In January, blockchain gaming experienced a threefold increase in onchain activity compared to the same period last year, with over 7 million unique active wallets (UAW) daily, showing a remarkable 386% year-over-year rise.

This growth is driven by advancements in layer-2 solutions, partnerships with major gaming studios, and the rise of new platforms like OpBNB and Matchain, which led the blockchain gaming performance in January.

Despite the surge in onchain activity, investment in blockchain gaming has dropped significantly, with only 16 million USD raised in January 2025, contrasting a high of 222 million USD in December 2024.
