Q4 2026: Why Web3 Gaming & DeFi Are Still Winning
Total daily active wallets dropped 3% to 16M in October.
Bear market? Not for everyone.
DappRadar report confirms: Web3 GAMING and DEFI are still the 2 most active sectors in all of Web3. Everything else is bleeding users, but these two are retaining.
And Q3 fundraising data proves it — where did smart money go?
1. Payment solutions - $791M raised
2. Centralized Exchanges - $673M
3. Infrastructure / Tooling - $400M+
Meanwhile, trends from CoinGecko Top 20 this week show $STRK , $NEAR , and $SOL dominating attention. Notice the pattern? Infrastructure + AI + Privacy.
My take for Q4 strategy:
• Stop hunting random altcoins. Follow the money: Payments, DePIN, Gaming, and AI agents.
• BlackRock just launched its Bitcoin ETF in the UK.
• The institutional tug-of-war is real: ETF inflows bullish, SEC custody rules bearish. Volatility = opportunity.
Web3 is NOT dead. As builders are saying: only hype Web3 is dead. DeFi and DePIN are alive.
Which sector are you betting on for Q4 — Gaming, DeFi, or AI?
