Nonfungible tokens soar even as Bitcoin price drops close to $32,000

Published at: July 13, 2021

Today the wider cryptocurrency market finds itself looking for something to spark some momentum as Bitcoin (BTC) price dropped to $32,300 and altcoins sustained 2% to 5% losses.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the top three performers over the past 24 hours are Audius (AUDIO), Axie Infinity (AXS) and Small Love Potion (SLP).

Audius pulls in new artists and users

VORTECS™ data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro began to detect a bullish outlook for AUDIO on July 9, prior to the recent price rise.

The VORTECS™ Score, exclusive to Cointelegraph, is an algorithmic comparison of historic and current market conditions derived from a combination of data points including market sentiment, trading volume, recent price movements and Twitter activity.

Users embrace income opportunities on Axie Infinity

Axie Infinity (AXS) has been one of the strongest performing tokens in the month of July as users from economically disadvantaged regions embrace the blockchain-based trading and battling game for the income opportunities it provides.

According to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro, market conditions for AXS have also been favorable for some time.

Small Love Potion gets a boost from a new exchange listing

The third top performer on the day is Small Love Potion, a token that is part of the Axie Infinity ecosystem that is utilized in the process of breeding Axies, the nonfungible token-based creatures that populate the Axie Infinity world.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that over the past 24-hours the price of SLP has rallied 55% from a low of $0.264 on July 12 to $0.41 on July 13, less than two cents shy of its all-time high of $0.419.

The strong showing from SLP on Tuesday was in part thanks to the token being listed on the FTX cryptocurrency derivatives exchange, which enabled spot and perpetual futures trading.
