finews.com has learned that Bitcoin Suisse will offer staking — the practice of locking up cryptocurrency to earn rewards while helping secure a blockchain network — as well as trading and custody services for MYTH. The company joins the Mythos Network as a strategic validator, effectively helping run and secure the system in exchange for rewards.

This move underscores Bitcoin Suisse’s ambition to strengthen its institutional services. The Zug-based firm recently reported a 2024 profit of 16 million Swiss francs, as finews.com reported.

«Natural Fit»

«It is an honor to provide the staking infrastructure to help support a platform of the ambition and scale of Mythical Games, a company that is truly pushing the frontiers of Web3 adoption,» said Yves Holenstein, Head of Staking at Bitcoin Suisse. «The partnership is a testament to our ability to deliver scalable, institutional-grade staking solutions for our clients in high-growth segments.»

Mythical Games’ founder John Linden added: «Bitcoin Suisse has a proven track record of providing highly secure, robust and reliable staking solutions at scale. They were a natural fit for the Mythos Network, a platform that secures thousands of GameFi transactions every day.»

GameFi Pioneer

Mythical Games is a prominent player in the Web3 gaming space, known for titles like NFL Rivals and Nitro Nation. The officially licensed NFL mobile game has already surpassed 5 million downloads. This summer, a highly anticipated soccer equivalent, FIFA Rivals, will hit the market.

These games run on the Mythos Network, a Web3 platform built on Polkadot — a blockchain framework designed to connect different blockchains. The Mythos Network enables NFT-based game economies, allowing players to own and trade in-game items such as characters, vehicles, or power-ups.

GameFi and Gamification

This model is part of the emerging «GameFi" trend, short for «game finance.» In essence, GameFi merges gaming with decentralized finance (DeFi), turning gaming into a potentially profitable activity for players. Through gamification — using game-like reward systems — players can earn or trade value, giving them real economic incentives to play.

The MYTH token lies at the heart of this ecosystem, facilitating secure GameFi transactions and even enabling token holders to participate in governance votes that shape the network’s future.
