Players return to Axie Infinity after returning funds stolen by hackers

According to the CryptoSlam analytical platform, users are returning to the Axie Infinity platform, with sales in the game increasing by 205% over the past week.

According to analysts, over the past 7 days, the trading volume amounted to $ 1.3 million from 23,100 users. Axie Infinity co-founder Jeff Zirlin also announced the platform’s «revival» on Twitter, emphasizing that «things have improved» thanks to the launch of the new Alpha Season.

It is also evident that players have become interested in Axie Infinity again after the return of funds ($ 625 million) stolen by hackers and the launch of an updated version of Ronin Wallet.

As a reminder, the North Korean hacker group Lazarus Group is suspected of stealing $ 625 million, which attacked the Ronin sidechain back in March. Sky Mavis Inc. suffered losses of 173,600 ETH and $ 25.5 million — 1/3 of the stolen assets belonged to the company, but more than 100,000 ETH were gambling. Also, it has recently become known that hackers were able to steal funds thanks to spyware downloaded by one of the Axie Infinity developers.
