The metaverse firm sees this as an opportunity to help gaming creators transition from Web2 platforms into the Web3 space.

Overdare CEO Henry Park expressed the team’s excitement for the partnership with Circle. The executive praised the stablecoin issuer’s regulatory compliance and said the partnership would “guarantee creators reliable access to their earnings.”


Circle co-founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire expressed his belief that the collaboration could contribute to shaping the “future of digital entertainment” and foster a Web3 environment for everyone. Allaire also highlighted that they are excited to provide Web3 wallets and USDC payout support to Overdare to help the creator economy.


The latest development in Overdare comes amid an uptick in interest in blockchain gaming tokens. On Feb. 22, Web3 game Pixel’s crypto token approached a valuation of $2.7 billion after it got listed on the crypto exchange Binance. By then, the PIXEL token reached a high of $0.53, a more than 10x gain from its listing price of $0.04.
