Why Metaverse-Play Decentraland (MANA) Is Outperforming Bitcoin, Ethereum Today

Ethereum-based virtual world platform Decentraland (MANA) is outperforming the wider cryptocurrency market late Monday amid metaverse optimism.

Why It’s Moving? MANA moved higher alongside other Metaverse plays like The Sandbox (SAND) and Enjin Coin (ENJ) at press time as the global cryptocurrency market cap remained flat at $1.7 trillion.
MANA gained traction among retail traders as the token trended on Stocktwits. The coin was also seen trending on CoinMarketCap price-tracking website.

Rapper Ice Cube offered a “guided tour” in Decentraland through a tweet on Monday. The artist said visitors could check out the “coolest show in town” titled “Man vs. Machine,” which contained art by him and Trevor Jones, a traditional painter who says he is fascinated with art and tech collaboration.
