Holders of the popular memecoin Shiba Inu (SHIB), will now be able to use the cryptocurrency to purchase land in the Shiba metaverse.

Holders of the popular memecoin Shiba Inu (SHIB), will now be able to use the cryptocurrency to purchase land in the Shiba metaverse.
On Wednesday, the Shiba Inu team took to Twitter to reveal that the SHIB token could now be used to mint parcels of land in the recently unveiled virtual reality project “SHIB: The Metaverse.”

There are 100,595 different pieces of land on offer in the SHIB: The Metaverse. Initially it was only possible to purchase land using ETH. Now, SHIB’s integration into the metaverse project makes it possible to not only purchase land, but grants users added customisation options for their virtual land as well.
Landowners in the SHIB: The Metaverse will be able to generate passive income, gather in-game resources, and generate rewards, although these are yet to be revealed.
Land plots in the SHIB metaverse are set to be released in phases. The introductory stage saw 36,431 plots become unlocked on April 13 with the land being divided into four categories: Silver Fur, Gold Tail, Platinum Paw and Diamond Teeth, priced between 0.2 ETH to 1 ETH.
Despite the popular narrative that paints SHIB out to be a simple memecoin, solely driven by hype and Elon Musk tweets, the SHIB ecosystem has grown to support include NFTs and the Defi-platform ShibaSwap.
The SHIB ecosystem is additionally comprised of subsidiary tokens, including LEASH and BONE, which developers say will play more of a significant role as the metaverse project is developed. At present, holders that lock their LEASH are given priority access to land bids, while BONE is a governance token that allows holders to vote on decisions concerning the development of the metaverse.
According to a recent Medium post from the Unification Foundation, SHIB: The Metaverse will be developed in Shibarium, a forthcoming Layer-2 scaling solution for SHIB. A public test for Shibarium is set to go live over the next few months with a public beta to follow soon afterwards.
At the time of writing, SHIB has experienced a brief recovery gaining roughly 6% in the last 12 hours. Overall, price action concerning the token remains sluggish, with SHIB currently down 12.3% over the past two weeks. The token is now trading at $0.0000218, down over 74% from its all-time high on October 28 last year.
On April 23rd, developers launched SHIB burning portal, ShibBurn, which has seen more than 22.5 billion SHIB tokens (approx. $500,000) removed from circulation. Since SHIB’s inception approximately 410.32 trillion SHIB — 41% of the total supply — have now been burned.

SEC’s Crypto Advocate Says Blockchain Code Is Protected By The Constitution

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce argued that publishing open-source blockchain code is a protected activity under the First Amendment and developers should not be automatically liable as securities intermediaries for how others use their software. She emphasized that liability should fall on those who engage in unlawful conduct, not the tool creators. Her remarks reflect a broader regulatory shift at the SEC under Chair Paul Atkins, moving away from regulation by enforcement. The agency's Crypto Task Force is reviewing how existing securities laws, designed for traditional intermediaries, apply to decentralized systems. Recent SEC guidance also suggested some platforms accessing decentralized protocols may not qualify as traditional brokers. The SEC's strategic plan through 2030 indicates blockchain and crypto assets remain a long-term priority as potentially transformative technologies for financial infrastructure.

Crypto Expert Says Something Bad Is Coming For Bitcoin, What To Expect

A crypto expert warns Bitcoin faces a major crash. Analyst Tony Research notes BTC broke below a key support level around $70,000 and a long-term ascending channel. Trading below the Ichimoku Cloud is seen as a major bearish signal. He expects a brief bounce to around $74,000, followed by a potential plunge toward $56,000-$54,000. The market is deemed firmly bearish, with any rallies likely being short-term rebounds within a broader downtrend.

Crypto Billionaires Rally Behind Nigel Farage As Political Stakes Rise

Reform UK’s fundraising surged sixfold in early 2026, raising $12.5 million—more than any other British party—largely driven by two major crypto donors. Christopher Harborne (Tether stakeholder) donated $4 million, while Ben Delo (BitMEX co-founder) gave $5.4 million. This combined $9.4 million surpassed the roughly $5.4 million each raised by Labour and the Conservatives. Nigel Farage, Reform’s leader, has actively courted crypto support, advocating for lower crypto taxes and a Bitcoin reserve. Meanwhile, a separate $6.7 million personal gift from Harborne to Farage is under parliamentary inquiry regarding its declaration. Reform’s rise, fueled significantly by crypto-linked donations, marks a major shift in UK political financing.

BREAKING – Michael Saylor Tries To Cool Bitcoin’s Internal Rivalries — But Can He?

In a new paper, Michael Saylor addresses internal tensions within the Bitcoin community by identifying four primary camps: Maximalists, who view it as sound money; Capitalists, focused on institutional integration; Technologists, pushing protocol upgrades; and Fundamentalists, prioritizing decentralization and self-custody. Saylor argues these divisions reflect Bitcoin's maturation into a broader financial system, reaching individuals, companies, and governments, rather than signaling collapse. He suggests Bitcoin can maintain its core protocol while supporting growth in surrounding financial markets and products. This analysis comes amid market pressure on his company, MicroStrategy, following its first Bitcoin sale since 2022. The central question remains whether Saylor can mediate these rivalries rooted in money, politics, and principle.

Hoskinson Denies Cardano Exit Rumors: ‘I’m Not Leaving’

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson dismissed rumors of his departure, clarifying in a June 4 livestream that he is only stepping back from public communication, not resigning from the project. This followed community concern after his "taking a break" post on X. Hoskinson cited an unsustainable level of online toxicity, with nearly one-third of replies to his posts being hostile or abusive, making meaningful engagement nearly impossible. While acknowledging X's role in crypto information flow, he stated the psychological cost is too high. He emphasized his focus remains on technological development like RealFi, Midnight, and research, not on ADA's price. Hoskinson described a "tale of two Cardanos": significant protocol advancements versus poor market performance leading critics to label it a failure. He called for the community to resolve this dissonance by moving discussions away from X, rethinking incentives, and developing a new shared roadmap. He was critical of the Cardano Foundation's lack of accountability. Hoskinson announced he will take time away from public videos and social media to reflect, but will continue working on Midnight. He stated he will only engage in channels where he is treated with respect and dignity.
