  • The play-to-earn model of Axie Infinity has attracted millions of players in Asia.
  • Axie Infinity holds an impressive 80% market share in the Asian NFT scene.

The non-fungible tokens (NFTs) world has seen remarkable innovation over the past few years. In Asia, Axie Infinity stands out among the crowd. According to BanklessTimes.com, Axie Infinity holds a commanding 80% share of the Asian NFT market.

Crypto specialist Alice Leetham made a statement regarding Axie’s current situation:

The success of Axie Infinity in Asia is evidence of the cutting-edge nature of blockchain technology. It demonstrates the extraordinary passion in our community. The NFT is essential in providing players and enthusiasts in the area with economic prospects. However, in order to continue leading, Axie needs to roll out additional intriguing features and broaden the play-to-earn NFT market in Asia and elsewhere.

The Rise of Axie Infinity

Since its launch, Sky Mavis’ Axie Infinity has dominated the blockchain industry. The platform mixes aspects of gaming, collectibles, and blockchain technology. As a result, players can gather, breed, and fight fantastical “Axies.” Since these Axies are tokenized as NFTs, they can be traded as distinct assets on the Ethereum network.

Axie Infinity vs. Other Asian NFTs

Axie Infinity vs. Decentraland

Decentraland, a virtual world built on the Ethereum blockchain, has also gained popularity in the Asian NFT market. However, Axie Infinity’s dominance is evident when we compare the number of active users and trading volume. While Decentraland boasts a considerable user base, it falls short of Axie Infinity’s numbers. Axie Infinity has over 250,000 daily active users, dwarfing Decentraland’s figures, which is only 650.

Regarding trading volume, Axie Infinity’s marketplace transactions surpass Decentraland. This highlights the strong demand for Axie Infinity NFTs and the active trading ecosystem it has fostered.

Axie Infinity vs. CryptoKitties

CryptoKitties is one of the earliest NFT projects. It gained immense attention in the blockchain community after its launch. However, its influence has waned significantly, especially in Asia. Comparing Axie Infinity to CryptoKitties, Axie Infinity is popular. It has successfully captured the interest of a broader and more dedicated user base.
