CROSS Protocol Completes $10M Private Sale, Sets Equal Pricing for Public Offering

Published

on

By

SEOUL, South Korea, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CROSS Protocol, a blockchain gaming pioneer, has secured $10 million in its private token sale while establishing an unprecedented equal pricing model for all investors.

The company sold 100 million tokens—10% of its planned 1 billion supply—at $0.10 per token, a price that will remain consistent for its upcoming public sale.

“It’s fair that passionate early investors pay the same, whether private or public,” said NEXUS CEO Henry Chang in a statement on X. This approach marks a significant departure from industry norms, where early private investors typically receive substantial discounts.

While many crypto projects offer discounted rates during private sales, CROSS Protocol is challenging this norm by ensuring a level playing field for all participants. This commitment to fairness and trust underpins the project’s transparent and equitable approach to ecosystem development.

Global crypto outlet BeInCrypto recently highlighted CROSS Protocol’s readiness to outpace traditional blockchain gaming projects, pointing to the project’s developer-friendly SDK, robust API, and comprehensive framework for building in-game economies as key differentiators.

Industry experts are closely watching CROSS as it gears up for its public sale and subsequent distribution strategy. “Actions speak louder than words.” CEO Chang tweeted, underscoring the rapid expansion and decisive execution of the CROSS ecosystem.

As CROSS prepares to make its mark on the blockchain gaming market with a fair pricing model and robust developer support, the crypto community eagerly anticipates its next steps.

About CROSS

Developed by NEXUS, a multi-platform gaming provider, and governed by the Switzerland-based non-profit Opengame Foundation, the protocol supports a system of verifiable digital ownership. Its native token is used to facilitate on-chain in-game transactions within a transparent framework aimed at aligning the interests of developers and players across both traditional and blockchain-based gaming environments.
