In Brief
- Mythical Games has initiated the transfer of FIFA Rivals’ NFTs to the Pulse marketplace, utilizing the stablecoin USDC.
- The transition aligns with preparations for the upcoming 2026 World Cup, emphasizing its importance for Mythical Games.
- The switch to a stablecoin system aims to provide transaction stability and preserve asset value amid the recent volatility of the MYTH token.
NFT Migration for FIFA Rivals
Mythical Games has embarked on the migration of its FIFA Rivals‘ NFTs to its more stable, stablecoin-based Pulse marketplace. The process began on March 5 and is expected to conclude by March 6. With this move, all existing marketplace listings will need to be relocated to the new platform.
Transition to Stablecoin
The migration to the Pulse platform is substantially motivated by the need to replace the previously used volatile MYTH token with the more stable USDC coin. The USDC operates on the Polkadot-based Mythos blockchain. Over the past year, the value of the MYTH token plummeted by 96%, rendering the trading of NFTs nearly unprofitable. The incorporation of USDC is aimed to facilitate “faster transactions, improved pricing stability through USDC, and an overall enhanced marketplace experience for Rivals players,” according to Mythical Games.
Previous Migrations and Tournament Support
Prior to FIFA Rivals, Mythical Games successfully transitioned other collections, including Blankos and Pudgy Party, to the Pulse platform. This platform also includes the Pulse Arena tournament system, which features both free and paid competitions, offering players opportunities to win prizes.
Backdrop of the 2026 World Cup
As the 2026 World Cup draws nearer, the FIFA Rivals game has been marked as a significant project for Mythical Games. The company is optimistic that the stabilization of the game’s economy facilitated by this strategic migration will boost player engagement. Since its launch, FIFA Rivals has surpassed 1 million downloads in just seven weeks from the app store.
By transitioning their gaming platforms to utilize stablecoin, Mythical Games aims to meet the market’s demands for more financially stable and dependable digital asset transactions, enhancing the overall gaming experience for participants.
