Shiba Inu's mainstream advancement is now being championed by The Sandbox through a newly unveiled integration for the meme coin. In a mutually beneficial move, The Sandbox game said members of the Shiba Inu community can take part in its #RiseOfTheMemecoin campaign.

Since its inception, Shiba Inu has tried to explore new avenues to engage its community. This has made it very open to wide-ranging innovation. Gaming is one of the key growth options the lead developers are always considering, and recognition from The Sandbox is a good boost.

In the #RiseOfTheMemecoin campaign, participants will need to hold both SHIB and SAND to create avatars, whose uses encompass The Sandbox's metaverse. The update from the gaming giant has triggered intrigue within the Shiba Inu ecosystem. From the responses to the post on X, many in the ShibArmy are already exploring collaboration efforts to best harness the opportunity.
The update of the collaboration comes at a time when the price of SHIB is recording a unique uptick on the market. At the time of writing, Shiba Inu has jumped by more than 3% to $0.00001678, with trading volume trying to play catch up.
With the new demand avenue for SHIB from The Sandbox, the token might see an additional uptick in volume moving forward.
