Play-to-Earn Blockchain Game Axie Infinity Surpasses $4 Billion in All-Time NFT Sales
This week, Axie Infinity, the blockchain-based online video game crafted by the Vietnamese software studio Sky Mavis, surpassed $4 billion in all-time non-fungible token (NFT) sales. Currently, the play-to-earn (P2E) game launched in 2018 is the third-largest NFT platform in terms of all-time sales.
The Ethereum-based video game Axie Infinity has been very popular during the last 12 months as the P2E pet training world has seen significant demand. The game’s native digital currency axie infinity (AXS) has increased by 2,544% against the U.S. dollar over the last year.
On the other hand, smooth love potion (SLP), hasn’t been so lucky and is down 70% in value year-to-date. Metrics indicate that there’s 53,502 AXS token holders today and out of 166,870 Axies there are 45,276 Axie owners.
This week, NFT metrics show, the project developed by Sky Mavis captured more than $4 billion worth of all-time NFT sales. Today, the average Axie Infinity sale price is $198.77 and the project has seen 1,905,222 traders, according to lifetime statistics.
With approximately $4.14 billion in all-time sales recorded at the time of writing, Axie Infinity is the third-largest NFT project in terms of all-time sales. The game’s NFT sales are below Opensea’s $21.85 billion and Looksrare’s reported $16.85 billion.
While Axie Infinity is an Ethereum-based project, the game leverages the Ronin network so the network can scale without high fees and congestion issues. At the time of writing, the cross-chain Ronin Bridge has $3.3 billion total-vale locked, and it is down 15% since last week.
Statistics indicate that the Ronin-based decentralized exchange (dex) Katana is the fourth largest decentralized finance (defi) exchange in terms of volume. Katana has seen $30.8 million in 24-hour trade volume and has a balance of $475 million.
Even though all-time Axie Infinity NFT sales have crossed the $4 billion mark, sales are down 40.58% during the last seven days. Weekly statistics indicate Axie Infinity has processed $19,815,670 in sales via the Ronin blockchain. Axie NFTs last week saw 91,940 buyers across 267,906 transactions.
24-hour Axie NFT sales metrics show the project has seen $2.2 million in sales from 17,731 buyers. While Axie is the third-largest in all-time sales, it’s the fourth in 24-hour terms and the fifth over the last seven days. Over the last month, Axie placed eighth out of the top ten projects in terms of 30-day NFT sales.

Miners Have Moved 30% of Their Equipment Out of Kazakhstan, Industry Organization Claims
Authorized crypto mining businesses have already taken a third of their coin minting hardware out of Kazakhstan, according to the country’s mining association. The news comes amid electricity shortages and upcoming tax hikes that are turning miners away from the Central Asian nation.
Companies, legally operating mining facilities in Kazakhstan, have already relocated around 30% of their mining equipment elsewhere. The President of the National Association of Blockchain and Data Center Industry of Kazakhstan Alan Dorjiyev told Forklog about the migration.
The executive noted that miners have been influenced by the persisting issues with energy supply and an expected tax increase. His organization represents major companies involved in the extraction of digital currencies accounting for 70% of Kazakhstan’s crypto mining sector.
The report quotes legislative documents indicating that Kazakhstan’s parliament prepares to impose on miners a tax of 10 tenge (approx. $0.02) per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity generated from domestic energy resources and 5 tenge per kWh for imported electrical energy.
The levy for electricity produced from natural gas and renewable sources, excluding hydropower, will be 3 tenge per kWh, if lawmakers adopt the proposed changes. In 2021, authorities in Nur-Sultan introduced a surcharge of 1 tenge ($0.0023 at the time) per kWh of electricity used to mint cryptocurrencies.
Kazakhstan became a mining hotspot following China’s decision to launch a nation-wide crackdown on the industry in May, and largely due to its capped electricity rates. The country initially welcomed mining companies but since then, their energy-intensive operations have been blamed for a growing power deficit.
To deal with the shortages, the government increased electricity imports from the Russian Federation and shut down legal mining farms amid winter blackouts. Instructed by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the Ministry of Energy, the Financial Monitoring Agency and law enforcement have also gone after illegal miners.
Dorjiyev further commented that the country is gradually becoming an “unfavorable jurisdiction for the crypto mining business.” He also warned that Kazakhstan will lose its leading position in terms of the amount of computing power it controls in the bitcoin network. As of August 2021, the country’s share in the global hashrate had reached 18%, second only to that of the United States.
To quell protests over rising fuel prices in early January, Tokayev’s administration temporarily closed down banks and restricted access to the internet. The measures affected the mining sector as well. The political turmoil and power supply interruptions have already forced some mining companies to relocate to other countries such as the U.S.

