At today\u2019s prices, ten AXS is roughly US$16.90 (AU$26).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>How much each wallet receives will depend on two things: the player\u2019s Axie Score and how much AXS they have staked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more: Michael Burry Warns Bitcoin Breakdown Could Trigger \u201cSickening\u201d Cascade<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-axie-infinity-s-new-game-token-nbsp\">Axie Infinity\u2019s New Game Token\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>The game runs on Ronin, an Ethereum sidechain built by developer Sky Mavis, which is now trying to rebuild the franchise with new titles like Atia\u2019s Legacy and the Terrariums land game.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A new token is coming to Axie!<\/p>\n<p>Introducing bAXS, Terrariums, and TWO Airdrops \ud83e\udde0<\/p>\n<p>Axie is evolving.

Players will be able to use it to evolve and breed Axies and spend it in the Axie marketplace.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The idea is to push more of the token\u2019s use directly into the game economy, especially for upgrading Axies. The team expects demand for upgrades to grow as new game modes like Atia\u2019s Legacy and Terrariums roll out, which would increase the need to spend bAXS.<\/p>\n<p>Terrariums is a new land-based game where Axies live on plots, play mini-games, go on expeditions, and join guilds. Players will be able to earn bAXS there as well, and both AXS and bAXS are expected to be used for things like consumable power-ups and other in-game items. Terrariums is planned to launch in the second quarter of the year, after bAXS and a second, still-undetailed, bAXS airdrop.<\/p>\n<p>The new token comes after a volatile stretch for AXS. The token has climbed 57% over the past 30 days and now trades around US$1.55 (AU$2), but that is still down about 35% from a late-January spike to US$2.92 (AU$4).\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full variant-no-border\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1169\" height=\"554\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-132783 lazyload\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1169px) 100vw, 1169px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.cryptonews.com.au\/2026\/02\/05133933\/image-5.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.cryptonews.com.au\/2026\/02\/05133933\/image-5.png 1169w, https:\/\/cdn.cryptonews.com.au\/2026\/02\/05133933\/image-5-768x364.png 768w\" data-eio-rwidth=\"1169\" data-eio-rheight=\"554\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1169\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.cryptonews.com.au\/2026\/02\/05133933\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-132783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.cryptonews.com.au\/2026\/02\/05133933\/image-5.png 1169w, https:\/\/cdn.cryptonews.com.au\/2026\/02\/05133933\/image-5-768x364.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1169px) 100vw, 1169px\" data-eio=\"l\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">AXS\/USD.
