Why do CME IOM Memberships keep going down in price?

Why do CME IOM Memberships keep going down in price? Last sale was $39,000. These used to be much higher. It seems to be accelerating to lower prices quickly in the last 7 months. Will these go to zero?

Thanks,

It probably has something to do with this:
