GameFi does not know the crypto winter. The games and the metaverse are doing very well, the investments are still substantial.

GameFi does not know the crypto winter
According to the latest DappRadar x BGA Games Report #5, GameFi and the metaverse are doing very well. Several projects have been covered in detail in this report. Splinterlands, Illuvium, Galaverse and STEPN have continued to attract new players, generate genuine financial interest and grow.
For DappRadar, it’s the utility underlying the gaming aspect itself that makes the difference. Projects have started using non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and cryptocurrencies other than for pure speculation. For example, Project STEPN’s NFT shoes can be bought and sold in the STEPN metaverse, providing an incentive in addition to the physical exercise aspects of the game.

Also according to the report, the game itself demonstrates its usefulness in the context of the metaverse. While bitcoin was down in early June, the game Illuvium nevertheless sold 20,000 plots of land, for 4,018 ETH in revenue to developers. Splinterlands, meanwhile, has had 350,000 daily unique active wallets since May, down slightly (4%) from April, but still very good numbers.
Investments have not faltered either. A16z and Dapper Labs have invested $1.3 billion in GameFi and the metaverse. The Flow blockchain, meanwhile, received $725 million from Dapper Labs to expand its business around the metaverse, like NBA Top Shots.
If the metaverse is still in its infancy and there are still many challenges to tackle, the fact that investments continue to arrive and that players continue to respond is a good indicator of interest and therefore evolution.
