Sky Mavis, creator of play-to-earn Axie Infinity, is releasing RON, a governance token for its Ethereum sidechain the Ronin Network, the company said Thursday.
The RON token enables users to pay for transactions on Ronin and also includes decentralized finance (DeFi) features like community governance and future utility via staking through validators to earn rewards.

RON is currently trading at around $3.75, according to CoinMarketCap.
Ronin was launched in February 2021 and aims to speed transactions and eliminate expensive gas fees for players. In November, the layer 2, or companion, blockchain product from Sky Mavis processed 560% more total transactions than the Ethereum blockchain, according to a report from Nansen.
The blockchain currently has 250,000 unique daily active addresses, according to Nansen data, and processed 15% of all non-fungible token (NFT) volume in 2021.
As an incentive, Sky Mavis said it is offering users free transactions for holding Axies and Land in their Ronin wallets.
“It's important that Ronin has shared ownership by the community that builds and uses it. In the first month of Ronin, Axie experienced a 300% increase in monthly NFT trading volume and a 131% increase in daily active battlers,” said Jeff Zirlin, Sky Mavis growth lead and co-founder.
The company said the Ronin blockchain is more energy efficient than the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains, using 0.0000015 kilograms of carbon emissions for one Ronin transaction, compared with what it takes for one Bitcoin transaction 1,079.18 and Ethereum 125.26.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
Ce qu'il:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
