And DappRadar said gaming accounted for 26% to 29% of the blockchain industry’s activity, fluctuating throughout the year as decentralized finance (DeFi) gained momentum during the first quarter and the fourth quarter. It helps that Bitcoin has reached all-time highs of $103,847 (for a market valuation of $1.9 trillion).
