>100 days on, is LEASH sharing the same fortunes as SHIB after Public Sale
On 30 March, developers behind the popular meme cryptocurrency Shiba Inu (SHIB) unveiled the “SHIB Metaverse.” It consisted of 100,595 plots of virtual land put up for grabs.
The sale of lands on the metaverse was divided into three phases – The Bid Event and the Holders event being the first two phases, and the Public Sale being the third phase. In the first two phases, the network’s LEASH and SHIBOSHI tokens were used to drive the land sale project as only the holders of these tokens were allowed to bid and purchase lands.
Upon conclusion of the Bid Event and the Holders event, SHIB commenced public sales on 23 April. In doing so, it allowed anyone interested to snatch up the remaining lands with their LEASH tokens.
According to data from NFTGo, since its launch, only 19,813 plots have been purchased so far by 5,700 holders. Following a gradual decline since April, market capitalization for the project stood at $5.97M at press time. Furthermore, total sales made registered a figure of $973,864 on the charts.

Upon commencement of the public sales phase, LEASH’s price stood at $996. With perceived investors’ apathy aggravated by the crypto-winter, the alt embarked on a downtrend and marked its spot at $443.49 at press time.
