PANews reported on January 28th that, according to Decrypt, the free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game *Forgotten Runiverse*, built on the Ethereum scaling network Ronin, has announced it will shut down its servers, becoming the latest crypto game to cease operations. The development team stated that while they had worked hard to overcome challenges, maintaining the game's operation was no longer financially feasible, hence the decision to close the live service in its current state. All account data will be preserved, but the game will be inaccessible. The team stated they have not abandoned the project and are evaluating potential future paths.
The game originated from the Ethereum NFT project "Forgotten Runes Wizard's Cult", which was launched globally last year and received investment from Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and others. It was once planned to be released on Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox platforms.



BitGo’s move creates further competition in a burgeoning European crypto market that is expected to generate $26 billion revenue this year, according to one estimate. BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
