Gamefi Market Overview

  • Slightly Decrease in MAU & New Users

We can see from the chart curve that there have been several large fluctuations between new users and active users since October. Since January, it has been relatively stable, which means that the next rise may not be far away.

Compared with December, both MAU and DAU decreased slightly in January. The curve continues the downward trend that began in October last year, but the downward is very slightly compared with Dec, which may be a signal that the market is picking up.

  • Monthly Volume Bounced Back A Little, Daily volume Peaked in January 23rd

The Daily Volume fluctuated greatly throughout January, it went to the highest point on Jan 23, which was brought by the token unlock event of Axie Infinity. The downward trend stopped on Jan 29 and showed a low but stable situation.

Compared with October, the Monthly Volume of January shows a great decline and maintains a sharp and continuous downward trend since April.

  • The Number of Games Start Ascend, Up 1.01% MoM

After the decline in December, the number of games started to increase slightly with 22 new games, up 1.01% Mom

  • The Funding Amount Went below $100M Consecutively, VCs Are Losing Patience

Although increased, The monthly funding amount was still below 100M, which suggests that VCs are losing confidence in the Gamefi market. The new driving force for the Gamefi market seemed more urgent than ever before.According to the second chart, Infrastructure is more favored than any other areas.In the beginning of February, CZ once extended his endorsement in Metaverse & VR in an AMA, which should be a strong support for the growth of the Gamefi market especially in such circumstances.

Funding deals worth mentioning:

Analysis by Chain

1. User Numbers

Overall, compared with December, in terms of the number of users, polygon achieved an overtaking of BSC in January. Polygon and Hive are in the trend of gaining more users. Meanwhile, BSC went downward and Wax still took the lead, which shows that Alien World is still the most popular game in the Gamefi space.

2. Trading Volume

In this month, Ronin is up 23% compared with the previous month, ranking first with a huge proportion of 70% because of Axie Infinity’s huge foundation. While BSC and Polygon lost their share because Ronin took it back again, but still, these two chains own the natural advantages in Gamefi space.

Trending Games This Month

Honestly speaking, we see no games caught the public attention this month except Dookey Dash which I have mentioned above, the Gamefi space remained silent. Let’s look forward to the February!

  • Federal Reserve's 'Echo Chamber': Non-Farm Report Indicates Reasons for Rate Cuts Have Largely Disappeared

    On June 5, Nick Timiraos, often referred to as the 'echo chamber' of the Federal Reserve, pointed out that the acceleration of hiring activities this spring will provide more justification for Fed officials who are concerned about inflation and believe that current interest rates are too low to curb a new wave of price pressures. Some officials have recently suggested that the Fed should be prepared for interest rate hikes later this year, at least to reverse some of the three 25-basis-point cuts implemented in the second half of last year. These cuts were aimed at stabilizing the labor market, which now appears to be in much better condition than it was at that time. This employment report will not completely resolve the debate about how much the Fed should consider raising rates later this year, but it does further indicate that the reasons for rate cuts in the short term have largely disappeared. The more compelling reasons supporting rate hikes currently stem from the inflation outlook. Multiple shocks, including infrastructure development in artificial intelligence, tariffs, and energy, could keep inflation persistently above the Fed's 2% target, even if progress is made in restoring commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. If the Fed remains inactive during a period of rising inflation, the real interest rates adjusted for inflation will decline. Even if the labor market is not the main driving factor, this mechanism could become an important element in discussions about raising rates.
