XYZVerse is moving into esports. The crypto project announced the launch of its Counter-Strike 2 League, backed by a prize pool worth more than 5.5 million in XYZ tokens. The initiative follows a presale that raised over $15 million through a staged rollout aimed at retail investors.
Esports on Blockchain
The league will field ten teams. Each team will include three key opinion leaders, one project founder, and one community member selected by lottery. Access costs 100 USDT, which gives fans the ability to vote on maps, make winner predictions, and gain access to collectibles and match replays. Pass holders are also eligible for the community slot in a team.
Matches will be played under Counter-Strike’s competitive rules. A live counter on the official website will track the prize pool. Funding is split between $500,000 in base cash, a 5 million grant of XYZ tokens, and 10% of access pass sales. The top three teams will receive 70%, 20% and 10% of the pool.
The company expects more than 1 million viewers across streams in the first season. That would position the league as one of the largest early tests of blockchain-based esports.
From Meme Token to Broader Ecosystem
XYZVerse began as a meme coin but is expanding into a broader platform. The project now spans Telegram-based crypto games, airdrop programs, and staking applications. It has also linked with bookmaker. XYZ, a crypto sportsbook.
Holders of the token receive access to betting rewards, play-to-earn opportunities, and direct involvement in events such as the CS2 League. The strategy sets XYZVerse apart from meme tokens that rely only on speculative momentum.
Presale Structure
The presale used a 15-stage model starting at $0.0001 per token. Each stage sold out. In total, the process has raised more than $15 million. Early investors bought at deep discounts while later stages helped establish a long-term base.
The tiered structure contrasts with the one-off fundraising models that many meme projects employ. It also provided a visible signal of steady demand from retail participants.
Tokenomics and Audit
XYZVerse commissioned an audit from Pessimistic, a blockchain security firm. The report found the smart contract to be secure, efficient and without critical vulnerabilities. The findings were published publicly.
The token supply is fixed at 100 billion. Roughly 18% was sold during the presale and a similar share is set aside for burning. Thirty percent is split between marketing and liquidity. Ten percent each goes to ecosystem development, airdrops, and the team, while 5% is reserved for influencers. More than 40% of the supply is allocated to community-related initiatives.
Positioning
With the CS2 League as its flagship, XYZVerse is trying to merge meme coin culture with esports and crypto participation. The mix of a large prize pool, onchain infrastructure, and a completed presale sets the project apart from many short-lived tokens. Whether it can sustain that momentum will depend on execution, market interest, and the ability to keep players and investors engaged.