US Charges Indian Citizen in $3.4 Billion Crypto Ponzi Scheme Bitconnect
The founder of the $3.4 billion crypto Ponzi scheme Bitconnect has been charged in the United States. “If convicted of all counts, he faces a maximum total penalty of 70 years in prison,” said the U.S. Department of Justice.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Friday that the founder of the global crypto fraud scheme Bitconnect has been charged.
“Bitconnect is an alleged fraudulent cryptocurrency investment platform that reached a peak market capitalization of $3.4 billion,” the DOJ described, adding:
A federal grand jury returned an indictment today charging Satishkumar Kurjibhai Kumbhani, a citizen and resident of India, with multiple crimes for his alleged role in a massive criminal conspiracy involving the cryptocurrency company he founded, Bitconnect.
The 36-year-old from Hemal, India, misled investors that the scheme’s “Lending Program” was able to “generate substantial profits and guaranteed returns” using “Bitconnect Trading Bot” and “Volatility Software,” the justice department detailed.
However, the DOJ noted:
Bitconnect operated as a Ponzi scheme by paying earlier Bitconnect investors with money from later investors. In total, Kumbhani and his co-conspirators obtained approximately $2.4 billion from investors.
The indictment further alleges that Kumbhani abruptly shut down the Lending Program after about one year. He then “directed his network of promoters to fraudulently manipulate and prop up the price of BitConnect’s digital currency, a commodity known as Bitconnect Coin (BCC),” the DOJ explained.
“Kumbhani is charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit commodity price manipulation, operation of an unlicensed money transmitting business, and conspiracy to commit international money laundering,” the Justice Department described, adding:
If convicted of all counts, he faces a maximum total penalty of 70 years in prison.
In November last year, the Justice Department announced that it was selling cryptocurrency worth $56 million seized from the Bitconnect scheme.

Starlink Terminals Arrive in Ukraine as Elon Musk Makes Good on Promise
Spacex has managed to deliver Starlink equipment to Ukraine as promised by its founder, Elon Musk. The hardware will provide access to high-speed internet for users in the country, which has been experiencing disruptions in communications as a result of Russia’s military invasion.
Ukraine has received a batch of terminals needed to connect to the satellite internet constellation Starlink. The network is operated by Spacex, the aerospace manufacturer founded and managed by U.S. tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, and offers high-speed broadband internet across the globe.
The arrival was announced by Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s deputy prime minister and minister of digital transformation. “Starlink — here. Thanks, @elonmusk,” the Kyiv official tweeted on Monday, posting a photo of a truck full of antennas and routers used to connect to the satellites.
On Saturday, Fedorov took to Twitter to ask the billionaire to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations. The call was issued after media reports revealed that the internet monitor Netblocks had registered “significant disruptions to internet service” in the country since the launch of the Russian military assault on Feb. 24.
“Starlink service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals en route,” Musk replied within hours. “Starlink terminals are coming to Ukraine!” the Ukrainian minister confirmed later, thanking Elon Musk and others supporting his country.
Ukrainian reports on social media have indicated that Starlink equipment is already working in the capital Kyiv. According to a tweet by software and communications engineer Oleg Kutkov, the internet connection’s top speed has exceeded 200 Mbps at some point.
Since the beginning of the Russian military offensive, Ukrainian officials have issued numerous calls for help from the international community. To support its defense and other efforts, the government of the East European nation started accepting donations in various cryptocurrencies.
Russian forces have been advancing from multiple directions, threatening to cut off major urban centers, including the capital Kyiv and Ukraine’s second largest city, Kharkiv. Problems with communication are likely to grow and affect many industries, including the crypto sector which Ukraine has been trying to regulate. Starlink notes on its website that the service is suited for areas with unreliable or unavailable connectivity.

