Blockchain gaming experienced a significant surge in activity in January 2025, with over 7 million daily unique active wallets (UAW), marking a 386% increase compared to the same month last year, according to DappRadar's latest report.

"This growth signals strong momentum and underscores the industry’s resilience despite short-term fluctuations," stated DappRadar analyst Sara Gherghelas, noting that this growth reflects strong momentum within the industry.

She emphasised that blockchain gaming is "entering a phase of maturation," driven by advancements in layer-2 technologies, evolving token economies, and collaborations with major game developers.

The report highlighted that OpBNB emerged as the leading gaming blockchain for the month, followed by Matchain.

Additionally, Polygon (CRYPTO:MATIC) saw a notable 100% increase in gaming activity compared to December 2024.

Gherghelas pointed out that while new ecosystems are emerging, not all meet traditional AAA gaming standards; however, they still demonstrate significant technical advancements.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into gaming is also gaining traction.

Several projects are now incorporating AI elements into their gameplay, reflecting a broader trend across the industry.

On February 6, Tether (CRYPTO:USDT) announced its venture into AI applications, which includes developing an AI translator and voice assistant.

Despite the impressive rise in blockchain gaming activity, investment in the sector has declined.

In 2024, blockchain gaming and metaverse projects attracted $1.8 billion, representing a 38% decrease year-over-year.

Gherghelas attributes this downturn to broader economic trends and a shift toward deploying previously raised capital into active projects.

While DeFi continues to slightly outpace gaming in terms of daily active wallets across the entire DApp ecosystem, the growth in blockchain gaming indicates a promising future for this segment as it adapts and evolves within the rapidly changing landscape of Web3 technologies.
