- As of June 9, the platform holds 1,717 Bitcoin, accumulated in April 2021, and held since then.
- After gaining an all-time high of $3.77 soon after the launch, it has since gone down by 64% to $1.34 at the time.
The Avalanche blockchain has recently crossed 1 million daily transactions two times in the duration of one week. This milestone was the first time witnessed since February 2024. The transactions surpassed the mark on June 1 and on June 7.
The overall transactions for the week starting June 2 touched the 5.8 million mark, the highest total in a week since early 2024, as per data revealed by blockchain analytics platform Nansen.
The hike in the activity is attributed to MapleStory Universe, Avalanche, mentioned on the social media platform X. Talking about MapleStory Universe, it is a Web3 gaming ecosystem made on Avalanche.
The first game of the Universe, MapleStory N, was introduced on May 15. Before this online role-playing game was introduced on Avalanche, the daily transactions of blockchain hardly surpassed 500,000 this year.
The Set Example
MapleStory set an example and became a cultural phenomenon among gamers in the 2000s and early 2010s. It offered a proto-metaverse for socializing, making friends, and also making romantic relationships.
The actual Web3 form was one of the examples of virtual economies, in-game currencies, tradable items, as well as user-driven content. These are the elements that blockchain technology now targets to enhance.
The franchise still brings nostalgia across South Korea and Southeast Asia millennials. Nexon has also buoyed the excitement revolving around MapleStory, as per the data revealed by BitcoinTreasuries.NET.
As of June 9, the platform holds 1,717 Bitcoin, accumulated in April 2021, and held since then. The launch also introduced the main currency of the MapleStory Universe, Nexpace Coin (NXPC).
Regardless of this buzz, NXPC wasn’t able to hold its momentum. After gaining an all-time high of $3.77 soon after the launch, it has since gone down by 64% to $1.34 at the time.
Avalanche has been accumulating grip since the end of 2024. The momentum was ignited by the introduction of Off The Grid, a shooter made on its GUNZ subnet, which noticed a shift toward gaining mainstream gamers, not only crypto natives.
