Focus on the price of crypto Gala (GALA)
Despite observed declines in the cryptocurrency market, GALA , the native token of blockchain gaming platform Gala Games, remains up 163% in January, according to CoinGecko data.

Aside from the positive sentiment garnered from gaming tokens and the metaverse, the Gala team, which predicts that 2023 will be an extraordinary year for games, has also put some steps in place. On 12 January, Gala Games announced a platform-wide burn.

There will be an automatic burn in such a scenario. When the GALA tokens in question have been burned, the same amount will be added to the issue pool to be reissued via Founders Nodes in the normal distribution.
