Crypto-powered game Axie Infinity is continuing its seemingly unstoppable rise, with its governance token AXS up over 17.2% in the last day, and over 156% in the last seven days.
AXS' price surge took the coin to a new all-time high of $21.65, with the token currently trading at $20.89.
Axie Infinity is a Pokémon-style game in which players raise, train, and battle creatures called "Axies." The Axies themselves are represented by non-fungible tokens (NFTs), cryptographically unique tokens that can be linked to digital objects such as artwork or, in this case, in-game artifacts.
To play the game, trainers first need to acquire three Axies; with the creatures trading hands for upwards of $200, that's no mean feat. NFTs are also used to represent plots of digital land in the game; earlier this year, nine such plots sold for a whopping $1.5 million.
The high barrier to entry doesn't seem to be denting the game's popularity, though. The game is currently third by users on DappRadar's games chart, with over 25,000 users and a trading volume of $27.06 million.
AXS, which stands for "Axie Infinity Shards," is a conventional ERC-20 token, distinct from the NFTs that represent the Axies. AXS can be staked in order to receive newly minted AXS, used for payment in the game's marketplace, and enables holders to participate in governance votes.
Earlier this year, Axie Infinity announced a $7.5 million Series A funding round with investors including billionaire Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian
Tokens for other gaming projects haven't enjoyed similar overnight gains, though for the most part, they're still trending upwards over the last week.
Decentraland's MANA is currently down 3.6% in the last 24 hours, but up 25% on the week, while Enjin Coin (ENJ) is down 3.9% in the last 24 hours, but up 17.2% in the last seven days.

Glauber Contessoto rose to crypto fame in 2021 when he became what was believed to be the first “Dogecoin Millionaire”—a title he wore proudly. Now, four years later, he’s claimed the title of “Pepe Millionaire,” while his DOGE stash has dipped slightly below that milestone level. Across six wallets shared and verified with Decrypt, Contessoto now owns approximately $1.116 million of the Ethereum meme coin PEPE. This is in addition to his Dogecoin stash that he has become famous for. Contessoto...
America's biggest crypto exchange Coinbase introduced two new "wrapped" tokens this week, allowing traders to use XRP and Dogecoin on DeFi protocols. By introducing cbDOGE and cbXRP, Coinbase is hoping to address surging demand for cross-chain functionality in the complex DeFi world, the company and industry observers told Decrypt. The exchange is making the new offerings available on its own Ethereum layer-2 Base network. Coinbase holds 1:1 reserves of the underlying assets that back Coinbas...
A month after the Pectra upgrade, key indicators on Ethereum have begun to reveal the promise and pitfalls of the network's most ambitious technical overhaul since the 2022 "merge." One of the major features that the Pectra upgrade brought was expanding the Ethereum blockchain's capacity for handling "blobs," which are units of "ephemeral data storage," helping keep larger amounts of it on the consensus layer, according to a definition from the Protocol developer team. A blob is a dedicated data...
