The blockchain gaming industry experienced a decline in user activity and funding in April 2025, according to DappRadar. User engagement dropped by 10%, marking a low of 4.8 million users, while investment activity fell drastically by 69% to $21 million. Despite this downturn, DappRadar analyst Sara Gherghelas notes that the ecosystem is maturing and evolving, with a shift away from speculative play-to-earn models towards genuine gameplay interest. Major publishers are still investing in new infrastructure and high-quality games are nearing launch. The decline in interest may be influenced by broader macroeconomic factors affecting investor sentiment. Gherghelas highlights that current investment focuses on sustainable gaming models and user retention rather than just token speculation. Notably, 66% of blockchain gaming funding in 2025 has been directed towards infrastructure development, indicating a healthier market poised for future growth. The month was not record-breaking, but it shows a recalibration in the ecosystem, moving towards stability and innovation in blockchain gaming.
