April’s Huge News
- On April 4, Steam updated the API, which effectively put an end to p2p trading in its previous form. Many p2p marketplaces were forced to temporarily suspend operations, some small endpoints were temporarily closed to users, while larger websites survived.
Due to the update and the temporary suspension of p2p trading, in this report you will find only statistics from the Trade Mode.

Which skins increased in price the most?
