Thank you to the GameStop community as well. The strongest and most positive group of people I know. Your energy and enthusiasm was like the fuel that kept the team moving.

Gamestop continues to expand in the crypto industry. The company announced a few months ago that it had launched the public beta of the NFT marketplace. However, it has launched a self-custodial Ethereum wallet to connect to the new market. The company stated that it will not add more features to support web3 games, more developers and Ethereum.
The company recently announced that it has signed an agreement with FTX to include FTX gift cards in some of its stores.
