The blockchain gaming sector is becoming more and more popular. Especially since October this year, the overall financing amount of the blockchain gaming sector has exceeded US$100 million, an increase of 61% from US$67 million in September. At the same time, in the past November, The blockchain gaming sector continues to see good news, including Pixels, Illuvium, Gala Games, TreasureDAO, etc., all of which released good news in November. In addition, the entry of traditional game giants such as Unisoft has raised users expectations for the playability of chain games.
Odaily summarizes the recent financing information and progress of popular games in the blockchain game sector, and also takes stock of upcoming participation opportunities.
Secondary market performance of chain gaming sector
In the past week, the chain gaming sector continued its previous upward trend, with a 7D increase of 12.2%. The current total market value is US$1.48 billion, still ranking 17th among all sectors, higher than the zk sector and lower than the layer 2 sector.
It is worth noting that the number of tokens in the chain gaming sector increased by 3 this week to 300, which shows that the current market focus on games is still focused on old projects and the uncertainty shown in new projects. It also makes the market enthusiasm relatively lukewarm.
There are many industry viewpoints explaining the reason for this situation. For example, independent researcher Jason Chen Jian said that in the last cycle, games were the sector with the most financing in the entire Web3 primary market, locking up a large amount of institutional funds. So It is difficult for large-scale stocks to exit after two cycles, otherwise institutions will have a difficult time. The primary market has a strong desire for this sector to bubble up.
In addition, this year will be the first year of 3A GameFi. After the last round of shoddy small games, how to balance playing and making money is a big proposition left to the market. Excellent large-scale production not only conveys the teams strength and work to the outside world Willingness is also the path to continuous development from playable to fun, but it is also a pity that we have not yet seen the emergence of paradigm innovations such as CryptoKitties, Axie, and STEPN.
But at the same time, Chen Jian also believes that regardless of Web1, 2, or 3, historical experience tells us that games are the track with the most large-scale circle-breaking effect.
Games are naturally suitable for combining blockchain. NFT + Token + economic model + scalability can use as many blockchain features as possible.
In terms of secondary market trends, in the past 7 days, among the 300 games counted, only 71 game tokens were rising, and the token performance of the remaining 229 games was falling.
Although the number of rising tokens is relatively small, it shows that the heat is concentrating on popular projects. For example, the trend of BIGTIME token is gratifying, rising by 152.3% in the past 7 days, ranking third on the increase list; Star Atlas in the past 7 days An increase of 66%, ranking 7th.
At the same time, projects that occupy the blockchain gaming sector as game platforms and infrastructure seem to be more favored by capital, such as the old public chain ICP (7D increase of 5.3%) and Immutable (7D increase of 6.4%). As well as some small game platforms Chain Games (7D increase of 176.8%) and KAP Games (7D increase of 158.1%), ranked first and second in the increase list respectively.
In the related NFT secondary market, according to NFT Price Floor data, the floor price of NFTs in the gaming sector has increased by 7.39% in the past 7 days, with a transaction volume of 16,210. Among them, the game with the largest increase in seven days is ZED RUN (horse racing), with an increase of more than 60,000%, and the current floor price is 0.0003 ETH; in contrast, the more popular The Grapes in November, since the Token pre-sale started, the NFT price It has dropped by more than 38.97%, and the current floor price is 1.58 ETH.
In addition, Blur data shows that the floor price of the P2E chain game Pixels Farm Land NFT rose to a maximum of 0.998 ETH, with a maximum increase of 69.18% in seven days. Although it has fallen back, the current floor price is still at 0.978 ETH.
