What Else: Shiba Inu’s three-day metaverse land bidding event came to an end over the weekend.

Unacceptable @Shibtoken LAND launch. Due to your overbidding function Whales win once again. Loyal holders should have at least been compensated within final bid sale for all lost fees. Catastrophic start to a Metaverse launch. I for one will definitely not be participating now

Some holders complained that they were priced out of the bidding auction because Whales were able to overbid to secure their land.

Price Action: According to data from Benzinga Pro, SHIB was trading at $0.00002419, down 6.11% in the last 24 hours.
