Axie Infinity is currently ranked as the 87th largest cryptocurrency by market cap, maintaining a valuation of around $1.1 billion. The 24-hour trading volume for AXS stands just above $41 million.
Despite its mid-cap status, Axie Infinity’s network metrics have declined, such as unique active wallets (UAW) and volume. DappRadar shows a 5% decrease in UAW and a 49% drop in volume over the past 24 hours, with current UAW at 43,500 and volume slightly above $1 million.
Recent Security Breach and Future Outlook
The backdrop of these market dynamics includes a recent security incident involving Jeff “Jihoz” Zirlin, co-founder of Sky Mavis, the company behind Axie Infinity.
In February, two of Zirlin’s crypto wallets were compromised, leading to the theft of over $10 million in various crypto assets, primarily RON, the native token of Ronin Chain. This chain is an Ethereum sidechain designed specifically for Axie Infinity.
Zirlin confirmed that the breach was limited to his accounts and did not impact the Ronin chain or Sky Mavis operations. He emphasized that the stolen private keys were not connected to the company’s internal systems and reassured the community of strict security measures for all chain-related activities.
Despite the setback, Zirlin remains optimistic about the future and is committed to bringing economic freedom to users through Axie Infinity.
