$RUBY Token Staking and Farming Live on Multiple Platforms
Christchurch, New Zealand–(Newsfile Corp. – March 29, 2022) – The Ruby Play Network is pleased to announce the launch of staking and farming opportunities for the RUBY token, in partnership with blockchain gaming counterparts – Strawberry. The $RUBY token can now be staked and farmed through a variety of third party platforms, with attractive APR and APY available, depending on number of coins, staked terms and the users’ staking platform of choice. At time of writing, the current APY for Rubies on ApeSwap is 281%.
The partnership with Strawberry allows for defi and blockchain gaming opportunities to be realised, with Strawberry providing liquidity to all DeFi markets. With how compliant the initial RUBY private sale needed to be, the opening of DeFi markets through Strawberry provides further passive income options for investors, without the Ruby Play Network offering the staking facility directly.

Ruby Vault, ApeSwap & ACY: RUBY Staking Options
The $RUBY token is a decentralized cryptocurrency that relies on Proof-of-Stake consensus in order to facilitate the movement of money on the blockchain. Therefore, staking tokens can be a way for investors to “lock” up their tokens for a chosen period of time, and earn crypto rewards based on the amount of transactions their tokens have helped facilitate.
The Ruby Vault provides a staking option within the platform interface. Users are given the ability to connect their chosen wallet, and then choose from a variety of staking periods. There are a few options available here, with staking APY doubled for the first 30 days on the platform. Further staking periods of 90, 180 and 360 days can be selected in line with user choice. Although the terms are in place, users can unstake at any time with complete flexibility.
ApeSwap Finance, provides more a “degen” option, with some decent APYs available through its Jungle Farms. Using these options, users can either stake RUBY tokens, or LPs. In terms of centralized exchanges, Bitrue is offering 8% APR through its PowerPiggy proposition – allowing users of the CEX to stake a certain amount of RUBY per day before the cap is fulfilled. The 8% APR offered on Bitrue is one of the highest APR’s amongst the staking offerings on Bitrue Power Piggy at present.
Why does Strawberry provide Staking and Farming for $RUBY?
Whilst having a plethora of crypto casino-style games and features ready-to-play, Strawberry Sweeps is also a vital partner to the Ruby Play Network within DeFi markets. When looking at compliance, and particularly, securities offerings, a lot of legal precedent whereby projects are caught foul of securities law is due to direct staking offerings. Think Coinbase Lend, whereby the platform itself offered the staking facility.
Enter Strawberry, who have provided liquidity to both PancakeSwap and Apeswap, in order to give further accessibility to the $RUBY token. This allows the Ruby Play Network to comply with the New Zealand Government rules, as it does not directly offer staking of its token. Strawberry purchased a large amount of RUBYs, with the view to then use these RUBYs as liquidity for DeFi markets.
Post Launch Plans for the Network
Since its launch on the 15th of March, the $RUBY token has seemingly found support at around the 0.0068 mark. Going forward, major focus will be placed into establishing daily utility of the $RUBY token – outside just buying and selling. The staking and farming options should be just the start, with further gaming options including the rollout of Strawberry Sweeps to international markets – soon to take place.
In line with this, the website will be refreshed with user-focused content, moving away from the institutional and platform-based messaging from months prior. New pages for staking, farming, how to buy, and a complete homepage redesign are soon-to-be released, as driving holders and volume is now the main aim. Notable success has already been achieved in a short time, with the Ruby Play Network now appearing on Page 1 of Google Search for “Play To Earn” searches.
The Ruby Play Network will soon be upgraded to feature new games, some P2E and some pay to play, as the proposition looks to increase its gaming offering to international markets.

Blocks & Headlines: Today in Blockchain – April 25, 2025 | BitNile, Dutch Blockchain Week, Citigroup, Philippine Blockchain Week, D.O.G.E Foundation

Blockchain’s metamorphosis from niche ledger technology to the backbone of Web3 has never been more evident. Today, we cover five stories that illustrate the evolving ecosystem: a gaming platform issuing its own token on Solana; Europe’s marquee Web3 summit; a major bank forecasting a “ChatGPT moment” for blockchain; a Southeast Asian conference aimed at busting crypto myths; and a foundation rebuilding blockchain from the ground up to solve scalability. Each development—whether product launch, industry gathering, macro forecast, educational initiative, or infrastructure innovation—offers a window into the trends shaping decentralized finance, NFTs, DeFi, and beyond.
1. BitNile.com to Launch Nile Coin on Solana
News Summary
Hyperscale Data’s subsidiary BitNile.com will introduce the Nile Coin on Solana starting May 1, 2025. The U.S.–based social gaming site chose Solana for its high throughput and low fees, aiming to enhance in-game economies, reward engagement, and deliver seamless micro-transactions. Details on tokenomics and governance are forthcoming, but management touts Nile Coin as a cornerstone of future gaming experiences.

Analysis & Commentary
Launching a proprietary token underscores two converging trends: the gamification of finance and finance-ification of gaming. By minting Nile Coin, BitNile.com taps into DeFi mechanics—staking, liquidity pools, NFT rewards—while leveraging Solana’s scalability. Strategically, BitNile.com positions itself for partnerships with NFT marketplaces and DeFi protocols, potentially opening secondary markets for in-game assets and generating new revenue streams beyond ad sales or subscription fees.
2. Dutch Blockchain Week 2025 Gears Up in Amsterdam
News Summary
From May 19–25, Amsterdam will host the sixth annual Dutch Blockchain Week, culminating in the two-day summit (May 21–22) at De Meervaart. Tier 1 exchanges (Bitvavo, Kraken, Coinbase), Web3 pioneers (WOW.ai, Blockrise), regulators (European Commission, De Nederlandsche Bank), and industry partners (Mastercard, Deloitte) will convene. Side events range from AI-powered hackathons tackling compliance to padel networking meetups—underscoring the event’s blend of technology, policy, and community.

Analysis & Commentary
Dutch Blockchain Week typifies the maturation of blockchain conferences into multidisciplinary forums. Beyond token talk and yield farming, panels on regulation, institutional adoption, and security reflect Web3’s integration into mainstream finance. Anticipate announcements on CBDC pilots, DeFi compliance frameworks, and cross-chain interoperability projects that may emerge from the Block & Order Hackathon.
3. Citigroup Predicts Blockchain’s “ChatGPT Moment”
News Summary
In an April 23 report, Citigroup analysts argue that 2025 could be blockchain’s “ChatGPT moment,” driven by regulatory clarity around stablecoins and integration with traditional financial systems. They forecast stablecoin market capitalization ballooning to $1.6 trillion (base case) or as much as $3.7 trillion (bull case) by 2030—anchored by dollar-denominated issuers and collateralized with U.S. Treasuries. Regulatory frameworks like the GENIUS Act could catalyze adoption among banks and fintechs.

Analysis & Commentary
Drawing parallels to generative AI’s explosive growth, Citigroup envisions a tipping point where blockchain moves from experimental to essential infrastructure. Successful integration will hinge on robust compliance tools, auditability, and clear governance models. Enterprise blockchain vendors should prepare for surging demand in tokenized payments, on-chain settlements, and embedded DeFi rails within legacy systems.
4. Philippine Blockchain Week 2025 Debunks Crypto Myths

Analysis & Commentary
PBW exemplifies how emerging markets leverage education to accelerate Web3 adoption responsibly. By engaging regulators early, PBW can shape balanced frameworks that encourage innovation while protecting consumers—an instructive model for markets wrestling with both hype and skepticism.
