The Ethereum-based gaming token has remained at 74.8% over the past 24 hours, with a market cap of $159 million.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14401517\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" ><\/source><\/p>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">LOKA price chart \u2014 July 31 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The rally occurred amid a surge in trading activity, with 24-hour volume soaring over 10,000% to $32.4 million, significantly higher than the around $1 million recorded the previous day.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What drove the rally?<\/h2>\n<p>LOKA\u2019s explosive rally today comes as the project has officially rebranded to Arena-Z. As part of the transition, holders are swapping their LOKA tokens for A2Z at a fixed swap ratio of 1:20.<\/p>\n<p>Several tier-1 exchanges have supported the migration. Most recently, Binance, the world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency exchange, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en-BH\/support\/announcement\/detail\/8584e37a223f44559a2c90785d5dc839\" target=\"_blank\">completed<\/a> the token swap on July 30 and launched deposits, withdrawals, and spot trading for A2Z.<\/p>\n<p>According to data from CoinGecko, the new token was launched at an initial price of $0.0059. A2Z initially saw a brief rally as trading ensued, but subsequently lost most of its intraday gains and was down roughly 17% at press time.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Binance, several other top-tier exchanges, including Bitget, KuCoin, Gate.io, MEXC, and Crypto.com, have supported the migration. The coordinated support from major platforms may have helped push LOKA onto the radar of a broader investor base, with traders possibly eyeing one final speculative push to lock in gains before the token is fully phased out.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>However, a more immediate driver of the surge was significant on-chain activity by a single whale wallet.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/intel.arkm.com\/explorer\/address\/0x6d339D4068bE98608d456fB894373921ef40A74C\" target=\"_blank\">data<\/a> from blockchain analytics platform Arkham, a wallet identified as arena-z.eth withdrew 170 million LOKA tokens from exchanges just two days prior to the rally. At the time, the stash was worth approximately $19.25 million, but has since ballooned in value to $52.56 million as of press time, representing an unrealized gain of nearly $37 million.<\/p>\n<p>The wallet alone now holds about 34% of LOKA\u2019s circulating supply, and its massive withdrawal caused exchange reserves to trigger a 97% drop in exchange reserves, effectively removing most of the available supply from the market and causing a significant supply shock.<\/p>\n<p>With such a dominant share of the circulating supply moved off exchanges, the market likely interpreted the move as a strong signal of conviction, sparking a wave of retail buying.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is League of Kingdoms rebranding?<\/h2>\n<p>League of Kingdoms is a Web3 MMO strategy game first launched in 2020. It allows players to build kingdoms, form alliances, and compete in massive online battles<\/p>\n<p>Initially, the LOKA token supported in-game purchases, staking, and governance. However, the development team sought to expand the project beyond a single game. To achieve this, the project rebranded to Arena-Z on July 16, 2025, aiming to build a broader multigame ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>The new platform now hosts multiple titles, including LOK Chronicle and LOK Hunters, and introduces cross-game rewards, universal progression, and a unified player identity. Arena-Z also integrates with the OP Superchain, enabling faster, low-cost transactions while maintaining Ethereum compatibility.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__icon\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-info\"><\/use> <\/svg>        <\/div>\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
