Whether this is the interest rate hike announced by the US Federal Reserve or whether there is some other reason for the positive mood in the crypto market remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: many investors should relieve their hearts of a (small) load when they examine their portfolio on May 5th.
Bitcoin (BTC) is up almost 2%, while Ethereum (ETH) may register a gain of 3.2% on a daily basis. BNB, meanwhile, may show 2.7%, while Cardano (ADA) is even profiting in double digits with more than 10% at present.
However, the biggest outliers are the other altcoins: Axie Infinity (AXS), Ethereum Classic (ETC), and Cosmos (ATOM) topped the charts of daily gainers among the top 100 cryptocurrencies.

Axie Infinity Price (AXS): Altcoin blockchain game catches up
Just yesterday, BTC-ECHO reported that blockchain game token The Sandbox (SAND) is weathering the market gloom. Today, however, the price laurels belong to competitor Axie Infinity, which is currently the daily crown with 14.19%. In comparison: SAND can show growth of more than 6%.
This allows the Metaverse game to recover a little from the shock caused by the hack of the North Korean hacker group Lazarus, which at the end of March stole more than 600 million dollars from the Axie Ronin network.
