Here’s why Gamium price rallied 440% overnight: Meta, Telefonica partnership 

Gamium’s native token GMM surged 440% to $0.0028 in response to the project’s announcement of a deal with social media giant Meta (META) and telecom giant Telefonica (TEF). 

Gamium will work with both technology giants on their Metaverse Activation Program and help scale web-3 startups, according to the recent announcement. All startups supported by the project will receive commercial support from both Meta and Telefonica. 

Both Meta and Telefonica have been interested in the Web3 industry for a while now, with Meta’s plan to develop its own cryptocurrency Diem and Telefonica’s investment in a Spanish exchange. 

A majority of GMM trade volume comes from KuCoin, PancakeSwap and Gate.io. The token has a market capitalization of $32.5 million, based on data from CoinMarketCap. 

Is the metaverse narrative making a comeback?

The metaverse narrative first gained popularity when Meta announced its earnings report in February 2023. Several metaverse tokens witnessed a double-digit rally in response to Meta’s commitment to building the metaverse.

The metaverse narrative is likely gathering steam again with Meta’s commitment to support web3 startups in the ecosystem, through incubation and partnerships.
