RON crypto jumped 35% on July 3 before cooling off. P2E games like Lumiterra, Pixel, and Axie Infinity on the Ronin Network are driving demand. Is the RONUSDT bear run over?
The Ronin Network has been in the shadows for too long. After a disastrous hack, activity plummeted, and the crypto winter of 2022 slowed inflows to crypto gaming tokens and NFTs.
However, this does not mean Ronin “died” or that crypto gaming and NFTs had no place in the market.

RON Crypto Jumps 35%: Is the Bear Run Over?
True, bears still have the upper hand as far as crypto price action is concerned. According to Coingecko, RON, the native coin of the Ronin Network, is down nearly 90% from its all-time high.
Holders who believed in the project and held through the crypto winter of 2022 are up a respectable 150% at current rates. RON sank to a low of $0.19 in November 2022, trailing some of the top Solana meme coins.
From the daily chart, it’s clear that the path of least resistance has been downward. RON is down 80% from December 2024 highs, with sellers maintaining pressure throughout 2025. Despite a brief surge in early May, prices turned lower, and at current rates, RON is trending near 2025 lows of around $0.35.
The good news is that bears are losing steam. Yesterday, RON crypto surged over 35% before cooling off, lifting the coin above local liquidation levels and setting the stage for it to be the next crypto to explode.
If this momentum continues, RON could reclaim May 2025 highs, break $0.80, and even reach $1 in the coming weeks. As expected, the surge is driven by trader interest.
When RON rallied, its trading volume spiked, exceeding the daily average volume recorded in December 2024. From this, it is evident that RON traders and investors are back, convinced the coin may be undervalued.

Why is the Ronin Network Trending? What’s Happening?
While Axie Infinity remains the flagship play-to-earn (P2E) game on the Ronin Network, the Ethereum-compatible platform has evolved to support a growing ecosystem of games.
In recent days, the explosion of Lumiterra, an open-world mobile game with over 200,000 daily active users, has led the charge.
Presently, Lumiterra is conducting its MegaDrop Part 1 campaign on Kaito, rewarding asset holders and content creators with LUMI tokens. This airdrop explains the surge in Ronin activity, propelling the network to rank among the top gaming platforms as of July 3, 2025.
Then there’s Pixels, a farming game that’s slowly gaining traction. In the past month, Pixels recorded over 30,000 daily active users. The game recently updated its staking mechanics and adjusted the PIXEL token emission schedule, solidifying its popularity.

Attention has also turned to Ragnarok Landverse Genesis, launched on March 29, 2025. Since then, the game has generated over 2 million RON in NFT trading volume, signaling strong market traction.
Axie Infinity remains in the spotlight, with Season 13 of Axie Infinity Origins in its final phase, set to conclude on July 9, 2025. Developers are introducing events like “Wings of Nightmare,” featuring the Lunacian Dream World and Nightmare Axie forms.
However, the real game-changer for the Ronin Network could be the upcoming Atia’s Legacy by Axie Infinity, with over 17 million pre-registrations ahead of its Alpha test in the coming weeks.

: As more games trend on the Ronin Network, developers continue to innovate.
In April 2025, they integrated Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) into the Roninbridge to enhance security and efficiency for users moving tokens between Ethereum and the Ronin Network.
The Ronin Bridge <> CCIP migration is almost complete!
