It really just is an update to the otherwise very deflationary cryptocurrency token #SPS (Splintershards).
As can be seen in this graph picture, SPS just fell 20+ percent in less than an hour.
It is arguably a very small market - not least since almost all the released tokens are staked in-game for further airdrops. Therefore the market can very easily be both manipulated and incredibly volatile to changes in supply and demand.
Clearly, somebody wanted to unload a handful of tokens today.
They'll be back - as some old movie star would have said.
For new players:
If by any chance you haven't tried Splinterlands yet, please do go and use my Splinterlands referral link. It's free for you and beneficial for me 馃檹 Oh, and you risk making SPS (Splintershards) that sells for fiat money on exchanges, if not directly then at least via other cryptocurrencies.
