Most metaverse tokens rose sharply on Monday as cryptocurrencies retreated.
The jump happened ahead of Apple’s WWDC event on Monday.
Metaverse tokens like Decentraland MANA, Sandbox’s SAND, and Axie Infinity’s AXS were among the best-performing coins on Monday. Other metaverse tokens like Enjin Coin and ApeCoin were also in the green. Most of these coins rose by more than 1.5%, which is a better performer than other coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Apple WWDC event
The main reason why metaverse tokens jumped on Monday is the upcoming WWDC event by Apple. Historically, this has been the biggest event in the tech calendar since the company usually unveils its key upgrades.&
Apple is seen as the benchmark for key products. It made key products like iPhones, Apple Watch, and iPads cool. Today, other companies in the technology industry have come up with similar products.
Analysts believe that the WWDC event will see the company unveil its virtual reality set, which is its first major product in a decade. The company has been working on this product in the past seven years. In this period, the company has long believed that its product was not ready yet. According to the& WSJ, the device will retail at $3,000, making it one of the company’s most premium products.
Experts believe that Apple’s entry in the industry will take the virtual reality industry mainstream. In the past, attempts by companies like Facebook and Microsoft to take them mainstream have failed. Today, only a handful of people use these products.
Therefore,& metaverse tokens like MANA, SAND, Enjin Coin, and AXS token have risen because of the ongoing hype. There is a belief that this hype could rival that of artificial intelligence.
Will the metaverse tokens rally continue?
Decentraland MANA price jumped by more than 6% while Sandbox and Axie Infinity price soared by more than 5%. Similarly, Enjin and ApeCoin rose by over 4%.&
However, I believe that these gains will not hold because of a concept known as buying the rumor and selling the news. This is a situation where an asset price jumps ahead of a major news release and then declines when the news happens.
In this case, these tokens will retreat possibly because Apple’s device will not have anything to do with these tokens and their ecosystem.
