This Move-to-Earn Project Takes Fitness and Gyms Into the Metaverse And CME May Be Taking Notice

CME Introduces Metaverse Index 

Last week, CME Group, one of the largest derivatives markets in the crypto space, announced that it would partner with CF Benchmarks to launch three new metaverse reference rates. 

The announcement confirmed that both companies would publish prices of three new metaverse coins – Decentraland's MANA, Chiliz's CHZ, and Axie Infinity's AXS. Both companies will publish real-time asset rates, taking data from several top-rated cryptocurrency exchanges and trading platforms. 

The news underscores increased attention to metaverse tokens being paid by large institutional players. And, given that the FGHT token aims to bring fitness to the metaverse, the asset could benefit significantly from the move.

What Is Fight Out?

Fight Out is a new, innovative M2E project that allows users to earn while they work out. The platform, unveiled in late 2022, takes fitness and gyms into the metaverse with an immersive virtual world experience that improves users' fitness journey and allows them to participate in the future of human interaction. 

Looking to disrupt the $96 billion-a-year fitness and health industry, Fight Out operates a model that enables users to work out and rewards them for doing so. Its first access layer is its mobile app, which offers access to a library of on-demand workouts and routines. 

With the Fight Out app, users will be able to choose specific workouts, all of which would target specific parts of their fitness – from muscular endurance and cardio to combat and strength. These workouts come with videos from professional coaches and instructors to ensure an optimal user experience.  

Next, Fight Out also incorporates physical gyms. The goal is to launch up to 20 gyms where members can work out with others. 

In addition, Fight Out is looking to capitalize on the metaverse. The platform's dedicated virtual world allows users to network with other athletes and join virtual tournaments. Users can also establish their leagues and socialize on this platform. 

In the Fight Out metaverse, users will be given non-fungible tokens (NFTs) bound to them. These NFTs can't be sold or traded and contain users' vitals – cardio, endurance, techniques, and more. The more a user gets fit, the better their avatar looks. 

Athletes can deploy their NFTs as avatars in Fight Out's metaverse to show off their gains and see how other users are doing. Avatars can be used in virtual tournaments, and the fitness stats on users' avatars will determine their performance in these competitions.

Earn While Working Out 

In Fight Out, users who complete workouts are given REPS as rewards. REPS is the platform's in-app currency and can be redeemed within Fight Out's online marketplace. 

REPS can be used to buy one-on-one coaching sessions, gym equipment, and even discounts on the Fight Out subscription. Fight Out has designed it to ensure users get more tokens as they build strength and other important fitness vitals. 

However, there are also soft caps on the amount of REPS earnable for workouts in each category. Athletes must do a mixture of cardio, strength, technique, and endurance workouts to earn the most REPS. 

Besides REPS, users can also gain access to Fight Out's FGHT token. The digital asset is used to pay for subscriptions on Fight Out, with users enjoying a 25% discount for paying with FGHT as opposed to fiat. 

FGHT can also be used to buy REPS and enjoy significant in-app rewards, further bolstering its demand. It is also worth noting that FGHT is a proof-of-stake (PoS) token, which means investors can stake the asset to earn more units. 

Currently, Fight Out is looking to raise funds to power its platform. To that end, FGHT is now available on presale and has raised over $2.79 million.

The presale aims to raise $10 million, and the demand for FGHT shows that it could achieve that. The token is priced at 60.06 FGHT for 1 USDT, with Fight Out's developers hoping to sell up to 60% of the total FGHT supply.

  • Trump: Data Centers May Be More Important Than Oil

    August 7 news, U.S. President Trump said in an interview with Punchbowl News, "I saw the other day that Texas seems to be opposed to building data centers. I think that's a mistake. I'm not taking a position—I just think it's a mistake, because there are other communities that want to build data centers. When a community is willing to accept data centers, it means a lot of money will flow into that community. I don't think they're ugly. Some of the data centers I've seen are the most incredible buildings I've ever seen. They are very important to the economy. If Texas says no to data centers, that's a mistake, because data centers may be more important than oil."

  • Trump to Meet with Mining Executives

    On August 7, according to CCTV International News, US President Trump will convene executives from some of the world's largest mining companies at the US State Department on August 7 local time, in an effort to take action to 'secure critical mineral supplies for the US and its allies.' Reuters reported that the US urgently needs critical minerals to replenish weapons inventories depleted during the war against Iran. During the more than five-month war with Iran, the US military expended large quantities of precision-guided missiles and air defense interceptors. US defense officials and lawmakers have warned that given existing production capacity constraints, replenishing some stockpiles could take years—although the Trump administration has denied reports of a so-called 'severe shortage of ammunition stockpiles.' According to Pentagon officials and defense companies, supplies of minerals such as rare earths, tungsten, germanium, and scandium are essential for manufacturing precision-guided missiles, fighter jets, armored vehicles, infrared sensors, and other advanced weapons systems. Expected attendees include industry giants such as global mining giant Rio Tinto Group, Australia's BHP, US Freeport-McMoRan, US Mountain Pass Materials, US Rare Earths, US Energy Fuels, and Canada's Metals Company. According to sources, the Trump administration plans to announce multiple deals and memorandums of understanding.
