It was a great weekend for the leading metaverse tokens MANA (Decentraland) and SAND (The Sandbox) as both continued to rise. While MANA had a 15% increase by Sunday, The Sandbox token reported an 8% increase. These statistics reflect the growing investor interest in web3 virtual worlds and their great potential; after all, the two metaverse tokens have recently risen significantly more than other types of crypto!
What Does the Metaverse MANA & SAND Tokens Rise Mean?
Over the past weekend, the two metaverse tokens SAND and MANA rose in terms of their USD value. Decentraland’s coin, MANA, hit a high of $0.8068 on January 29. CoinMarketCap data shows. Meanwhile, The Sandbox’s SAND reported a peak of $0.801 on January 30. At the time of writing, both coins have fallen slightly in value. However, their sudden emergence is definitely worth a look. Why?
For starters, these metaverse tokens have been growing at a much faster rate than other types of cryptocurrencies. This means that new users may invest more in virtual worlds this year than ever before. From digital real estate to events and branding, the metaverse is full of business potential. Of course, Decentraland and The Sandbox are undoubtedly the most successful examples.
Will Decentraland and The Sandbox become more popular?
The Sandbox and Decentraland had a busy year in 2022 – and 2023 looks no different. For example, The Sandbox recently launched the official Puss in Boots Experience, which allows players to complete missions in the metaverse and win exclusive NFTs.
Decentraland also released a new sub-project within the metaverse titled Decentraland Worlds. This digital space is different from the main map of the virtual world; there, users can customize new 3D locations, organize events or participate in various activities.
Finally, Decentraland and The Sandbox will continue to evolve this year. The recent rise in MANA and SAND proves that physical investors are also more inclined to get involved in the Web3 universe.
