Bearish Invades GIGACHADBAT: The Big Four Trigger a High-Stakes CHAD Raid

3 min read
  • Web3 gaming publisher, YGG Play, has launched a crossover event in which players can face-off against popular Bearish characters in their baseball-themed game, GIGACHADBAT.
  • The event which runs from January 31 to February 3, allows players to earn double-rewards on GIGACHADBAT’s play-to-airdrop (P2A) leaderboards.
  • The event coincides with the February 6 launch of GIGACHADBAT’s in-game utility and rewards token, $CHAD, with players ranked higher on the P2A leaderboard standing to receive a larger airdrop.

Web3 gaming publisher YGG Play has refreshed its degen-focussed offerings, launching an IP-crossover event which sees its hit baseball-themed game GIGACHADBAT join forces with well-known NFT collection and degen IP, Bearish.

From January 31 until February 3, four of Bearish’s most well-known characters: Barry ‘The OG’, Bella ‘The Heartbreaker’, Scotty ‘The Street Bear’ and Toli ‘The Chaos King’ will enter GIGACHADBAT as part of a limited-time Boss Raid. During the event, players will earn double rewards points towards their GIGACHADBAT play-to-airdrop (P2A) leaderboard ranking.

“Partnering with YGG Play is about plugging into an ecosystem that understands games, communities, and how to scale them globally,” Toli, the co-founder of Bearish, said in a statement. 

“YGG knows how to turn strong IP into addictive gameplay, and CHAD Raids bring Bearish into GIGACHADBAT in a way that’s native to the gameplay itself.”

Event Comes as GIGACHADBAT Prepares Token Launch

The crossover event comes as YGG Play prepares for the February 6 launch of GIGACHADBAT’s $CHAD token. $CHAD is described by YGG Play as being an in-game utility and reward token that “unlocks powerful in-game benefits for GIGACHADBAT players.” 

Staking the token will allow players to receive rewards like more powerful bats and balls and other gameplay perks.

According to YGG Play, $CHAD will remain DeFi only, with no plans to pursue centralised exchange (CEX) listings of the token. The broader YGG Play ecosystem already has another token with CEX listings, $YGG. $YGG will remain the ecosystem’s main token, with $CHAD being used specifically for GIGACHADBAT.

The event also coincides with the launch of Bearish’s $BURR token, a hybrid ERC-404 asset that will be used within the Bearish ecosystem.

YGG Games said there are plans to expand its collaboration with Bearish throughout 2026, with a similar crossover event planned in March involving another YGG Play game, LOL Land Board.

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

The post Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor and a group of crypto executives met in Washington, D.C. yesterday to push for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill (the BITCOIN Act), which would see the U.S. acquire up to 1M $BTC over five years. With Bitcoin being positioned yet again as a cornerstone of national monetary policy, many investors are turning their eyes to projects that lean into this narrative – altcoins, meme coins, and presales that could ride on the same wave. Read on for three of the best crypto projects that seem especially well‐suited to benefit from this macro shift:  Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Remittix. These projects stand out for having a strong use case and high adoption potential, especially given the push for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve.   Why the Bitcoin Reserve Bill Matters for Crypto Markets The strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill could mark a turning point for the U.S. approach to digital assets. The proposal would see America build a long-term Bitcoin reserve by acquiring up to one million $BTC over five years. To make this happen, lawmakers are exploring creative funding methods such as revaluing old gold certificates. The plan also leans on confiscated Bitcoin already held by the government, worth an estimated $15–20B. This isn’t just a headline for policy wonks. It signals that Bitcoin is moving from the margins into the core of financial strategy. Industry figures like Michael Saylor, Senator Cynthia Lummis, and Marathon Digital’s Fred Thiel are all backing the bill. They see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a hedge against systemic risks. For the wider crypto market, this opens the door for projects tied to Bitcoin and the infrastructure that supports it. 1.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
