According to the report, 18,700 plots have been bought so far
Shiba Inuart, a user dedicated to the Shiba Inu community, shared recent stats from SHIB: The Metaverse. According to the report, 18,700 plots have been purchased so far, while the number of current owners exceeds 5,100.
As stated on the shib.io website, a total of 100,595 lands will be unlocked over time. During the first introductory phase, 36,431 lands will be revealed and just 32,124 will be available for purchase. Some lands will remain locked as they represent key locations for travel within the Metaverse and will be used as common ground.
In response to community demand, the Shiba Inu Team announced that lands can now be purchased with the Shiba Inu Token in SHIB: The Metaverse, while sharing mint details with SHIB in a recent tweet.
Also, Shiba Inu has gained more than 4,000 holders in just a few days. According to WhaleStats, the total number of SHIB holders is currently 1,143,515. Barely six days back, the count stood at 1,139,916. The recent increase remains a positive sign. Although an increase in holders may not have an immediate impact on the price, it may signify interest in an asset over time.
As reported by U.Today, Shiba Inu owners will be able to receive rewards for burning SHIB tokens starting May 17. At the end of April, Shiba Inu launched its engraving portal in collaboration with the decentralized finance project Ryoshi’s Vision (RYOSHI).
Rewards will be received by users in RYOSHI tokens every two weeks. Owners of burntSHIB tokens are also entitled to 0.49% of all transactions. Currently, more than 22 billion SHIB have been burned since the portal began operations.
Shiba Inu acceptance is growing
As previously reported, Shiba Inu and other cryptocurrencies are now accepted as payments by luxury yacht charter and brokerage firm Camper & Nicholsons via BitPay. The 240-year-old company now accepts cryptocurrency payments, including SHIB, for its entire fleet of yachts, for purchase, charter and all other services.
Per CoinMarketCap data, SHIB currently ranks 15th largest in market capitalization. Shiba Inu was also trading at $0.0000207 after falling to lows of $0.0000184 at the end of April.
