MANA/USD: What next for Decentraland price?
In terms of MANA price, the latest uptick suggests that investors could be taking on a new bullish outlook for the metaverse industry. The past few months have all been about the hot narrative of artificial intelligence powered tokens and meme coins.
However, investors are seemingly unfazed by the setbacks around major tech company steps in the metaverse – particularly that of Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta. Despite this, the metaverse token space, led by the likes of Axie Infinity and The Sandbox, is showing some resurgence.
If Decentraland continues to see growth amid the release of new features and user engagement, it’s likely its MANA price could claw back most of the losses seen since the crypto winter. The immediate price action might however see sellers eye prices’ recent support levels if prices break below $0.50.
