Although prices pulled back towards the close of trade, SAND token ended the day with nearly 24% gains. Thursday’s rally pushed the Sandbox token to $6.4, only $2.4 behind the token’s ATH of $8.8. However, it seems traders have started to take profits, as the SAND price is in the red on Friday.

A bullish crossover is a technical pattern that occurs when the MACD line (difference of 12-day and 26-day MACD) moves above its signal line (9-day EMA of MACD). The Sandbox token’s momentum has been moving towards bullish regions for some time now, as the contracting MACD histogram bars denote.

PwC Comes To The Sandbox

Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC), a multinational professional services network, has acquired a LAND site in the Sandbox metaverse. LAND is an NFT representing a plot of virtual real estate in the game. However, the announcement shared by Animoca Brands, the firm behind Sandbox, didn’t specify which plot PwC bought or for how much.

However, recent data shows LAND has sold for over $10,000 per plot. In detail, PwC is a global network of firms in 156 countries, employing more than 295,000 people. PwC’s Hong Kong division acquired the Sandbox real estate.

The metaverse is open for business. We welcome PwC Hong Kong to experience how The Sandbox fosters new immersive experiences and ways for brands to connect with customers. It’s an exciting time – and PwC is at the forefront of this emerging frontier.

Sebastien Borget, COO of The Sandbox, said in the announcement.

The onboarding of professional services firms like PwC paves the way for other organizations interested in joining Web 3.0. In addition, PwC can help firms less familiar with Web 3.0 technology by providing advisory services.
