NFT Gaming Explodes, With Axie Infinity Surging to $1,000,000,000 in Sales

Published on: 08.08.2021

Axie Infinity is play-to-earn crypto built on the Ethereum network, just breached $1 billion in all-time sales, adding to the surging popularity of games based on non-fungible tokens (NFT).

The online video game developed by Sky Mavis allows players to generate profits through buying, breeding, and selling digital pets known as Axies. Each Axie is minted as an NFT, enabling players to verify the authenticity of the digital creature in the blockchain.

Axie Infinity has made over $1.04 billion in all-time sales with over 2.4 million transactions, pushing the gaming platform to the top spot of the NFT collectibles space.

CryptoSlam also shows that most of Axie Infinity’s sales happened in the last 30 days, with 239,283 buyers purchasing close to $750,000 worth of Axies.

The game is also seeing an exponential rise in user adoption.

 Amid Axie Infinity’s rapid rise in adoption, its native token AXS continues to be a bright spot in the NFT space. CoinMarketCap shows that AXS has rallied from a 30-day low of $14.19 to a high of $53.28, marking a surge of over 275% in just one month.
