Metalith Launches Mystic Axie Index
Metalith, a group working on demystifying NFT sales data, launched the world’s first Mystic Axie index. The index seeks to summarize the price performance of Mystic Axies based on indicators such as frequency of sales, volume, and median sales price.
Here’s a quote from Metalith’s founder Jmahh:
" I think we're still at an early stage based on the sales volume, but given the rarity of mystics that may be a permanent state. However both in ETH and USD it is clear that they have been a solid investment at the highest frequency (weekly), which I would trust most because it makes best use of the data available."
Axie in the Real World
We’ve been excited to see signs that the Alpha has made Axie more accessible to mainstream users!
We sat down with Muhd Amrullah as he shared insight into on-boarding his friends and family. Read his thoughts here.
Did you know that the wage for public employees in Venezuela is 10$ a month? This has made play to earn especially attractive to Venezuelan users. Check out this amazing story from Venezuelan trainer, Mhitandyr, on his experience with the Alpha!
NFT NYC
Calling all New York trainers! Our Growth Lead, Jihoz, will be speaking at NFT NYC next week! Make sure to stop by this Defi Gaming happy hour to say hi and perhaps pick up some Axie merch!
