Blockchain Gaming is Having a market caps increment
The research also found that top gaming token market capitalization rose 122% in January.
Play-to-earn Over the course of the last year, blockchain gaming has seen a decline as players have emphasized on the quality of their overall gameplay experience.
On the other hand, a recent research from DappRadar reveals that during the first month of 2023, gamers were responsible for over half (48%) of all blockchain activity.
The market capitalization of the top gaming tokens increased by 122% on average over the month of January. Gala (GALA), the digital utility token of the Gala Games ecosystem, had its value climb by 218% during this time period.
According to the survey, the increased interest in these gaming tokens is a result of buzz from the sector reaching viewers in more mainstream media. For instance, Gala Titles made news when it announced the acquisition of a new mobile gaming company that had more than $20 million in assets under control as well as 15 games.
This is due to the fact that blockchain gaming is already a subset of the old business. As blockchain technology becomes more popular, more people will start playing Web3 games, which will eventually become widespread.
The Wax blockchain still has the most active gaming activity, with 331,000 distinct active wallets. This continues to be the case. The BNB Chain was the only one of the top four blockchain gaming ecosystems that did not see a growth in the number of gaming protocols between the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023.
The beginning of 2023 was marked by increasing activity, and robust financing helped set the ground for what many people refer to as the "building" year of blockchain gaming. This word highlights the attention that the industry has placed on developing games that are more powerful and of higher quality.
According to Gherghelas, the amount of money being invested in this particular sector is "growing dramatically." Total investments are expected to reach around $7.6 billion in 2022, which is a 105% increase from 2021. During the month of January alone, investments in the blockchain gaming business reached more than $156 million.
In addition to this, the research emphasized the significance that the metaverse has had in the rise in activity around blockchain gaming this year. The information showed that the trade volume for January in games connected to virtual worlds reached $44.5 million, which is a 114% rise over the amount seen in the previous month.
Although there was a 19% decline in sales, the total gain may be credited to the success of key metaverse platforms such as The Sandbox and Decentraland, which both had an increase in trade volume of 114% and 83%, respectively. This was despite the fact that sales fell.
According to a research published by DappRadar in 2022, blockchain-based transactions related to gaming on Web3 accounted for about half of all transactions in that year.
