Non-fungible token (NFT)-based video game Axie Infinity has hit a brand-new milestone as its all-time trading volume totals over $1.1 billion.
According to data on DappRadar.com, a global app store for decentralized apps (DApps), $1.111 billion worth of Axie Infinity NFT sales were recorded. This covers sales made on both the Axie Marketplace and other NFT platforms such as OpenSea and Rarible.
The billion-dollar milestone is the result of more than 2.5 million individual sales. Furthermore, data indicates that sales generated nearly $780 million in the last 30 days alone, with over 1.4 million individual sales made in that time.
Axie currently ranks as the bestselling NFT collection of all time; sitting above the likes of Larva Labs’ CryptoPunks, as well as NBA Top Shot and Bored Ape Yacht Club at time of press.
This milestone follows shortly on from another earlier this month. Axie Infinity representatives announced via the game’s official Twitter account that they had reached 1 million daily active users (DAUs). These quick-succession achievements indicate substantial growth on Axie’s part. Reports revealed that back in early July, the blockchain-based game only had 350,000 DAUs.
