Highlights
PIXEL, an Ethereum-based token and native cryptocurrency of social Web3 blockchain games Pixels, registered strong 18% gains within 24 hours of launch. At press time, the PIXEL price is up 15% trading at $0.5873 with a market cap of $452 million.
What’s more interesting about the PIXEL cryptocurrency is that its 24-hour trading volume has shot past a massive $1.4 billion. It currently ranks as the seventh-largest cryptocurrency in terms of daily trading volumes.
This means that during the past day, PIXEL has seen more trading activity than several well-known cryptocurrencies, such as Dogecoin (DOGE), Avalanche (AVAX), Cardano (ADA), and Polygon (MATIC).
Over the past day, PIXEL stands out as the most actively traded gaming token, surpassing its counterparts by a significant margin. Following closely behind is XAI, the token associated with Arbitrum’s layer-3 gaming network, which recorded a trading volume of $278 million within the same timeframe. Notably, XAI reached a new all-time high price on Sunday since its launch in January.
Comparatively, no other gaming coin managed to achieve a trading volume exceeding $200 million during this period. Rounding out the top three is Ronin (RON), the network supporting Pixels, with a trading volume of $150 million over the past day. In a surprising move over the weekend, Pixels rewarded RON stakers with 20 million PIXEL tokens through an unexpected airdrop.
The launch of PIXEL was highly anticipated by crypto gamers, with the platform experiencing a surge in player accounts in recent months. Since its migration from Polygon to Ronin last fall, Pixels has employed play-to-airdrop campaigns to boost engagement, ultimately rewarding approximately 28,000 of its top players.
Pixels (PIXEL) introduces players to an immersive social casual Web3 game experience, powered by the Ronin Network. Within this captivating open-world environment, players can also indulge in farming, exploration, and creativity to their heart’s content.
Now, let’s delve into the diverse roles of PIXEL, the native utility, and governance token, within the Pixels universe:
