Dubai-based cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has announced the listing of Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) on its pre-market trading platform. This development marks a major milestone for the viral Telegram-based game.
From Telegram Sensation to Crypto Exchange Listing
Hamster Kombat is a tap-to-earn game that has rapidly gained popularity. It has gained millions of users and an impressive 32.6 million subscribers on its YouTube channel.
The game’s success can be attributed to its accessibility through Telegram. The game requires no additional downloads.
Bybit’s pre-market trading for HMSTR is set to commence on July 8, 2024, at 10 a.m. UTC. This early access allows users to secure HMSTR tokens before they become available for spot trading.

Bybit announced that initial trades will be in points, which will later be converted to tokens at an official rate.
Hamster Kombat’s popularity can also be attributed to the popularity of the TON ecosystem. The game was launched in March, and the real founder behind the project remains unknown.
The project’s X account currently has over 11.4 million followers, and the team recently announced that they have crossed 50 million subscribers on Telegram.
This listing represents a major step for both Hamster Kombat and Bybit. For the game, it’s an entry into mainstream crypto trading. The listing could also potentially help in expanding its user base and token utility.
