Web3 Deep Dive: The Week in Crypto

Hey crypto fam, Crypto Willy here with your weekly breakdown of everything Web3! Let's jump into what's been buzzing in the blockchain world.

NFTs are making a serious comeback in 2025! The market cap has surged an impressive 69% to $4.8 billion, reaching levels we haven't seen since February. Domain and metaverse NFTs are leading this charge with their real-world applications and gaming integration. As an interesting shift, we're seeing less speculative buying and more genuine interest in gameplay, asset ownership, and community building.

Speaking of gaming, Web3 gaming hit a 2025 low of 4.8 million daily unique active wallets in April, marking a 10% decrease. Its share of total dApp activity now sits at 21%, placing it on par with DeFi. But don't worry – analysts like Sara Gherghela see this as a sign of a maturing ecosystem rather than a downturn.

On the cryptocurrency front, Dogecoin is maintaining support at the $0.19 level, which could act as a short-term trigger for price movement. Meanwhile, Ethereum has attracted a massive $321 million in inflows, suggesting strong long-term conviction from investors who are waiting for technical confirmation before making bigger moves.

Several projects are turning heads this June. Near Protocol (NEAR) is delivering on scalability promises with its innovative Nightshade sharding mechanism, processing thousands of transactions per second. Its Threshold Proof of Stake ensures robust security while reducing energy consumption – perfect positioning for high-demand applications in gaming, DeFi, and AI.

Sei (SEI) is another one to watch, focusing specifically on high-speed decentralized trading. Unlike general-purpose blockchains, Sei offers sub-second finality and low fees, making it a favorite for developers building high-performance trading platforms.

Fortune 100 companies are increasingly embracing Web3, according to an analysis by The Block Pro covering Q1 2020 to early April 2025. This corporate adoption signals broader acceptance of decentralized technologies.

A newcomer making waves is Web3 ai, whose $WAI token is positioning itself not just for speculation but as a gateway to AI-powered crypto tools. In a market often divided between hype and purpose, Web3 ai is attempting to deliver both utility and upside potential.

That's your Web3 roundup for the week! Remember, this space moves fast, so stay curious and keep learning. This is Crypto Willy signing off – catch you next week for more blockchain brilliance!
