipliers, until February 1. Rivalry claims to be the first betting site to accept TRUMP tokens, proving once again that meme coins are more than just jokes, they’re utility jokes.
Ronin’s Meme Coin Mania
Ronin, the Ethereum gaming sidechain, is embracing meme culture in full force. Enter Tama Meme, a launchpad for meme coins created by Sky Mavis-backed developer Moku. Think of it as a Ronin-flavored spin on Solana’s Pump.fun. A One-click meme coin creation for anyone with an idea and internet access.
