GNO was released to the market in May 2017 with an initial price of $51.64. Very soon, it could rise to $322 in the same year. It was a wonderful investment for people who had bought this coin at its release. However, it didn’t last long, and the GNO price fell again. In 2018, it could set another record of $401.17. After that, it fell into a two-year recession and even reached its lowest price of $7. GNO started 2021 with a growth of $110 and reached the highest value of $579 at the end of the year. Although 2021 sounded amazing for GNO owners, 2022 had many fluctuations. This coin faced recession again and ended the year with a price of $85.

recommendations on how to carry out the necessary regulatory changes. According to the same
paper mentioned above, “A crypto asset is a digital representation of value that is not issued by
a central bank, but is capable of being traded, transferred or stored electronically by regular
