Geneva, Switzerland , Oct. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "1 Billion Players. One Tap to Play." AlphaTON backs gaming where distribution already lives—inside Telegram—pairing funding, launch support, and partner access for BGA studios.
AlphaTON Capital (Nasdaq: ATON) today announced it has joined the Blockchain Game Alliance (BGA) as part of its expanding focus on Telegram/TON gaming. The move follows AlphaTON's recently announced intent to acquire a 51% equity stake in GAMEE—a leading Telegram-first gaming platform within the Animoca Brands ecosystem—together with a planned token purchase, subject to definitive documentation and approvals.
Telegram recently surpassed 1 billion monthly active users, creating the largest crypto-enabled, mobile-first distribution surface for instant games—no downloads, one-tap play. With TON Wallet now available to U.S. users and the TON ecosystem advancing compliance tooling, the platform is rapidly maturing for mainstream and institutional partners.
Brittany Kaiser, CEO, AlphaTON Capital, explained, "Games win when they're easy to find and instant to play. That's Telegram + TON: one tap and you're in. With GAMEE and BGA, we're backing devs who ship fun first and let players earn real value for their skill and time."
"Gaming is now a central cultural and economic driver—and we're on the frontlines of the action!" said Will de'Ath, AlphaTON Capital, in charge of the deal. "Telegram is the app for the people and TON is the blockchain for the people; it's only natural we help build the gaming platform for the people on Web3—where talent can create livelihoods and earn real income from play, skill, and community."
What AlphaTON brings to BGA members
- Growth capital & grants for TON-native games and studios
- Launchpad & incubator support (economy design, LiveOps, analytics)
- Go-to-market & community marketing to Telegram's gaming audiences
- Strategic partnerships & Business Development across wallets, exchanges, infra, and IP
- Direct distribution via Telegram mini-apps and TON wallet rails
"We are thrilled to welcome AlphaTON Capital to BGA. With Telegram/TON and real builder support, they're helping turn the promise of blockchain gaming into mass-market reality." said Sebastien Borget, President, Blockchain Game Alliance.
What's Next for Builders?
AlphaTON will open applications to its TON Gaming Builders track for BGA member studios, offering funding, technical support, and distribution pathways on Telegram. Studios can register interest at alphatoncapital.com (Programs → Gaming).
Why gaming: Gaming today reaches roughly 3.6 billion players worldwide and generates about $189B in annual revenue. In parallel, Web3 gaming has grown to account for a significant share of on-chain activity, with multi-million daily unique active wallets engaging across gaming dapps—evidence of fast-rising on-chain participation. AlphaTON's focus on Telegram/TON gaming aligns these macro trends with instant, mobile-first distribution.
