He highlights the importance of considering various metrics to gauge growth and conviction in the GameFi sector, rather than solely relying on token prices. Siu likens this approach to assessing the diverse elements of a country’s economy. Notably, data from DappRadar shows a 50% surge in transaction activity and a 14% increase in trading volume for Axie Infinity, one of Animoca’s popular blockchain games in the past month.
Siu asserts that the crypto ecosystem’s success is still closely tied to Bitcoin’s growth, despite various players considering their offerings unique and distinct from the broader market.
