Dubai, UAE, May 4, 2025, TOKEN2049 DUBAI — In an exclusive interview with ZEX MEDIA, the CEO of MTT SPORTS took center stage at TOKEN2049 Dubai to deliver a clear message: MTT isn’t just raising the stakes—it’s rewriting the rules of the Web3 poker and e-sports economy.
From the main stage to the exhibition floor, the buzz around MTT was impossible to miss. As a Platinum Sponsor at this year’s most influential Web3 event, MTT used the opportunity to unveil bold new strategies, address platform challenges head-on, and outline a visionary roadmap that puts sustainability, community, and value creation at the forefront.
Opening the interview, CEO Joe shared a succinct but powerful vision:
“We don’t do cash tables. We’re tournament-only. Our ambition? To see MTT Sports become an Olympic-level event in e-sports.”
With a staggering 100 BTC reward pool and weekly tournaments distributing Bitcoin to the top 27 players, MTT has carved out a unique model that rewards skill, community, and fair competition.
Joe didn't shy away from transparency. The Q1 2025 report showed:
618,000+ registered users
250,000 new users in Q1
30 consecutive BTC tournaments held
Strong growth in Indonesia (+42%), Cuba (+685%), Russia (+61%)
Decline in Thailand (-42%), Taiwan (-40%)
WAU: 81,000, MAU: 213,000
“While we’re proud of the numbers, we’re not here to just collect registrations. It’s time to pivot from scale to quality,” Joe noted.
The CEO revealed a three-pronged transformation strategy aimed at boosting user engagement, token health, and platform sustainability:
MTT is retiring its free mining competition model, which served its purpose in attracting early traction but is no longer sustainable.
“We’re moving from wide-net acquisition to precision incentives. Our new ‘Trial Ticket’ system will reward users who actually contribute, not just those who show up,” Joe explained.
In a bold deflationary move, MTT will burn 1 billion MTT tokens—nearly half its total supply.
“This isn’t a gimmick. We want to reinforce our long-term value, build market confidence, and align tokenomics with the next chapter of our journey.”
The burn schedule will align with revenue cycles and be conducted quarterly.
One of the most anticipated features is the launch of the MTT Club System—a gamified, decentralized framework enabling users to:
Create and manage clubs
Run custom tournaments
Support multi-currency settlements
Customize event structures
“We’re giving the community tools to build their own experience, from regional preferences to professional-level events. It’s true co-creation.”
What can players expect in the next quarter?
More meaningful engagement: Experience coupons will help identify and reward high-quality users
A healthier token ecosystem: Quarterly burns to stabilize value
Club-driven expansion: Enriched social gameplay and niche community events
Training grounds: Free teaching venues to nurture new talent and professional players
“TOKEN2049 is our global statement. We’re not chasing hype—we’re building a sustainable Web3 sports movement,” Joe emphasized.
MTT Sports isn't just participating in the Web3 game—it’s dealing a whole new hand. With a recalibrated token model, community-centric tools, and a long-term roadmap rooted in growth and responsibility, the platform is staking its claim as a serious contender in the decentralized sports arena.
MTT SPORTS is a Texas Hold'em competition platform focusing on the WEB3 field. Our goal is to build the world's leading decentralized e-sports platform. We only provide Tournament gameplay, not Cash Table. Our goal is to promote MTT sports to become an Olympic event. In order to promote our platform, we have set up 100 BTC as a reward, and one will be given out through tournaments every week, which will be held from Friday to Sunday. The top 27 players in each week will share this Bitcoin. In addition, we also have a wealth of tournaments where you can win MTT tokens. MTT tokens can be used to register for competitions and trade tickets for our various events. They can also be used as node staking to earn income.
