Developers behind popular meme cryptocurrency shiba inu (SHIB) have unveiled details of their virtual reality project "SHIB: The Metaverse," announcing 100,595 land plots, some of which will remain private.
- Land plots will be released in phases. The introductory stage will unlock 36,431 plots, divided into four categories: Silver Fur, Gold Tail, Platinum Paw and Diamond Teeth and priced between 0.2 ether (ETH) to 1 ETH.
- The team has decided to use neutral cryptocurrency as a land pricing token to ensure there is no downside risk to Shiba Inu native coins.
- "Using our ecosystem tokens is a risk, as we would need to dump our own tokens price cashing them! And that's far away from our plans," developers said in the announcement published Wednesday.
- Land buyers will be able to generate passive income, gather in-game resources, and generate rewards, which the team said it will reveal soon.
- Landowners can rename their plot while using and burning the dog-themed SHIB token.
- "We will be introducing the first special role that shiba inu $SHIB will play in the metaverse," the announcement said. "By welcoming a mechanic to burn $SHIB independently while renaming your land plot, furthermore, this should start soon after land events and public sale have ended."
- The rest of the SHIB ecosystem coins such as LEASH and BONE will play a role as more phases are rolled out, developers said, adding that LEASH holders will be able to purchase lands in later stages.
- The metaverse will be developed in Shibarium, a layer 2, or companion, system for SHIB.
- The SHIB token was flat, near 0.00002274 at press time. Developers hinted at a foray into the metaverse in early February.

Solana CME Futures Fell Short of BTC and ETH Debuts, but There's a Catch

When adjusted for asset market capitalization SOL's relative futures volume looks better, K33 Research noted.
What to know:
- Solana's SOL futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on Monday, with a notional daily volume of $12.3 million and $7.8 million in open interest, significantly lower than the debuts of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures.
- Despite the seemingly lackluster debut, when adjusted to market value, SOL's first-day figures are more in line with BTC's and ETH's, according to K33 Research.
- Despite the bearish market conditions, the launch of CME SOL futures offers new ways for institutions to manage their exposure to the token, said Joshua Lim of FalconX.
