Axie Infinity's price soars 1900% in three months, sets new record
AXS, the native token of play-to-earn blockchain-based video game Axie Infinity, soared 36% on Monday to break yet another lifetime record of $153 as the game continues to enjoy increasing popularity.
The digital asset created by Singapore-based development studio Sky Mavis broke into the list of the top 20 biggest cryptocurrencies when it set the new high. It has now gained over 130% in the last two months.
In terms of market caps, the diluted market cap of AXS briefly reached the $41 billion mark earlier today, overtaking video game giants Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA).
Players of the Axie Infinity game can buy, breed, collect and feed "Axies" (adorable little creatures) generated by users as non-fungible tokens. So far, players have created over two million Axies.

The Ethereum-based video game achieved a major milestone by accumulating over one million active players earlier in August, with the majority of its fans located in South East Asia.
