To commemorate the FIFA World Cup in 2022, Shiba Inu and Block Forest have partnered to develop a series of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Blockchain platform Block Forest is built on Binance’s smart chain. This comes only a few days after the NFT World Cup introduced five NFTs, each representing a country’s flag.
The mentioned NFTs were up and running for a period of 72 hours before they were removed from the list. The NFTs were available for purchase, sale, and trading on the platform. However, further specifics about the NFTs themselves are still pending.

Shiba Inu has also been popular with whales because of the meme coin’s debut of its metaverse, which includes 100,595 virtual plots of land. Some virtual lands in the Shiba Inu metaverse will stay available to everyone in the metaverse in the case of the Shiba Inu metaverse. However, additional lands will be accessible for purchase. These lands will symbolize roadways (corridors): Avenues, Boulevards, and Hubs.
