Move-To-Earn Mania Continues
STEPN’s GMT token is soaring again.
Interest in the pioneering move-to-earn hit has continued to grow in recent weeks, with the game reaching 300,000 daily active users per a post on the official STEPN Twitter account.
STEPN’s flagship Green Metaverse Token, required to upgrade the in-game sneaker NFTs, has also enjoyed substantial gains, climbing 384% over the past month.
However, the GMT token’s recent bullish impulse appears to be fueled by the launch of the STEPN x ASICS sneaker NFTs. Over the past 24 hours, GMT has gained another 26%, briefly pushing its market cap to more than $2 billion.
