<p>Stablecoins have dominated the year 2025, and they may also emerge as practical tools for game companies, according to a comprehensive report from the Blockchain Game Alliance.</p><p>The report includes insights from industry leaders, including NEXUS CEO Henry Chang and contributors from Polygon Labs and WalletConnect. Throughout the&nbsp;<a href="https://blockchaingamealliance.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/BGA-Stablecoins-Gaming-Report.pdf">BGA Stablecoins Gaming Report</a>, experts share how stablecoins can solve real problems that hold back the gaming industry.</p><h2>The Platform Tax Problem</h2><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:71.85%;"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/stablecoins_in_gaming_2_bccc7a018e.jpg" alt="Stablecoins in gaming screenshot" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/stablecoins_in_gaming_2_bccc7a018e.jpg 226w, https://assets.funjible.games/stablecoins_in_gaming_2_bccc7a018e.jpg 500w" sizes="100vw"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mobile game developers currently lose up to 30 percent of their revenue to platform fees on iOS and Google Play. The report estimates that a 10-point reduction in App Store fees would add billions of dollars to publishers' and game developers' revenue.</p><p>There have also been legal actions in this regard, including Epic Games' lawsuit against Apple and Google. The developer’s legal victories forced Android to open distribution to rival app stores over three years, while EU regulations pressure Apple to loosen terms in Europe.</p><p>Considering stablecoins bypass traditional payment processors entirely, they can emerge as valuable solutions for game developers looking to avoid predatory cuts present in the industry.</p><h2>Learning from Roblox and Fortnite</h2><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:70.09%;"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/stablecoins_in_gaming_3_694de3488f.jpg" alt="Stablecoins in gaming screenshot" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/stablecoins_in_gaming_3_694de3488f.jpg 226w, https://assets.funjible.games/stablecoins_in_gaming_3_694de3488f.jpg 500w" sizes="100vw"></figure><p>The report extensively analyzes why Roblox and Fortnite succeeded with stable virtual currencies while early blockchain games like Axie Infinity collapsed, in terms of value. Experts believe that predictable pricing builds trust and retention.</p><p>Roblox's top creators earn millions annually because Robux maintains consistent value, so players know exactly what they're buying. Despite achieving great success in 2021, Axie Infinity’s in-game token lost more than 99 percent of its value from peak valuations, which didn’t help the game’s case.</p><h2>Regulative Clarity</h2><p>The report frames the U.S. GENIUS Act as a positive for the gaming industry. The federal standards for stablecoin issuers can help developers in emerging markets like Brazil and the Philippines, as they would gain access to faster cross-border payouts.</p><p>Traditional card payments can lose 6-10 percent to processing fees, which further supports the case for stablecoins in payments.</p><p>However, the user experience remains the catch. Most users don’t want to deal with the hassle of seed phrases or network switching. Infrastructure providers like Sequence now offer embedded wallets that handle stablecoin transactions invisibly, and there is a clear&nbsp;<a href="https://funjible.games/news/funjible-games-report-2025-crypto-gaming-trends">trend</a> toward making crypto payments as seamless as possible.</p><p>Overall, the crypto and stablecoin industries have much to gain by becoming a solid alternative to globally accepted payment processors. Cutting out the middlemen could also lead to lower prices for users, while developers get access to more capital that can be used to fuel new projects.</p><div class="raw-html-embed">
