“X Empire” and “Rocky Rabbit” Tokens Hit All-Time Highs as Tap-to-Earn Games Boom on Telegram

‘X Empire’ and ‘Rocky Rabbit’ Telegram Game Tokens Soar to New Heights

In the world of crypto, it’s not just Bitcoin that’s capturing attention. Recently, game-related tokens launched as Telegram mini apps have surged in value, with “X Empire” and “Rocky Rabbit” leading the pack. The Elon Musk-themed X Empire token and the combat-based Rocky Rabbit token both hit record highs over the weekend, riding the wave of fresh enthusiasm around tap-to-earn games.

The Rise of Tap-to-Earn Games on Telegram

This year, the tap-to-earn game model has taken off on Telegram, with developers launching mini apps that invite players to simply tap the screen to earn in-game points or coins. This in-game progress is often rewarded later with an airdrop of crypto tokens after the game’s token officially launches, providing a potentially lucrative incentive for players.

But it’s been a rocky road for many of these tokens post-launch. Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) and Catizen (CATI), for instance, saw sharp declines, dropping by 50% shortly after debuting. Even X Empire, which began with high hopes, initially lost 55% of its value. Yet, Election Day last week turned out to be a surprising catalyst for these tokens.

X Empire Surges with Election-Day Drama

X Empire’s token price exploded when Donald Trump won reelection, rising in sync with speculation around Elon Musk’s public support for Trump’s campaign. Though Musk is not officially linked to the game, his high-profile political stance appeared to spark fresh interest in X Empire’s token. X Empire quickly hit a new all-time high last week, briefly pulling back before surging even higher on Sunday.

Pre-election, X Empire’s token was valued at just $0.00003719, but it skyrocketed to $0.00054 after Trump’s victory—a staggering 1,370% gain in just days. This eye-catching rally underscored how quickly crypto prices can respond to political events and the celebrity factor in the market.

Rocky Rabbit and the RabBitcoin Surge

Rocky Rabbit, another Telegram game, also saw its token RabBitcoin (RBTC) reach a new peak, although its rise wasn’t driven by the same political hype. Still, RBTC saw strong price movement from Sunday through Monday, topping out at $0.00002435—its highest value to date.

What fueled this rise remains uncertain, though broader gains across the Telegram game token sector may have given it a lift. The recent CoinGecko report showed the Telegram game token sector up by 16.2% in 24 hours, with RBTC at the forefront. The token’s name, invoking Bitcoin, may also have helped draw interest from crypto enthusiasts seeking novelty tokens.

Recent Corrections Amid Market Cooling

As of this writing, both tokens have seen minor corrections after their peak rallies. X Empire is now trading at $0.00035, while Rocky Rabbit’s RabBitcoin has slipped to $0.000014. Despite these pullbacks, both tokens remain significantly elevated compared to their previous trading ranges.

The Broader Trend in Tap-to-Earn Tokens

Hamster Kombat (HMSTR), another major tap-to-earn game token, is up 91% over the past week as players await the game’s next season. Even with these gains, HMSTR’s value is still below its launch price of around $0.01, currently trading at approximately $0.0045—a reminder that high volatility is a hallmark of these tokens.

Other noteworthy moves include Notcoin (NOT) with a 30% rise, Catizen (CATI) up 43%, and Toncoin—the native token of The Open Network (TON), the blockchain behind many Telegram mini-apps—rising 13%.

These movements highlight the staying power of tap-to-earn games on Telegram, with their ability to capture player engagement and investor interest alike. As Telegram continues to grow as a crypto ecosystem, the evolving fortunes of tokens like X Empire and Rocky Rabbit may well become a bellwether for future innovation and volatility in the space.
