AXS and SLP See Continuous Growth for Weeks! Axie Infinity Introduces Aggressive Economic Model Reform
BlockBeats News, January 23: Play-to-earn blockchain game Axie Infinity's ecosystem tokens AXS and SLP have been on a continuous rise for several weeks. During this period, AXS has surged over 247% in the past 30 days, reaching a market capitalization of $748 million; SLP has surged over 42% in the past 30 days, reaching a market capitalization of $38.48 million.
The core driver of this surge is the aggressive tokenomics reform introduced by Axie Infinity's developer Sky Mavis in early 2026:
· Starting from January 7, SLP emissions under the Origins mode were completely halted: This directly severed the "farm-and-dump" cycle of automated bot farming, significantly reducing the daily new supply of SLP (reducing inflationary pressure by over 30%), effectively alleviating long-term selling pressure;
· Introduction of bAXS (Bonded AXS, a non-transferable bonded token): Replacing the original freely tradable AXS game reward mechanism, the new token binds to player accounts and is only used for in-game consumption, staking, or governance. High-reputation players incur lower fees when selling, aiming to reward genuine players rather than short-term speculators, further creating an expected supply shortage and curbing bot proliferation.
These structural changes are seen as the most significant overhaul of the Axie Infinity economic model since its peak in 2021. The co-founder Jihoz emphasized that 2026 will adopt a "higher-risk" strategy, including upcoming content updates like Atia's Legacy MMO Beta, to revitalize player engagement and ecosystem sustainability.

US crude oil: Range-bound volatility, sell on highs, buy on lows
(1) Analysis: Iran has intensified oil tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, with geopolitical risks supporting oil prices. However, Saudi Arabia's east-west pipeline flow has recovered to 5.8 million barrels per day, and Gulf exports are now close to pre-conflict levels, leading the restored supply to limit price gains. The EIA has raised its oil price forecast, global inventory buffers are narrowing, and the supply-demand balance remains tight. Oil prices are fluctuating between $88.5 and $90.5, maintaining a range-bound outlook. (2) Key focuses: Geopolitical situation, inventory data, US dollar index. (3) Resistance levels: 90.60, 91.00, 91.70. (4) Support levels: 90.00, 89.00, 88.50.
Spot gold: range consolidation, buy on dips, sell on rallies
(1) Analysis: Bond yields have fallen from their highest levels since 2002 to around 5.29%. Combined with lower oil prices and a slightly weaker US dollar, these factors are supporting gold prices, which are currently consolidating around $4,150. CME data shows about a 79.5% probability that the Federal Reserve will hold rates steady in October, with concerns over rate hikes easing. However, with the FOMC minutes approaching and Fed officials maintaining a hawkish stance, persistent inflation is capping the upside. Gold remains below the 100-day moving average, with the price mainly ranging in a consolidation phase. (2) Key focus: US bond yields, US dollar index, geopolitical situation, FOMC minutes. (3) Resistance: 4,180, 4,200, 4,230. (4) Support: 4,130, 4,100, 4,080.
