As blockchain gaming continues to evolve, few platforms have captured the industry’s imagination like Metacade. From record-breaking growth in 2024 to bold partnerships and groundbreaking innovations, the platform has solidified its position as a leader in Web3 gaming infrastructure. With the Gaming narrative set to explode in early 2025, Metacade is gearing up for its most ambitious year yet.
Defying Industry Trends with Record Q4 Growth
Metacade closed 2024 on a high note, achieving a staggering 590% growth in Q4. This performance stood in stark contrast to the broader blockchain gaming sector, which faced a 12% downturn during the same period. The platform’s new all-time high (ATH) of $0.047 underscores its resilience and momentum.
“We’ve finished the year strong and are ready to scale into rapid expansion,” said Russell Bennett, CEO of Metacade.
As blockchain gaming gears up for a narrative shift in February 2025, Metacade’s upward trajectory positions it as a key player in the space.
