Despite all the successes, the economy of Axie Infinity is still unstable.

On September 4, the cost of one AXS token, which is used to make transactions in the game, reached a historic high of $93.68. However, the price has already fallen to $65.32.

Such fluctuations are explained by the growing popularity of Axie Infinity. The influx of new players creates an increased demand for AXS, after which the internal economy of the project needs time to adjust every time.

Recall that the gameplay of Axie Infinity is built around collecting and breeding “axie” creatures. To start playing, the user needs to purchase three animals. They can be crossed with each other, put up for sale and used in battles. Players can also earn money in Axie Infinity by competing with users in special seasons. For example, this month the holder of the first place in the rating will receive AXS tokens in the amount of $ 15 thousand.
