Blockchain Gaming Defies the Slowdown as Web3 Activity Dips in October
Blockchain gaming was the only growing sector in Web3 during October 2025, despite a 3% dip in overall daily active wallets.Summary
In October 2025, the broader Web3 ecosystem experienced a slowdown, with daily unique active wallets dropping 3% to 16 million, reflecting global economic uncertainty and user prioritization of utility. However, blockchain gaming was the sole sector to show growth, capturing 27.9% of the market—its highest level for 2025—and maintaining over 4.5 million daily active wallets, a 1% month-over-month increase. This resilience is attributed to fresh experiences and innovation within gaming. Conversely, other sectors saw declines: Social dApps dropped 7%, AI dApps fell 4%, and DeFi wallets decreased by 5%, with its Total Value Locked (TVL) also falling. The NFT sector saw a slight wallet dip but experienced a 30% rise in trading volume to $546 million, driven by accessibility and utility.
