Description

In 2021 blockchain game activity grew by 2000%…yes 2000% and 52% of blockchain activity come from gaming dApps.

Now, When it comes to mass adoption of crypto and web3, no other industry is likely to play a more important role than online gaming.

Some web3 concepts such as virtual currency ownership, trading of virtual goods, user-generated content, and tokenization already existed in the online gaming world.

Another aspect is that the regulatory scrutiny that most applications areas of web3 are exposed to, is virtually non-existent in the case of gaming. So, gaming web3 platforms can scale fairly rapidly without the fear of regulatory interventions.

Unlike most other web3 application areas, incumbents are themselves driving the growth of the sector. For example, Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard, one of the biggest California-based video gaming companies in a $68.7 billion dollar deal to build its own Metaverse. Major game publisher Ubisoft launched in-game NFTs.