Citadel Plans to Start Making Markets in Crypto in Coming Months, CEO Ken Griffin Says
Citadel CEO Ken Griffin, a bitcoin skeptic, admits he has not been right on his crypto call. He now says: “It’s fair to assume that over the months to come, you will see us engage in making markets in cryptocurrencies.”
The CEO and founder of financial services firm Citadel, billionaire Ken Griffin, talked about cryptocurrency and his company’s decision to enter the space in an interview with David Rubenstein on Bloomberg Thursday.
The billionaire executive has long been a bitcoin skeptic. He previously described the rush to embrace cryptocurrencies as a “jihadist call” against the U.S. dollar. In 2017, he told CNBC that bitcoin has “many of the elements of the tulip bulb mania.” He also said: “I get very worried that people that are buying bitcoins don’t really understand what they’re participating in.”
Griffin made headlines in November last year when he bought a rare copy of the U.S. Constitution at a Sotheby’s auction for $43.2 million, beating out ConstitutionDAO.
He was asked whether Citadel has plans to trade or make markets in crypto. “To the extent that we’re trying to help institutions and investors solve their portfolio allocation problems, we have to give serious consideration to being a market maker in crypto,” he replied, elaborating:
It’s fair to assume that over the months to come, you will see us engage in making markets in cryptocurrencies.
Founded in 1990, Citadel operates two primary businesses. The first is Citadel, one of the largest hedge funds with more than $38 billion in assets under management. The other is Citadel Securities, the largest market maker in stocks, options, and interest rate swaps for retail and institutional clients. The firm handles 40% of all stock trades in the U.S.
Griffin also admitted Thursday that he has not been right about his crypto call.
“Crypto has been one of the great stories in finance over the course of the last 15 years. And I’ll be clear, I’ve been in the naysayer camp over that period of time,” the CEO shared, adding:
But the crypto market today has a market capitalization of about $2 trillion in round numbers, which tells you that I haven’t been right on this call.
Nonetheless, the Citadel CEO clarified: “I still have my skepticism, but there are hundreds and millions of people in this world today who disagree with that.”

Legendary Investor Jim Rogers Sees The End Of US Dollar As A Neutral Currency And Regrets Not Having Bought Bitcoin
Billionaire investor Jim Rogers believes that the US dollar is now no longer viewed as “neutral”, and that Washington has “changed the rules”. He is still worried that governments might ban cryptocurrencies, but regrets not having bought Bitcoin last year.
In an interview with the Economic Times on Sunday, Jim Rogers said that he owns US dollars, basically because of the historic view that when there is chaos in the economy, most investors go to the dollar, viewing it as a safe haven.
However, Rogers thinks that times have changed, and that the dollar is losing its respect as this safe haven, primarily because of the sanctions that the US government levies against those it doesn’t like, preventing them from using the dollar.
He feels that some countries are searching for an alternative to the dollar, given the perceived unfair nature of Washington policy. He doesn’t know which currency it will be yet, but hopes that he will recognise it and buy it when it appears. Although a proud American, he doesn’t like what is being done to his country’s currency.
On being asked whether he thought that cryptocurrencies could ever be an alternative to the dollar, he is still very unsure. He thinks that the US government likes “control” and a “monopoly” when it comes to money.
If the US has crypto money but the US is not going to say this is new money. Governments like control, governments like monopoly. I do not like it but that is the way governments are and I just suspect that they will either tax it or regulate it or outlaw it or something because they do not want to lose control.
Rogers is also concerned for his daughters, because of the fact that the US is the biggest debtor nation in the world. As the debt rises day by day, he worries that his daughters will not be able to pay it, and will have a huge burden around their necks for the future.
He believes that bad times are just around the corner, saying:
“In Washington, they say do not worry we will never have another bear market, we have things under control. I know that they are either liars or fools because I know we have always had bear markets and we will have another bear market and when it comes, it is going to be very, very bad. I do not know when it is going to come, I suspect next year.”

Thailand Approves Tax Relief Measures for Crypto Trading
The Thai Cabinet has approved tax relief measures for crypto trading. The new tax rules are “much more friendly to both investors and industry,” said an executive of a cryptocurrency exchange in Thailand.
Thailand’s Cabinet approved new tax relief rules Tuesday for crypto trading, according to an announcement on the Thai government website.
Finance Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith and Deputy Minister of Finance Santi Prompat jointly disclosed the outcome of the meeting, confirming that the cabinet has approved the crypto tax relief measures.
The finance minister told a news conference that traders will be able to offset annual losses against gains for taxes due on crypto investments. Value-added tax (VAT) of 7% will also be exempt for transfers of cryptocurrencies or digital tokens on regulated crypto exchanges.
He added that the tax exemption, effective from April 2022 to December 2023, will also cover the trading of retail central bank digital currency (CBDC) to be issued by the Thai central bank, the Bank of Thailand.
Last month, the Thai Revenue Department published a manual outlining the new tax rules applicable to cryptocurrencies and digital tokens. The new tax rules are “much more friendly to both investors and industry,” said an executive of a cryptocurrency exchange in Thailand.
Previously, Thailand wanted to impose a 15% withholding tax on cryptocurrency transactions. The plan was scrapped after pushback by the industry.
Cryptocurrency trading has grown significantly over the past year in the country. A finance ministry official said in January that the number of crypto trading accounts in Thailand grew to about two million at the end of 2021 from 170,000 the previous year.
Last month, the Stock Exchange of Thailand unveiled its plan to launch a digital asset exchange.
