Everyone is debating whether Ronin is a gaming chain or something bigger. That debate is missing the more interesting question sitting underneath it.
NFT trading volume on Ronin grew 13% quarter over quarter in mid-2025 during the same period when gaming daily active users were well below their 2024 peak. Separately, roughly 1,000 developer teams began building on the network after it opened up, backed by a $10 million grants program targeting not just games but DeFi applications and infrastructure tooling. And the upcoming tokenomics restructure Proof of Distribution is designed to redirect staking rewards away from passive validators and toward active builders and ecosystem contributors. Three signals, none of them about player counts.
This matters because $RONIN is still being evaluated as a gaming token by most of the market. But the economic activity generating real on-chain volume is increasingly decoupled from gaming DAU figures. A network where NFT volume grows while player counts fall, where developer onboarding is accelerating across non-gaming categories, and where the reward structure is being redesigned to incentive builders rather than stakers that is not a gaming token maturing. That is an infrastructure layer repositioning itself, quietly, while the market looks elsewhere.
The signal worth tracking is not Ronin's next game launch. It is whether DeFi TVL on the network grows independently of gaming activity after the Ethereum L2 transition completes.
