In an exclusive interview with SiGMA TV at the recent AIBC Eurasia 2025, Tom Brown, Senior Account Manager at Bitpace, discussed the significant role of cryptocurrency in reshaping the gaming industry. With the growing acceptance of crypto across various jurisdictions, the adoption rate among operators and players is gaining momentum, marking a shift from traditional payment methods to more dynamic, decentralized systems. “More and more regions are starting to accept crypto, recognising its potential to enhance both business operations and user experience,” said Brown. As the gaming sector continues to evolve, cryptocurrency is being seen not only as an alternative form of payment but as a valuable asset for businesses looking to stay ahead of the curve.

Brown also highlighted AI’s transformative potential in the gaming landscape, emphasizing its role in improving operational efficiency and decision-making. “AI is growing rapidly, and it’s no longer just about automating tasks; it’s about enhancing decision-making with insights that were previously difficult to gather,” he explained. By leveraging AI, gaming companies can not only improve customer service but also streamline their operations, making the entire experience more seamless and efficient.

While the benefits of these technologies are clear, Brown pointed to ongoing challenges, particularly with regulatory frameworks. “Crypto adoption is growing, but the regulatory environment still varies significantly across jurisdictions, creating hurdles for operators trying to integrate new technologies,” he said. He stressed the need for better communication and collaboration between regulators and industry players to create a more consistent and effective regulatory environment that supports growth and innovation.
