The interest in rising metaverses

After Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook (currently Meta), announced that his company would dedicate itself fully to developing his metaverse, interest in this digital world increased. However, Mark is not the first, nor will he be the last, to try to develop metaverses. In the ecosystem of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, several platforms have already developed or are developing their ecosystems.

For example, platforms like Decentraland and its LAND token have already worked on their metaverse for some years. After the Facebook announcement, they have appreciated it in recent weeks. To this has also been added the SAND token of The Sandbox, as already highlighted previously in the text, which, at the end of November, had a price increase of 60%.
