Co-founder of Axie Infinity shared statistics from the Coinbase learn-to-earn campaign in mid-June. @Jihoz_Axie dropped key details of the campaign that evidence the rising demand for the NFTs and the relevance among traders:
- 236,000 total participants engaged with Axies
- 202,000 Axies were purchased
- Axie treasury noted a 99% surge in weekly fees paid, up from $50,685 to $100,843, during the first ten days of the campaign.

• Origins and Classic DAU up 10%

AXS/USDT daily chart shows a 45% decline in the GameFi token’s price in the same timeframe where Axies collection noted a surge in revenue and monthly active users. It is likely that the token’s price has failed to catch up with the popularity of the NFT collection.
Axie Infinity’s AXS could extend gains by 6% and rally towards the Fair Value Gap at $6.661, as seen in the chart below. The GameFi token could make steady progress towards recovering from the 45% correction.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) momentum indicator supports the bullish thesis. Green histogram bars appeared above the neutral line on the AXS/USDT daily chart, as seen below, signaling positive momentum underlying AXS price trend.
