Within mere hours of its release, the prices of \u201cCovert\u201d skins skyrocketed five-to-tenfold, sparking panic among traders and triggering a massive boom across trading platforms. According to PriceEmpire data, CS2\u2019s total market capitalization shifted dramatically overnight: demand for \u201cred\u201d skins exploded, while rare knives and gloves, conversely, dropped sharply in value.<\/p>\n<h3>A Price Explosion: From Tens to Hundreds<\/h3>\n<p>The update introduced the ability to use the Trade Up system to obtain knives \u2014 something previously impossible. As a result, all \u201cCovert\u201d skins eligible for upgrade recipes instantly became overvalued assets.

Some traders are selling everything out of fear of a collapse, while others are buying aggressively, betting that Valve won\u2019t intervene.
