The total market value of CS2 skins is nearly $7 billion. Last year, players opened 400 million cases, and each case requires a $2.5 key to open. Just from this, Valve made $1 billion. CS2 skins aren’t just a form of spending—they’re a type of holding. You can buy and sell them, though one policy last year wiped $2 billion off the market. Who would’ve thought that behind a shooting game lies a $6.6 billion trading market?
