Step App Shuts Down as FITFI Token Sits 99.9% Below Peak
Move-to-earn pioneer Step App is closing its doors by Aug. 21 after four years, with FITFI essentially wiped out from its all-time high.
Step App is done. The move-to-earn project announced it will wind down all services by August 21, pulling the curtain on four years of operations. If you're still holding FITFI, that news probably stings — but the chart already told this story long ago.

The broader move-to-earn sector exploded in 2021 and 2022, fueled by speculative enthusiasm and the idea that fitness could be monetized through blockchain incentives. STEPN was the category king, but dozens of copycats — Step App among them — flooded in chasing the same thesis. When token prices collapsed and new user growth dried up, the economics of these platforms became impossible to sustain. Step App lasted longer than many, but the outcome was the same.

The moment the token stops going up, new users stop joining, rewards stop being worth anything, and the flywheel reverses hard. No token price means no product. FITFI is the latest exhibit in that case.
If you're sitting on FITFI bags, assess your exit options before August 21 — after shutdown, liquidity and utility could evaporate entirely. Continue reading at Cointelegraph.
