The Axie Infinity NFT game proved its overwhelming popularity when it was recently reported to have surpassed $1 billion in sales. The feat also showed the growing interest in non-fungible tokens-based games, and the main reason for this is surely the plat-to-earn feature that these types of video games offer to players.
Axie Infinity is one the first to offer the play-to-earn, and since gamers can earn by just playing it, it quickly gained thousands of users, and now it has one million daily active users, according to Bitcoin.com. It was added that the game token called in the game tapped at $52 per unit, which is an all-time high, and this was just two weeks ago.
“It’s official,” Axie Infinity wrote on social media. “More than 1M daily active players. Let’s keep pushing, together.”
Axie Infinity was developed by Sky Mavis, and gamers can generate income by buying, breeding, or selling digital pet creatures called Axies. Each of these pets is minted as an NFT so players can verify its authenticity in the blockchain.
The Daily Hodl reported that CryptoSlam, an NFT analytics site, stated that Axie Infinity gained $1.04 billion in all-time sales for more than 2.4 million transactions. With this number, the game is now on the top of the ranking in the NFT collectibles space.
The analytics group also stated that most of Axie Infinity’s sales took place not long ago, and it was just in the last 30 days. During this period, 239,283 buyers purchased almost $750,000 worth of Axies.
It was said that the user adoption for the Axie Infinity NFT game is also growing exponentially, and this is propelling it further to the top. In early June, Sky Mavis revealed that the number of daily active users (DAU) on Axie Infinity was about 110,000, and today, it has grown to more than one million, and the figures are still rising.
It clearly demonstrates that the online video game was able to achieve an 830% increase in just two months. Finally, Axie Infinity rallied from a 30-day low of $14.19 to a high of $53.28 in a short time which is really a big feat in the NFT gaming arena.
