Questions people ask about Gaming
How is "beating Bitcoin" measured here?
A coin is counted when its three-month return beats Bitcoin by 5 percentage points or more. A theme is measured equal-weighted, so one large company cannot carry the average. The rule is the same every week and in every market.
How many coins in Gaming are beating Bitcoin?
11 of 25 as of 2026-07-27, against 9 four weeks ago. The median member is −3.0% versus the index over three months.
What is Gaming protocol revenue doing?
Growth in trailing 12-month protocol revenue for the theme is -49%, averaging -35% across the last four quarters.
Where does this data come from?
Daily closing prices and DefiLlama's protocol revenue series, rebuilt every weekday, and every figure carries its own as-of date. A coin has no earnings per share, so the fees a protocol keeps stand in its place — it is the nearest comparable figure, not the same one. Every number on the theme page traces to its source column.
