With the growing craze of metaverses, countries are globally competing with one another to become the next “metaverse hub”. After the United Arab Emirates recently showed interest in building its own metaverse, Saudi Arabia has also come forward to take part in this crypto bandwagon. Both these countries, over the past few years, have been exploring policies and investments linked to cryptocurrencies, Web3, and the metaverse.

Sandbox (SAND) Price Surges
Reacting to this recent announcement, the price of The Sandbox (SAND) moved to $0.88 at the time of composition. And, according to the crypto market tracker published by CoinGape, this results in a growth of 17% over the past 1 hour, in contrast to a jump of 21% over the last 24 hours.
In 2021, the company successfully completed a Series B round of funding with a total of $93 million, which was led by SoftBank’s Vision Fund. Less than half a year later, the company was rumored to be attempting to secure an additional $400 million in funding, which would have given it a valuation of a whopping $4 billion.
