The blockchain game studio and non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace Vulcan forged pyr is making a comeback after struggling with this year’s bear market.

Its play-to-earn cryptocurrency PYR climbed by 25% in the seven days to October 6, which was matched by increasing social buzz.

As of 6 October, some forecasters, including CoinCodex and TechNewsLeader, were bullish over PYR's long-term capabilities.

What Is Vulcan Forged (PYR)?

Vulcan Forged has developed around a dozen games and has more than 20,000 community members. Its staple experience is the VulcanVerse, a metaverse drawing on Greek and Roman themes. There are 10,000 plots of land, which can be purchased, upgraded and traded.

The Vulcan Forged documentation said: “In VulcanVerse, create your own quests and adventures, forage for NFTs, and battle against other Vulcanites. The native token for VulcanVerse, $PYR, is used as a settlement, staking, and gaming token.”

Fittingly, the firm’s main office is located in Athens, Greece, but it is led by a CEO, Jamie Thomson, who is based in London.

The PYR token

The PYR token, based on Ethereum (ETH), was designed to have a range of utilities in the Vulcan Forged ecosystem. Investors can purchase and sell NFTs in its marketplace using PYR.

The ERC-20 token can also be earnt by playing Vulcan Forged’s numerous games. Other methods to earn yield include staking the token in land plots on the VulcanVerse.

While there are fees in-game, such as transacting on the marketplace, the gaming studio has used Polygon (MATIC) to reduce these costs.

PYR is part of a dual token system. Its sister token goes under the ticker LAVA and is primarily used for rewarding players. Anyone engaging with Vulcan Forged’s games will earn experience points, along with LAVA tokens.

PYR’s incentives are heavily based in a rewards pool. These pools are dedicated to those levelling up and staking their NFTs.

PYR’s price history

Vulcan Forged launched its cryptocurrency on 19 April 2021 at $1.97. Despite an immediate rally, it soon fell to an all-time low of $1.16 on 22 June that year.

Its largest breakout to date started in that October, during the rise of metaverses and play-to-earn games in the wider market. Vulcan Forged hosted its own event towards the end of the month. Its price then rose from $14.07 to a high of $22.47 on 31 October.

PYR managed to sustain this momentum and hit its all-time high of $49.74 on 1 December. This came after a partnership with AAG Ventures.

It said in a Medium Post: “We can confirm AAG Ventures have purchased plots of VulcanVerse land and $PYR. The whole deal involves over 1 million USD of funding.”

However,  PYR soon crashed with the 2022 bear market. It did see a slight peak in April 2022, when a partnership with Binance allowed investors to directly purchase PYR with fiat currencies. However, by the beginning of July, the gaming token had plummeted below $3.

Vulcan forged was showing signs of recovery, as of 6 October. Lunar Crush recorded that its social activity was up by a staggering 1,210%, ranking it the highest out of all cryptos.

Meanwhile, PYR’s price was trading at $4.48, at the time of writing. It was up 25% on the previous seven days.

When considering a vulcan forged pyr crypto price prediction, it is important to keep in mind that cryptocurrency markets remain extremely volatile, making it difficult to accurately predict what a coin or token’s price will be in a few hours, and even harder to give long-term estimates. As such, analysts and algorithm-based forecasters can and do get their predictions wrong.

If you are considering investing in cryptocurrency tokens, we recommend that you always do your own research. Look at the latest market trends, news, technical and fundamental analysis, and expert opinion before making any investment decision. Keep in mind that past performance is no guarantee of future returns. Never trade with money that you cannot afford to lose.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
