Possible way out of the calamity
MetaLend is a leading partner that allows AXS users to borrow against their in-game assets or NFTs. The Ronin Network, also owned by Sky Mavis, noted that AXS players could access liquidity while having collateral with their NFTs.
The official tweet pointed out,
“Anyone, anywhere, can now access liquidity and earn returns from their Axies and land on Ronin. In the future, players will even be able to play with their NFTs if there are certainties.”
This could be a welcome initiative for AXS holders who have survived the hard times of neglect over the past year. During this period, AXS’ gaming ecosystem, who was once attractive became a shadow of himself. The NFT sector, where it flourished for some time, became a point of disinterest from the wider community.
However, there is some uptick in AXS aside from the 67% increase in value over the last 30 days. Since the beginning of the year there have been days when the NFT volume over $1 million.
When Ronin learned about the MetaLend partnership, AXS NFT trading volume reached its highest point in 2023. During the aforementioned period, the volume was $1.91 million.
