STEPN ASICS NFT launch: GST, GMT token price surges on Web3 collaboration
https://capital.com/blockchain-technology-definitionThe Web3 exercise app STEPN has launched its own non-fungible tokens (NFTs) with the Japanese sports brand ASICS.
The move came as the Solana (SOL) blockchain has also collaborated with the sportswear company to create its own physical trainers.
STEPN rewards users for exercising through its utility token, the green satoshi token (GST). The Solana blockchain version of GST has seen a slight deviation from its long-term bearish trend and, at the time of writing on 7 November, it was up 38% over the past week, according to CoinMarketCap.
GMT, STEPN’s governance cryptocurrency, has also made gains as of 7 November with GMT having climbed by 10% week on week.

The NFT collection
Solana has partnered with ASICS to create a “versatile, light, supportive and durable” set of trainers. The new shoe includes “energetic cushioning”, breathable mesh, and the Solana gradient on the heel.
Each pair of shoes cost $200 USDC and can be bought with Solana Pay during the five-day period starting on the 4 November.
Along with the physical trainers, customers will receive an ASICS Badge NFT. This digital collectible will unlock access to future ASICS rewards, including eligibility for the upcoming STEPN NFT airdrop.

STEPN’s bullish price action
STEPN’s utility token GST has been plagued by the crypto winter. It recently fell to its all-time low of $0.021 on 30 September 2022.
However, GST also saw a large price spike after the ASICS partnership was announced. The Web3 token climbed to a high of $0.053 on 5 November.
The green satoshi token has since lost some of these gains. GST was trading at $0.033 as of 7 November. But it was still up 36% over the past seven days at the time of writing.
Similarly, the app’s governance token, GMT, has also seen bullish price activity. GMT climbed from a low of $0.49 on 4 November to $0.61 as of 7 November. It was also up 10% over the previous week, at the time of writing.
