SLP, AXS Go Up

Two tokens associated with Axie Infinity, AXS and SLP, went up significantly this weekend after changes to breeding requirements of Axies and continued increased demand for Axies.

This means despite the increase in breeding requirements, the demand for Axies are just continuing to cause the prices to further increase. This is good for Axie players liquidating their SLP but breeders (or possibly the small time breeders and those wanting to play Axie by buying their own team) might be hurting. Sky Mavis did say that the increase in breeding fee is just temporary.
