The total value of tokens associated with web3 gaming now stands at $32.7 billion, according to CoinGecko data .

GameFi tokens rally 

In the past 24 hours, GameFi tokens such as Gala have rallied by over 3%, according to The Block's Prices Page . Gala acts as a medium of exchange for in-game purchases and voting rights within the Gala Games community.

However, when we pull back to the monthly view, the rally in web3 gaming becomes more pronounced. In the past 30 days, Gala has increased by 228%, The Sandbox's Sand token has gained 91%, and Axie Infinity's AXS has spiked 71%.

According to Nansen analyst Edward Wilson, the out-performance indicates that significant investor activity is moving out along the risk curve. "As the market begins to heat up, investors seek higher yields beyond major cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ether," Wilson told The Block.

Wilson also mentioned the Parallel trading card game, which uses Prime token, as an example of the growing user base within web3 gaming. "Parallel is well respected within the industry, with partnerships with some of the best teams in crypto, like Coinbase and OpenSea, and has been delivering throughout the bear market," he added.
 
The Nansen analyst cited next week's Game Developer Conference as a driver of web3 gaming developer activity. "Gaming tokens are on the rise fueled by the anticipation of this upcoming event," he said.grt
