The PlayDoge ($PLAY) presale has raised $3 million within its opening two weeks, reflecting electric excitement about the project’s utility-driven use case.
Launched on the Binance Smart Chain, PlayDoge is a Play-to-Earn (P2E) meme coin spearheaded by a dog-themed mascot.
PlayDoge enters the meme coin arena as Floki’s biggest rival
With P2E utility as the central talking point in PlayDoge’s narrative, the project is easily distinguishable from most of its peers.
But one competitor that comes to mind is Floki.
Like PlayDoge, Floki is a P2E meme coin on the BSC network.
Floki has enjoyed exponential price growth recently, up by 68% this month and 964% this year. This decisively outpaces the market’s top dogs Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, which are up 117% and 201% this year.
But Floki’s market cap is deep into the multi-billions, so demand is emerging for a lower market cap alternative that could yield outsized gains.
This is where PlayDoge comes in – a fresher and more energetic project with a significantly lower valuation.
Inspired by the hit 1990s Tamagotchi game that sold 82 million units, PlayDoge is a pet companion game where users care for their pet dog, ensuring it is fed, rested, and entertained.
Users will earn XP for engaging with their pets and completing minigames, which helps them climb the project’s leaderboard and provides more $PLAY rewards.
But here’s the kicker – users must hold $PLAY to receive the token rewards.
While anyone can enjoy the game for free, the $PLAY token is the cost of entry to the P2E layer, enabling the token’s demand to grow alongside the platform’s popularity.
Once users receive $PLAY rewards, they can cash them out for other cryptocurrencies, make in-game purchases, or stake them.
Staking is already live and currently offers approximately a 2,000% APY.
As per its website, the PlayDoge game will launch on the App Store and Google Play Store.
PlayDoge’s $3M total raise causes a buzz; analyst thinks $PLAY can 10x
With $3 million raised, the market has certainly taken note of PlayDoge’s compelling use case.
But it’s not only investors who are interested in the project.
Well-known market commentator Jacob Bury recently covered the presale, speculating it holds 10x potential.
Bury underscored that the project’s inherent utility is a huge advantage over other meme coins that rely on speculative-driven demand for price growth.
Meanwhile, the Crypto News YouTube channel and Matthew Perry have also backed the presale as having high potential.
Adding to the project’s bullish precedent, leading crypto media outlets, including Bitcoin.com, CryptoPotato, and The Tech Report, have all featured the project.
With so much media and analyst coverage, there’s every chance that PlayDoge’s notoriety could continue to grow, laying the way for an explosive initial exchange offering (IEO).
The gaming meta could be next to explode after meme coins
It is no secret that meme coins have provided some of crypto’s most outrageous returns this year. And while new and exciting meme coins are emerging daily, the prominence of gaming is also rising.
Indeed, we have seen Floki outperform the meme coin market, with its P2E approach likely adding to its performance.
And that’s not to mention a Precedence Research forecast that predicts the gaming market will grow to over $116 billion by 2032.
So combining the high-octane enigma of meme coins with the utility of P2E gaming, PlayDoge is a force to be reckoned with.
What’s more, by embracing the zeitgeist of the original Tamagotchi game, PlayDoge’s blockchain-based incentivized reboot will appease a vast range of market participants.
Those reminiscent of the original model, users interested in P2E gaming, meme coin traders, and utility-seeking investors will all be attracted to this project.
Per its website, a whopping 50% of tokens have been earmarked for the presale. Another 6.5% is allocated to community rewards, 11.5% to exchange liquidity, 10.5% to marketing, 10.5% to project funds, and 12% to staking.
The current $PLAY price is $0.00504, but this will rise throughout the presale, with the next uptick in 22 hours.
