Ronin reached a new milestone in the non-fungible token (NFT) space trailing only Ethereum as the biggest blockchain by all-time sales volume. 

Ronin is one of the most popular blockchains when it comes to play-to-earn games that involve the buying, holding, and selling of digital collectibles. 

Sky Mavis, the company behind the wildly popular play-to-earn game Axie Infinity, created Ronin in 2020 after realizing Ethereum’s base layer was too slow and expensive to handle the transactions required to power the game.

According to Be[In]Crypto research, Ronin had a total sales volume of approximately $4.07 billion as of June 5.  

This comes as a massive boost to the entire Ronin ecosystem after its coin, RON, plunged to new high lows in the market crash of May. This led to market capitalization falling below $70 million. 

This landmark puts Ronin ahead of SolanaFlowPolygonWAX, Avalanche, Immutable X, Palm, Tezos, Panini, and Binance Smart Chain (BSC).
