Chart of the Week

The floor prices (priced in ETH) of top NFT collections have dropped significantly, with βDeGodsβ, βBAYCβ, βMutant Ape Yacht Clubβ, and βPudgy Penguinsβ seeing declines of 33%, 20%, 16%, and 11% respectively in the past 7 days.

News Highlights
- Heroes of Mavia, a popular Web3 gaming platform backed by Crypto.com Capital, has achieved a significant milestone by reaching three million global downloads just one month after its debut on mobile platforms. The game has seen rapid growth in player numbers, particularly in countries like the US, the Philippines, Turkey, Brazil, Germany, and Indonesia. One of the factors contributing to its success is the integration of its native currency, MAVIA, for in-game governance and enhancements. The MAVIA token has experienced a 14.83% increase in value and is listed on major cryptocurrency exchanges like Crypto.com.
- Sony has filed a patent for βSuper-Fungible Tokensβ (SFTs) in the gaming industry. These tokens, stored on a distributed ledger, aim to allow players to own unique in-game assets and transfer them to other players. The patent does not specify whether Sonyβs blockchain would be public or private, but it indicates the companyβs interest in exploring NFTs within its games.
- Approximately $250 million worth of gaming tokens are set to be unlocked by the end of March, according to a report from Decrypt. These tokens are associated with various cryptocurrency games or gaming platforms. Notable tokens include ApeCoin (APE) from the BAYC ecosystem, PIXEL from the Ronin farming game Pixels, IMX from the Ethereum gaming platform Immutable, YGG from Yield Guild Games, PRIME from the NFT card game Parallel, and GMT from the move-to-earn game Stepn.
- RON, the native token of the Ronin blockchain, surged by 53% over the past week. The growth of RON could be attributed to the popularity of Pixels, a Web3 game that focuses on NFTs and utilises the PIXEL token. Pixels has attracted over one million unique active wallets in the past 30 days, and has significantly expanded the user base of the Ronin network. Additionally, Ronin has expanded its ecosystem by incorporating other games.
