The Axie Infinity (CCC:AXS-USD) protocol is one of the most interesting products in the blockchain sphere right now. Bridging video games and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in its own unique way, the Axie network has captured all of the most fun aspects of non-fungible tokens with an interactive packaging. It’s also allowing the AXS token to grow in a huge way, thanks in large part to the aggressive resurgence in NFT popularity over the last couple of months. With those factors propelling AXS upward, what are Axie Infinity price predictions forecasting for the crypto’s future?
Axie Infinity is providing one of the most unique ways one can passively earn cryptocurrency. Users can mint increasingly rare NFT creatures through a “breeding” mechanic. Then, they can play the Axie Infinity game using their NFTs to earn Smooth Love Potion (CCC:SLP-USD) tokens, which act as experience points.
For a video game fan, the concept is a very familiar one, and the draw of being able to earn a real, tangible currency for having fun is huge. But the company doesn’t rely just on having a fun set of mechanics; its developers are putting great emphasis on making the Axie ecosystem an efficient and stable one.
Earlier in the week, we saw Axie Infinity’s AXS token grow with great volume; the token reached a new all-time high, and investors excitedly drove AXS momentum up even further with the milestone. The day also saw developers update players and holders on incoming upgrades to the Axie ecosystem.
Axie Infinity Price Predictions Surge on Incoming DEX Upgrade
One particular tidbit of the update is causing a surge in interest in Axie Infinity price predictions; that would be the incoming decentralized exchange, or DEX, for AXS and SLP tokens. Axie developers are calling the looming update “one of the most important updates.”
Adding a DEX to the protocol will allow users to purchase their AXS or SLP without needing to use large, centralized exchanges like Binance (CCC:BNB-USD) or Huobi. The network added staking recently, which bolstered the liquidity of the tokens, and developers say that the implementation was just the first step of a full DEX rollout. With this increase in liquidity, investors can expect to see less volatility across the tokens as well.
The overhaul will hopefully allow the network to continue the rapid growth it’s seen over the last three months; since July, the AXS token has grown from just $5 to an all-time high of over $155. But what are analysts thinking about the future of the token? Let’s take a look at some Axie Infinity price predictions and see:
- WalletInvestor thinks AXS can grow by more than double in the next 12 months. By October of 2022, the site expects the token to reach a value of $386.42.
- A neutral Gov Capital suggests the token will be right back at the same spot it’s in now by next year. The site’s 12-month prediction calls for a $139.69 value for AXS.
- DigitalCoin forecasts a price of $197.90 for the token by the end of 2021. Its 2022 forecast targets a value of $228.45.
- The Economy Forecast Agency predicts AXS will near its all-time high once again before the year is up. By October of 2022, the site is targeting a price of $219.
