CoinGecko: 75% of web3 games over last five years have failed

CoinGecko’s study reveals a high failure rate in the Web3 gaming sector, with 75% of games launched in the past five years becoming inactive.

A recent CoinGecko study has disclosed that a staggering 2,127 Web3 games, or 75.5% of the total 2,817 launched, have failed in the last five years. This alarming statistic is further accentuated by an average annual failure rate of 80.8% from 2018 to 2023, underscoring the concerning stability of these gaming ventures.

2021 had a lower failure rate of 45.9%, which can be attributed to the bull market. However, the number of failed Web3 games rose to 339, surpassing the figures of 2018​​. The market’s decline continued throughout 2022, which saw the failure numbers more than double, hitting a record annual high of 742 failed games, pushing the failure rate to an unprecedented 107.1%​​.

As of 2023, 509 Web3 games have failed, accounting for 70.7% of the games launched this year. This decrease in the failure rate might hint at a potential stabilization in the Web3 gaming landscape​​. The overall blockchain gaming industry still saw increased investments in 2023, and the number of daily unique active wallets also increased in the third quarter. It shows that despite a record number of games failing, investors and users are still optimistic about the sector’s potential.

DeFi CEO Says ‘No One Cares’ to Deutsche Bank Entry into BTC Custody

Deutsche Bank to offer bitcoin custody solution for institutional clients. Cake Group CEO believes the move will not substantially increase capital inflow or attract new participants. Deutsche Bank’s Paul Maley projects the digital asset sector to grow to trillions of dollars. Julian Hosp, the CEO of DeFi business Cake Group, has shared a skeptical reaction to Deutsche Bank’s newly-launched bitcoin custody services for institutional clients.

In full, his response read, And guess what… sadly no one cares… because everyone in Germany can already buy #bitcoin either with an ETF (that has literally ZERO volume) or on an exchange. All these banks entering the space, are not bringing in extra money or people. They are just re-routing existing… https://t.co/MMZHSbGB9U — Dr. Julian Hosp (@julianhosp) September 15, 2023 T...

MATIC Price Plunges, Have the Bulls Finally Lost Control?

Image
MATIC witnessed a decline in bullish momentum and has lost hold of the $0.74 psychological support. Buying pressure was weak as the CMF hovered around the zero line. Traders might likely short/sell MATIC in the near term since the 50 EMA crossed over the 20 EMA. Polygon (MATIC) brief dip below $0.78 has turned out to be an event that has lasted a whopping five days. Over the last 24 hours, the altcoin had lost 2.32% of its value. But its last 30 days’ performance was controlled by the bulls where MATIC increased by 6.61%. Currently, the MATIC/USD 4-Hour chart shows that the altcoin was hovering around a tight support zone at $0.71. Due to decreased demand, MATIC’s buying strength has been cut off. This indicates bearish dominance around $0.72. For MATIC to regain bullish momentum, the price must rise above the $0.74 psychological level. But if selling pressure outweighs demand, then the recovery attempt could be quenched. Furthermore, bears have ...
