Despite the present bear market, Axie Infinity Shards (AXS) appears to be one of the few cryptocurrencies to trade marginally higher in the last 24 hours. The Origin Android APK launch, revealed over Discord on Thursday, appears to have piqued the interest of buyers.
The upgrade will include UI changes and a “full HD graphic” option in the game’s settings, according to the statement.
It will also speed up the game by causing all status and rune effects to activate at the same time. Reduced volume at the start of the battle and a patch that prevents users from glancing at their next drawn cards without paying energy are among the bug fixes.
Finally, Bloodmoon’s turn number will shift from 15 to 16. Bloodmoon is a battle effect that does damage to all axies on the field, whether or not they have a shield.
Before the announcement, AXS was trading at only $17. However, it swiftly climbed to $24.33 in less than five hours.
It’s now the 41st largest cryptocurrency by market size, trading at roughly $22.03 at the time of writing.
Nonetheless, the crypto market as a whole is suffering. Bitcoin has dropped to levels not seen since December 2020, while LUNA has dropped 99.9%.
Even after its blockchain, Ronin, was hit by the greatest Defi attack in history in March, AXS managed to maintain its market dominance.
