SAND price analysis
SAND hasn’t been doing well in recent months. Since mid-May, SAND has accompanied the downturn of the metaverse coin market. It only went over $1.00 for most of that time. Meanwhile, it never made a sustained move to higher support. In the first week of July, the overall crypto market saw a slight recovery. But SAND is struggling to establish new, higher levels of price support. SAND is currently trading at just over $1, down 4.41% over the past 24 hours.
Animoca Brands is one of the most active investors in Web3 spaces. Other assets include The Sandbox (SAND) and Axie Infinity (AXS). The metaverse coin market has become popular in recent years as games seek to move away from centralized models. As the number of players increased and cryptocurrencies were collected and traded, the popularity of crypto games exploded. Despite the overall bearish market, gaming finance, or GameFi, continues to see global partnerships. As Kriptokoin.com, we report the latest news from the metaverse and NFT markets here.
