Spark crypto price crashes despite surging staking inflows

Spark crypto price has undone the recent gains. It has crashed by over 57% from its highest point this month and is sitting at its lowest swing since July 22.

Spark (SPK) token dropped to $0.08075, giving it a market capitalization of over $89 million, down from the all-time high of $190 million. 

SPK falls despite rising staking inflows

The Spark crypto token has plunged even as the staking market capitalization jump. Its staking market cap jumped by over $17 million in the last 24 hours to $155 million. This is a big increase from over $65 million on July 4.

The surging staking market cap is a positive sign, indicating that these investors anticipate the price will continue rising over time.

Spark’s network is also performing well as the SparkLend total value locked jumped by $11.4 million to over $4.72 billion. Its total deposits stood at over $6.98 billion and have generated $64.4 million in revenue.

Further data shows that the total assets in savings jumped by $19 million in the last 24 hours to $2.26 billion. Altogether, the network has over $7.3 billion, up by 17% in the last 30 days.

A potential issue with the Spark token is the ongoing dilution. According to CoinMarketCap, it is releasing 4.65 million new tokens worth $373,550 each day. Its next key unlock will happen in June next year when it will release 904.6 million tokens. These unlocks will continue through 2035.
