B3 Acquires Andromeda to Launch World’s First NVIDIA RTX 5090 Crypto Gaming PC
Blockchain gaming platform B3 has acquired custom-PC startup Andromeda Insights to unveil the B3PC, the world’s first crypto-focused gaming desktop featuring NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Built on Coinbase’s Base Layer 2 chain, B3 has processed over 1.19 billion on-chain transactions and hosts 7.1 million wallet addresses. Andromeda’s rapid growth—millions in annual revenue with 1,000% year-over-year expansion—drives B3’s strategy to enter hardware. The B3PC pairs top-tier GPU performance with blockchain security: Trezor Safe 5 hardware wallet, unique on-chain NFT ID, self-destruct SSD with dual erasure, and military-grade AES encryption. Operating in –55°C to 125°C with surge protection, it targets privacy-focused gamers and digital-asset holders. Preorders open at a $200 deposit, shipping early next year; full system prices range from $1,400 to $5,000 (discounts for B3 token payments). PC gaming revenues are projected to grow from $61.8 billion in 2023 to $129.9 billion by 2030. B3 aims to tap niche demand for high-security, high-performance blockchain hardware.
Neutral
While the B3PC launch showcases hardware innovation in blockchain gaming and could boost B3 token adoption among niche users, it is unlikely to drive broad market movements. Similar past hardware announcements (e.g., blockchain-secured devices) generated initial interest but had limited impact on crypto prices. Short-term, traders may see minor upticks in B3 token activity; long-term, growing demand for secure gaming PCs could support ecosystem growth but won’t fundamentally shift market trends.
