The German company could be looking to establish deeper roots within the cryptocurrency space. One of the most exciting areas in the crypto space at the moment is the metaverse. Adidas might be looking to establish a presence in the metaverse space.
The company is flirting with the metaverse, and The Sandbox could be the company it partners with to explore this new exciting field. Adidas purchased a 144-parcel space in The Sandbox’s virtual space.
Following this acquisition, Adidas said, “Adidas Originals is diving into the Metaverse and headed for the Sandbox with our first immersive and always-on virtual experience. Join us as we take our first steps into this brave new world of originality.”
The Sandbox has been one of the biggest winners in the metaverse in recent weeks, rising by more than 260% since the start of the month.
