ChainCatcher news: Delphi Digital said on X that in 2025 the GameFi industry’s performance has been lackluster, with funding down more than 55% year over year. The most anticipated product releases have performed poorly, and market enthusiasm has been low.

Web2.5 games are quietly rising. These games treat blockchain purely as infrastructure, usually do not issue tokens, and compete based on actual revenue. Studios such as Fumb Games, Mythical Games, and Wemade/Wemix are continuously generating substantial income while leveraging blockchain technology to improve profit margins and increase engagement.

This year, Web3 native games have created six- to seven-figure revenue, but the player base is smaller and filled with bots; once incentive mechanisms disappear, user losses become severe. Web2.5 studios can currently leverage the advantages of blockchain without forcing users to speculate. The widespread adoption of stablecoins will accelerate this trend, making small transactions, global payment rails, and participation-based reward mechanisms more convenient.
