In November 2025, the Gala network witnessed the launch of liquidity campaigns – for example, a trading campaign on GalaSwap – which temporarily boosted demand for GALA due to trading rewards and liquidity movement.
The Gala project is expanding its ecosystem: in the 'Music/Video/Entertainment' section – through the launch of tokens associated with artists – which shows that GALA is not only targeting gaming but also expanding usage (NFTs, music, digital content).
Technically / structurally: there is a plan for “staking / node-staking” that involves locking a large portion of the supply (about 2.8 billion GALA until June 2025) in GalaChain. The idea is that this reduces selling pressure on the market in the short term.
⚠️ Challenges, volatility, and risks
On August 27, 2025: GALA dropped ~29.87% within 24 hours after announcing a governance update and a migration plan to an EVM-compatible chain aimed at expanding the network's capabilities. This update caused concern among some investors about the risks associated with the migration.
Despite development efforts, the impression of some users/owners of “nodes” in the community has become negative: in discussion forums (subreddits), some indicate that daily distributions have stopped — due to a significant change in “staking” conditions (e.g., the need for millions of GALA to run a node) — leading to accusations of being a “scam / rug-pull”.
The overall cryptocurrency market + risk appetite affect GALA: the currency is still facing strong volatility, and there may be continued decline if the general interest in “GameFi / Web3 games” does not improve.
🔭 What do analysts / the community expect for GALA
Some analyses suggest a significant long-term rise if Gala's plans succeed: a “potential” massive target (but theoretical) — although it should be considered closer to “very optimistic forecasts”.
In the short / medium term (2025–2026): it is likely to experience volatility, with periods of ups and downs — as the market's dependence on the actual performance of the network, games, and the adoption of NFT/DeFi tools.
Some users have lost trust, especially those who participated in “nodes” early on. Aside from that, there are those who still hope for an “alt-season” or a return of interest in Web3 games, but doubts are evident within the community.
🎯 Is GALA an “opportunity” or a “big risk” now?
GALA in 2025 looks like an “ambitious project” — with some good elements: network development, expanding use cases (games, NFT, content), and attempts to reduce selling pressure through staking.
But on the other hand, the risks have not disappeared: the transition to a new chain + instability of node distributions + community doubts + reliance on adoption that goes beyond “price speculation”.
If you are considering entering or “picking up” some GALA — I advise:
Treat it as “high-risk speculation” +
Do not invest money you cannot afford to lose
Follow development news (games + technology) closely
