The two popular twin tokens, STEPN (GMT) and Green Satoshi (GNT), plunged following the announcement that the app would ban players from mainland China.
GMT fell from $1.24 to $0.83 following the ban announcement but has regained strength and is now at $1.05. The same thing happened with GST as it dropped by more than 26% or from $2.03 to $1.53. The good news is that it gained better traction and is currently trading at $1.86.
In an announcement Thursday via Twitter, STEPN said:
“If users in mainland China are found, STEPN will stop providing GPS to their accounts at 24:00 on July 15, 2022 (UTC+8) according to the terms of use and IP location services.”STEPN added that they apologize for the “inconvenience and thank you for your understanding! STEPN has not engaged in any business in mainland China since its establishment and has not provided download channels.”

The STEPN CrazeSTEPN is a move-to-earn lifestyle app launched in December 2021 and is said to have over 800,000 active users daily. It’s a massive hit, especially for fitness enthusiasts who ravel in earning crypto for doing something routine like moving around, exercising, brisk walking, and jogging.
The growth of STEPN is fantastic, considering that the app rewards people for being active and healthy. The app’s ambassadors incentivize active community members with NFT sneakers which they can use to walk around or run in neighborhoods while earning GST.
Players can quickly earn a maximum of $50 daily depending on the type and number of sneakers they own and the frequency they play on a daily grind.
