# AXS (AXS-USD) Research as of October 1, 2026

## What AXS is
AXS-USD is the Axie Infinity (AXS) token priced in US dollars; the "-USD" is the quote currency, not part of the coin's name [[18]](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/axie-infinity/). AXS is the governance token of the Axie Infinity Web3 game, used for voting on ecosystem-t treasury spending, staking for yield, and in-game actions, operating on Sky Mavis's Ronin sidechain [[15]](https://bingx.com/en/learn/article/what-is-axie-infinity-axs-how-to-play-and-earn-rewards)[[18]](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/axie-infinity/). As of the current date, AXS trades around $1.16–$1.19, sitting near the low end of its 52-week range ($0.82–$2.87), and is ranked roughly #136 by market cap [[11]](https://midforex.com/crypto/axie-infinity-forecast)[[13]](https://cryptoticker.io/en/web3-gaming-2026-illuvium-axie-sandbox-review/)[[18]](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/axie-infinity/). It is not an equity, ETF, or security, so there are no earnings or share fundamentals [[18]](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/axie-infinity/).
