Axie Infinity

<p><a href="https://coinpedia.org/blockchain-esports/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Blockchain gaming</a> is emerging as a major force in the crypto world, and analyst VirtualBacon believes the sector is still greatly undervalued. While categories like Layer-1 blockchains, AI, and meme coins have seen strong growth, gaming tokens only make up 0.4% of market dominance in the current bear market. </p>   
<p>VirtualBacon sees this as a huge opportunity for investors, especially as altcoin season heats up and gaming tokens could potentially triple their market dominance during the next bull run.</p>   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-is-the-gaming-sector-lagging">Is the Gaming Sector Lagging?</h2>   
<p>In his recent analysis, VirtualBacon noted that while Layer-1 blockchains have seen their dominance grow from 5% to 9%, and AI has surged from 0.6% to 1.2%, the gaming sector has not experienced similar growth. However, the market capitalization of gaming altcoins has crossed the $32.2 billion mark, showing a renewed interest in <a href="https://coinpedia.org/beginners-guide/what-is-web-3-0/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Web3 gaming. </a></p>   
<p>This sets the stage for significant growth in the gaming sector as attention shifts to blockchain-based gaming experiences.</p>   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-top-gaming-tokens-for-a-3x-surge"><strong>Top Gaming Tokens for a 3X Surge&nbsp;</strong></h2>   
<p>VirtualBacon has made gaming tokens his largest portfolio allocation, now at 14%. He believes several projects have strong potential for growth:</p>   
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-superverse-super"><strong>SuperVerse (SUPER)</strong></h3>   
<p>Starting with the standout performer, SUPER has risen from $0.20 to $2.20 since November 2023. It has consistently outperformed Bitcoin, forming higher lows on the BTC ratio chart. Staking initiatives and the TON Station airdrop are credited with fueling its rise.</p>   
<p>The main reason for this uptrend is that altcoins are not releasing a large amount of supply to the market for early investors in the bare market, diluting supply and adding to sell pressure.</p>   
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-beam"><strong>BEAM</strong></h3>   
<p>Beam is rising against Bitcoin due to its major upgrades and strategic moves. It shifted from a smaller network to its high-performance blockchain, making it a stronger contender in gaming tech. Plus, its expansion into the UAE, a crypto hotspot, brings fresh opportunities and funding. These advancements have boosted confidence in Beam, reflected in its steady growth against BTC.&nbsp;</p>   
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-other-promising-tokens"><strong>Other Promising Tokens</strong></h3>   
<p><strong>Wild (WILD):</strong> Known for its innovative approach, Wild is making waves by blending utility with entertainment in new ways.</p>   
<p><strong>SeedWorld (SWORLD) and Xborg (XBG):</strong> These projects are breaking new ground by combining immersive experiences with decentralized finance, pushing blockchain gaming to new heights.</p>   
<p><strong>Plus Play Network (PLAY) and Super Champs (CHAMP):</strong> Focused on fresh narratives and engaging gameplay, these projects aim to redefine the sector and move past the declining popularity of play-to-earn models.</p>   [post_titles_links postid="392182"]   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-decline-of-older-gaming-tokens"><strong>The Decline of Older Gaming Tokens</strong></h2>   
<p>While newer projects gain traction, older gaming tokens like <strong>Sandbox</strong>, <strong>Decentraland</strong>, and <strong>Axie Infinity</strong> are struggling to regain their previous momentum. The fading interest in play-to-earn and metaverse narratives has left these projects behind, opening up space for new, innovative players to lead the market.</p>   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-current-market-sentiment-nbsp"><strong>Current Market Sentiment&nbsp;</strong></h2>   
<p>VirtualBacon sees blockchain gaming aligning well with broader market trends indicating an altcoin season. The <strong>Altcoin Season Index</strong> has surpassed the crucial 75% threshold, a level that has historically signaled market rallies. As <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-analysis/bitcoin-price-prediction-today-12th-dec-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin pushes past $100,000</a> and altcoins begin to outperform, gaming tokens could see substantial inflows. This makes blockchain gaming a sector with huge potential, offering investors high rewards as new projects move beyond outdated models.</p>   
<p><strong>With innovative new projects on the rise in 2025, blockchain gaming is poised to be a key area for investors to focus on in the coming months.</strong></p>   [article_inside_subscriber_shortcode title="Never Miss a Beat in the Crypto World!" description="Stay ahead with breaking news, expert analysis, and real-time updates on the latest trends in Bitcoin, altcoins, DeFi, NFTs, and more." category_name="News" category_id="6"]
