The Sandbox ($SAND )
Price: ~$0.0389 USD
24h: +4.3% (~+$0.0017); range about $0.0372–$0.0409
24h volume: ~$31–44M (varies by aggregator)
Market cap: ~$114M
Supply: ~2.94B circulating / 3.00B total
Performance
7d: roughly +8% (from ~$0.036)
30d: roughly −5% (from ~$0.041)
Still ~99.5% below the Nov 2021 ATH of $8.44.
Context
The main overhang remains the 21–22 Aug 2026 Base/BSC bridge exploit: unbacked SAND was minted on those chains; Ethereum and Polygon SAND were not affected. Real extraction was on the order of ~$0.7–1.5M, not the headline “face value” of the phantom mint. Bridging on Base and BSC was shut; Korean venues Upbit and Bithumb froze deposits/withdrawals; Coinbase dropped SAND futures.
The Sandbox is running a 1:1 ETH-SAND compensation window for eligible pre-attack bridged holders (claims through 22 Sep 2026; CEX holders generally handled via exchanges). That process, plus any Korean listing review, is the main project-specific news. Broader crypto beta still dominates day-to-day moves.
Levels (short-term, descriptive only)
Recent trade is clustered in the high-$0.03s.
Near support sits around the $0.037 24h low / recent weekly base; nearby resistance is the $0.040–$0.041 band (24h high and ~1-month reference). Volume is elevated versus market cap, consistent with post-incident trading rather than a quiet grind.
