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.

SEC Approves Generic ETF Standards for Digital Assets Market

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved new rules for listing Commodity-Based Trust Shares, which now cover digital assets, including cryptocurrencies. The decision will now make it easier and faster for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to get approved, allowing for more assets beyond just Bitcoin and Ethereum, while still protecting investors.  This recently announced action, under the leadership of Chairman Paul Atkins, represents a shift from previous approaches, making the market more transparent and more attractive to investors. SEC’s Landmark Rule Change The SEC’s new rules apply to major stock exchanges like Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, and Cboe BZX. These rules enable the listing and trading of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other similar products that hold real commodities, including digital assets, without requiring separate approval for each one. Qualifying security products can now be approved more quickly under Rule 19b-4(e). If specific requirements are met, the approval process can be completed in as little as 75 days. This method involves rigorous market monitoring, strict custody rules, and enhanced disclosures. To qualify for the faster process, a digital asset must be traded on a regulated market and should have at least six months of trading history on a designated futures market. Alternatively, it can be part of an existing ETF with at least 40% of its net asset value (NAV) in that asset. Impact on Digital Assets Market The change is essential because it shows that the SEC is being less cautious about crypto ETFs. In the past, the SEC took a long time to review these products because it was worried about market manipulation and wanted to protect investors. Now, new general standards will allow more crypto products to be approved without needing individual reviews for each one. The U.S. is moving closer to the European Union’s MiCA framework and Hong Kong’s crypto licensing rules. The shift will help to strengthen the U.S.’s role in regulating digital assets. Under Chairman Paul Atkins, the government has made it easier for investors in the crypto space by lowering regulatory hurdles. For example, earlier this month, in July, the SEC provided clear rules about what must be disclosed for crypto exchange-traded products. This guidance clarifies how federal securities laws apply, encouraging innovation while remaining compliant.  These actions, under Atkins’ leadership, represent a shift from previous approaches, making the market more transparent and more attractive for investors.
