Currently one GALA trades for USD $0.07628 (AUD $0.1207), indicating there is still room to the upside.

Gala Games is a blockchain-based platform aimed at transforming online gaming by allowing players to own, trade, and earn from in-game items as non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
It was created out of frustration with the gaming industry’s freemium model, which is seen as a huge drawback. Gala offers a decentralised ecosystem where gamers have control over their virtual assets and decisions within various games.
With GALA, users can participate in the platform, enabling governance and transactions, and shifting power from traditional centralised gaming companies to the players themselves.
