Steam Exchange Partners with Sheridan College Students to Help Build An Open-World Educational Metaverse Focused on Digital Assets

Steam Exchange, a homegrown Canadian cryptocurrency start-up, has partnered with Sheridan's Honours Bachelor of Game Design co-op program to facilitate the buildout of an open-world educational metaverse. Users will have access to a wide range of learning modules that will be presented through gamification and AI learning. As a world-renowned leader in digital media and animation, Sheridan is uniquely positioned to educate the next generation of game designers. This partnership enables Steam Exchange to leverage the pool of talent, experience, and resources available at Sheridan, while providing real world experience and exposure to their students. The on-boarded students will work closely with Steam Exchange's Development and Leadership team to facilitate the buildout of a preliminary open-world concept that will be further developed as integrations allow.

Neville Divecha, Co-founder & President of Steam Exchange mentions, "Learning and education is at the forefront of our guiding principles. We're all about providing our users with the information they require to make the most informed decisions. This may sound ambitious, but at Steam Exchange, we want to play our role in creating the next generation of 'smarter' investors and this ties in closely with our educational modules. Think about providing learning resources and opportunities across various age demographics - we do this in the form of our open-world, AI powered metaverse for the younger as well as millennial, and gen z age groups to provide a sense of nostalgia along with a dose of digital asset education. Active, in-person learning at our upcoming physical locations for the crypto-curious and those that prefer an in-person learning format, and of course, your traditional text, video, and audio means for everyone else in between. The brand identity and loyalty that we build through these initiatives are all auxiliary bonuses."

The Steam Exchange team also mentions that they plan on having an initial version of this metaverse accessible to their community in the upcoming months. Neville goes on to say, "There's going to be continual development on this initiative, especially as we build out our AI learning element with another partner university. We are excited to announce this long-term partnership with Sheridan and to onboard their students into our organization. We hope to leverage the experience of the entire Honours Bachelor of Game Design program. This is a much needed effort to help bridge the vast educational gap that currently exists in the digital asset realm."

GameStop Frenzy Cools, E*Trade Considers Roaring Kitty Ban

GameStop (NYSE:GME) continues to cool following a trading frenzy that drove shares up by 75 percent between the close of trading last Friday (May 31) and the start of trading on Monday (June 3).

The brief rally, which took GameStop shares to US$40.09 on Monday morning, was sparked by a Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) post made late Sunday (June 2) by an account tied to the video game retailer's most prominent supporter, Keith Gill.

Gill, who ignited the meme stock craze in 2021 and is known as Roaring Kitty on other platforms, posted a screenshot on Reddit's Superstonk subreddit that shows a purported US$175 million position in GameStop shares and call options.

Top Trends Shaping the Canadian iGaming Market

From emerging technologies to evolving regulations, the trajectory of iGaming has changed substantially in recent years as the market has experienced significant growth.

In 2022, Ontario's provincial government introduced game-changing legislation that established a regulatory framework for iGaming. Due to this legislation, regulated iGaming successfully displaced the unregulated market, according to Attorney General Doug Downey, creating over 1.6 million active player accounts across more than 70 operator websites as of April 2023 — just over one year following the change.

Ontario's regulation has also laid the groundwork for widespread change in the iGaming space across Canada. As iGaming continues to evolve, it's important to have a deeper understanding of both new and existing trends that will shape the industry's future, as well as regulations.
