The collaboration between FIFA and Mythical Games to launch FIFA Rivals marks a significant development in the Web3 gaming landscape, aiming to attract over 100 million gamers through its free-to-play soccer gameplay. Set for a summer 2025 release, the game allows players to manage soccer clubs and compete in real-time, leveraging the Mythos blockchain to enable ownership of in-game assets and participation in a play-to-earn economy. This partnership reflects a broader trend of sports organizations engaging with blockchain technology to enhance fan experiences and monetize gaming interactions.

The new wealth record has been driven by a Tesla stock surge late last week and a $50 billion funding round for Musk’s AI startup.
