"Gaming Summer"
Popular cryptoblogger Lark Davis, in particular, shared relevant information about this trend. He also added that while last summer was remembered as "DeFi summer," this summer will be remembered as "gaming summer."
You can also look at this trend on a specific chart on the CoinGecko website. As we can see, gaming coins are at the forefront along with others, both in terms of capitalization and volume.
Note that coin creators and processor and video card manufacturers, and even exchange founders, are gradually shifting their attention to this industry of blockchain gaming.
In particular, they are offering their users new ways to get digital coins through gamification.
What is the advantage of blockchain in gaming?
The benefits of blockchain gaming are quite numerous. For users, it is the possibility of easy exchange of in-game assets without intermediaries.
Developers, on the other hand, can get additional income from the sale of game items and tokens, as well as by attracting new users with the help of blockchain. That is why more and more blockchain games are appearing on the market.
