Closing: Dismissing Ponzi problems in GameFi is problematic
While the U.S. markets are quiet due to a long weekend, the GameFi industry is facing scrutiny over its association with Ponzi schemes. Animoca Co-Founder Yat Siu’s dismissal of GameFi’s Ponzi problems is hurting the industry’s efforts to combat this perception. Ponzi schemes pose a risk to the growth of genuine Web3 gaming and have already impacted projects like Axie Infinity. It’s important for the industry to address these concerns rather than dismiss them.
