AXS surges 27% overnight, driven by ecosystem development and market rebound

AXS (Axie Infinity) increased by 27.05% in the past 24 hours, rebounding from $0.90 to $1.23, currently trading at $1.16. Behind this surge are both the overall market rebound and the support from project ecosystem development. Meanwhile, AXS market capitalization grew by $41.6 million to $195 million, with trading volume also significantly increasing.

Price Performance and Market Context

The increase ranks mid-level among altcoins

According to the latest market data, how did AXS perform during this rebound? Let’s compare:

Although AXS’s increase isn’t the highest, it ranks among the top in the overall rally of altcoins. What is the broader context behind this rebound?

Market Environment Boost

According to recent news, this rise is related to macroeconomic data. After the December CPI data release in the US, concerns over Federal Reserve policies eased. The overall CPI year-over-year increase was 2.7%, and core CPI rose 2.6% YoY, indicating inflation has been brought under control. Under this expectation, funds rapidly flowed into risk assets, with Bitcoin soaring from lows to $96,000 overnight, and Ethereum breaking through $3,300. As a popular altcoin, AXS naturally was also driven upward.

Ecosystem Development as Support

Gate added regular financial products

Besides the market environment, AXS’s own ecosystem development is also playing a role. Gate recently introduced AXS fixed-term financial products, offering three flexible lock-up periods:

• 7 days
• 14 days
• 30 days

This move may seem simple but is quite meaningful. Why?

Deepening Liquidity

The launch of fixed-term financial products enhances AXS’s application scenarios. Medium- and long-term holders can now earn additional yields through locking their tokens, greatly increasing the attractiveness of holding. When more users are willing to hold long-term rather than sell off quickly, liquidity depth improves. What does improved liquidity depth mean? Prices become more stable and less prone to sharp drops from large sell-offs.

From a market perspective, this lays a foundation for price stability. Although short-term gains may fluctuate due to market sentiment, such ecosystem support provides better long-term price stability.

Key Indicator Changes

Market Cap and Trading Volume

• Market cap increased by $41.6 million to $195 million
• 24-hour trading volume: $18.377 billion (a 1024.27% change from the previous day)

What does the surge in volume indicate? A significant increase in market participation, which usually signals a notable shift in market sentiment. However, high trading volume can also be a result of both bulls and bears competing.

Future Focus

Based on current information, AXS may face several key issues in the short term:

• Can it hold above $1.10?: This is an important recent support level. If broken, it might test $1.00.
• Sustainability of ecosystem development: Financial products are just the first step; will there be other ecosystem improvements later?
• Market sentiment sustainability: How long this rebound lasts depends on further macro developments.

Summary

The 27% rise of AXS is a combination of the overall market rebound and project ecosystem enhancement. In the short term, CPI data eased concerns over Fed policies, leading to capital inflows into risk assets; in the medium term, Gate’s financial products offer long-term holders new yield opportunities, increasing holding willingness. However, the large short-term gains also mean risks are accumulating, and whether prices can continue to rise depends on whether market sentiment can be maintained and whether ecosystem development continues.
