Akash Network (AKT) Faces Volatility as Landmark Burn-Mint Equilibrium Upgrade Goes Live on March 23

Akash Network (AKT) is experiencing significant price turbulence, retracing roughly 6.8% to $0.57 as the broader market enters a risk-off phase just hours before the network’s most anticipated milestone: the Burn-Mint Equilibrium (BME) upgrade. Despite the short-term dip, AKT remains up nearly 30% over the last week, with traders positioning for the 14:00 UTC hard fork that transforms the protocol’s tokenomics into a deflationary, utility-linked model.
