The gaming ecosystem performed well today, and interestingly, those former star projects are starting to move again. Do you remember AXS from last year's bull market? From hundredfold gains to silence, and now it’s surging again. What’s the logic behind this?

Not just AXS, the entire gaming sector is buzzing. Core assets of public chain gaming ecosystems like ILV, IMX, MANA, GALA, and YGG have all seen quite significant gains recently. From the market rhythm, this upward trend may be related to the restart of chain gaming narratives and increased activity from major companies.

Of course, the volatility in the gaming sector is common, so caution is advised when chasing highs. However, in the long term, the sustained activity and application development of these tokens are worth continuous observation. If chain gaming truly enters a new cycle, there may be some opportunities to find here.

AXS-4,29%

ILV-5,61%

IMX-4,12%

MANA-4,5%

AXS this time is really amazing. Last year it multiplied a hundred times, and now people are just starting to get interested. Latecomers are getting anxious. Why are the same old faces still dominating the game board in this round? What about new things? How many times has the new cycle of blockchain games been hyped? I just want to see who can truly survive. IMX, MANA, and others, it feels like every day there's a "chance," but what’s the reality? Chasing high prices is indeed risky, but if you don’t chase high, what’s the point of this industry? Is anyone still playing YGG now? Honestly? Are big companies increasing their actions? I don’t see it. Instead, small companies are frantically cutting the leeks. Long-term observation might just be another way of saying long-term waiting to die, haha. The entire sector feels a bit虚虚, how many projects can really land? When GALA was rising, reporters were all over it. And now?

AXS is alive again? How many people got burned last year during that drop, and now those chasing the high are probably going to get trapped again. Blockchain games, to be honest, are just hype concepts. Do they have any real applications? ILV, MANA, these tokens rise and fall quickly. I think I'll stay on the sidelines. This round of rise seems to be just capital rotation. Can we avoid getting caught? Wait, YGG, is anyone still playing it?

AXS's recent surge is indeed exciting, but I remain cautious. The FOMO from last year has passed, and now when chasing in, you need to see clearly if there are truly new things. The gaming sector is like this—when a trend comes, it all explodes, and only a few can survive. For tokens like ILV, MANA, I need to keep observing before making a move. Is this really a revival of chain games, or just another scheme to cut the leeks? Time will tell. Wait, are big players really taking action, or is it just a facade? From 0 to 1 in chain gaming is difficult; from 1 to 100 is even harder. The future of these tokens still depends on actual users and game quality. Just hype on concepts definitely won't cut it. Honestly, should I hold or chase? This choice is a bit tough. I'd rather miss out than buy the dip halfway up the mountain. The lessons from AXS are still fresh in my mind.

AXS is bouncing again. Is this reliable this time, or just another wave of cutting leeks? If blockchain games were really going to take off, I would have gone all in already. Now it's just a matter of who can survive until that day. MANA has surged so strongly. Is it just a comeback for old projects, or what? This round of gains feels a bit虚, being cautious is right. Don't chase the high and get caught, it's not worth it. Is the blockchain game cycle coming? I think it's more like traders炒故事, where are the real implementations? ILV was dead before, now it's alive again. I want to know what supports it. The gaming sector always does this—rises and blows things up, then when it falls, no one asks questions. Are the YGG guilds still operating now, or have they all laid flat? Being cautious about chasing profits is wise, but missing out is also quite painful. It all depends on who can bet right on this wave.

AXS drops from heaven into hell and climbs back up—this move is truly incredible. It feels like the gaming sector has come back to life. Chain games are inherently cyclical in nature; I’ve been numb to it for a long time. However, this recent surge is indeed quite fierce. The collaboration between ILV and MANA is very interesting. It doesn’t seem like retail investors are the ones driving the hype; there are definitely big funds entering behind the scenes. Will the 100x myth reappear? Honestly, I’m a bit skeptical, but the fundamentals of tokens like GALA are indeed improving. YGG’s community activity has recently increased, and perhaps that’s the real signal. The gaming sector always experiences a resurrection. Every time I think it’s going to die, it bounces back. This industry is truly exciting. Those chasing the high are all leeks, but few who buy the dip have survived until now. Maintaining a balanced mindset is the most important. The concept of chain games has been hyped repeatedly for years; either it has real prospects or it’s just a cash machine for the insiders.

AXS is really incredible, going from heaven to hell and back again? I just want to know if this is a true cycle or another wave of retail frenzy. Honestly, the blockchain game sector is unpredictable; every day they talk about narrative reboot, but it's still the same few old projects performing. I’ve looked at the recent gains of IMX and MANA, but I still feel like something is missing. Chasing highs definitely requires caution, after all, the last big loss still hasn't fully recovered. What do you think about ILV? Is there really a use case, or is it just going to cool off again? The gaming sector is restless, but it feels like it's just the prelude for institutions to harvest retail investors.

AXS's turnaround this time is really interesting. The shadow of the previous wave of cutting leeks hasn't fully disappeared yet. Is the gaming sector really about to take off, or is this just a false prosperity before another round of harvesting? To be honest, I'm a bit hesitant. I took a quick look at ILV and MANA. Their gains are indeed decent, but chain games have been talked about for over two years, and there are still not many players. Chasing high should be done with some rationality. Don't get caught again at the boundary between bull and bear. The key is for big companies to truly get involved. Right now, it's all capital playing with concepts.

AXS this wave has really risen to now, it's amazing. Last year I thought it was completely dead. Wait, this time the blockchain game sector is jumping all at once. Is there really something new or are we about to get another wave of retail investors getting chopped? I have some confidence in ILV and IMX, but MANA... to be honest, it's a bit uncertain. The gaming sector is like this: when it rises, people dare to dream; when it falls, they have to kneel. I've already learned my lesson about chasing highs. If the blockchain gaming sector really enters a new cycle, I would go all in, but I've heard this kind of talk too many times. Among these coins, which one is the real dark horse? Can you give a reliable roadmap? Still that old saying: watching others make money is the hardest, even harder than losing money. YGG, this forgotten gem, is anyone paying attention now? No more FOMO. Let's observe calmly for a month and then decide. Will big companies really come in, or is it just another bluff?

AXS is alive again? Those who cut a round last year still dare to look back... Wait, is there really something this time or is it just storytelling again? IMX and MANA rising simultaneously, this does have some substance, but I'm still a bit hesitant. The narrative of chain games restarting has been heard too many times, let's talk about it after the next update. YGG is really working, as for the others... well, I reserve judgment. Chasing highs can be deadly, but not chasing means missing out, damn it.
