A Year to Forget for Gala Games
The recent growth represents a massive comeback for $Gala after struggling to gain price stability in 2022. Last year, the struggles of the token came into play due to the decreasing popularity of play-to-earn games, the general downturn of cryptocurrency prices, and factors directly related to the token.
At the height of its struggles in 2022, GALA plummeted by 25% within 130 minutes in November. Within that period, the coin dropped from $0.0394 to $0.0293. The sharp deterioration emanated after a single wallet produced about $2 billion $Gala out of thin air. Consequently, the development triggered fears about hack or rug pull in the crypto community.
Presently, the token is enjoying a $1,201,726,043 trading volume, up 820% in 24 hours. Further, the fully diluted market cap of the token is at $1,343,963,165 billion, with a circulating supply of 6,977,205,436 GALA.
