DAOs are moving beyond DeFi and growing faster than any other non-financial segment �

According to fresh data, non-financial DAOs (media, gaming, content, creative projects) grew by +25% over the past year

Why this segment is booming:

Gaming. Players can actually own a piece of the project, vote on updates, and even share revenue — instead of being “just users”
Media & content. Teams use DAOs to produce content together, manage the project collectively, and distribute earnings transparently
Creative work. Artists, writers, and fans team up to create characters and entire universes — with IP owned collectively by the participants

Before: DAO = DeFi and protocols
Now: DAO = games, series, comics, content, and collective IP
