Since this is my first forum post, I’d like to introduce myself - I work on the analytics side of SWGOH mainly focusing on the in-game economy. So, I just do a lot of math.
With the upcoming release of Grand Arena Championships and the Geonosis Territory Battle, we will be introducing 2 new currencies, one earned from Grand Arena Championships and the other from the new Territory Battle.
New Grand Arena Championships Currency: Championship Tokens
Grand Arena Championship Tokens will be primarily earned through participation in Grand Arena Championship events, but they will also be earned through performing Feats. We’ll be introducing a new Grand Arena Championship tab to the store and we’ll have a post in the near future about what you’ll be able to purchase from there.
New Territory Battle Currency: Mk II Guild Event Tokens
Similar to how we added Gear 12+ as an exclusive reward to the Heroic Sith Triumvirate Raid, we’re adding a new store and exclusive currency to the new Geonosis Territory Battle to incentivize guilds to participate in the new content. Geonosis Territory Battle will be a difficult challenge for many Guilds but it's something for Guilds to strive towards over time. The rewards from this store will be very valuable for powering your team and enable your guild to complete older game modes even faster.
Guild Event Tokens will be earned from the Geonosian Territory Battle in addition to the new Mk II Guild Event Tokens.
Keep an eye out for more updates as we get closer to the release of Grand Arena Championships and the Geonosis Territory Battle.

New shop means new things!
This is why we can't have nice things, such as not having to scroll through and check 10+ shops.
is seems the current in game economy is in a hyperinflation period devaluing many aspects of the game.
@CG_Cyanides can you share how this hyperinflation period will be countered?
*edit grammar
At least you can spend it on gear!
And maybe a TNT!
WCW is coming back!

That reads like it's going to be the new g12 finishers that will get you to g13. So there's hope that it's not going to be a (close to) full stars only reward.
they didn't say the new characters would be exclusive to the MK II currency so far, plus darth malak can still use it

Your first three aren’t really a shop currency (they’re more of a resource, like credits), but droids especially are still relevant to newer players. IIRC sim tickets were a pain to remove.
Arena tokens frequently are converted to prestige for me, I wouldn’t consider them shards only.
Don't worry, we'll get hundreds of mkII shard shop currency from the 2022 HAAT. And nowhere to spend it.
Thats really all that matters.
Soon.
