• WINR Protocol taps double-digit gains today, up 22% at the time of writing.
• Gains of nearly 60% in the past month have come amid key network developments.
• The protocol recently burned 70 million WINR tokens and launched the first on-chain 1000x Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) futures.

WINR Protocol, a decentralised iGaming infrastructure platform powered by the WINR token, has seen significant market traction in the past week. Today, the price of the protocol’s native token jumped more than 22% in 24 hours to hit its highest price level since August.

WINR was trading around $0.05 at the time of writing, up 37% this past week and nearly +60% in the past 30 days. The token was however 57% down since its all-time high above $0.11 reached on March 21 this year.

The recent gains have come amid a series of major developments for the platform. Is this why WINR price has been rising? Let’s have a look.

Why is WINR Protocol price rising?

Cryptocurrencies saw a massive spike in volatility early this week, with mega cap altcoins catapulted to key levels after Bitcoin’s increase to $35,000. This outlook could have aided WINR bulls.

However, the altcoin appears to have been boosted by the platform’s several development milestones. Earlier this month, the protocol burned 70 million WINR tokens, permanently removing 7% of its maximum supply from circulation. 

A total of 70,000,000 WINR, which accounts for 7% of the maximum supply, has been permanently burned.

Last week, the Arbitrum community voted to allow the Arbitrum Foundation grant WINR 462,000 ARB to incentivize developer activity.

These were then followed by this week’s release of the first on-chain 1000x Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) futures.  The WINR Chain also announced on October 26 that its team was looking at becoming the “go-to execution layer for decentralized iGaming.”

“With the WINR Game Engine, game providers can build their game logic on smart contracts and seamlessly integrate data with existing UIs,” the platform wrote in an announcement on X.
