SAND is not follow the market, is metaverse trend ended?

After a month-long decline and hawkish remarks by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, crypto investors have finally seen some relief over the past 10 days thanks to the bull market.

According toCoinGecko, the global crypto market capitalization has increased by 9% in the past 30 days. Last week saw the price of “failed” coins like LUNC and LUNA increase by 235% and 96% respectively. Assets such as HNT, ATOM, ETC, EOS and GRT have all recorded double-digit gains > 10% in the last seven days.However, it's worth pointing out that Metaverse tokens seem to have missed out on a lot of that growth. ApeCoin's APE is up just 7% for the week, Sandbox's SAND is up 6%, while Decentraland's MANA is up just 2%.

Well, it looks like investors' attention has shifted from highly volatile metaverse-linked assets to safer assets like stablecoins.

A simple Google Trends search shows that interest in Metaverse-related activities has dropped significantly over the past few months. Thus, the failure of Metaverse-linked crypto assets to witness any major price growth over the past few weeks can be explained.
