## Introduction

Sandbox, a metaverse platform, [is one of the leading virtual worlds](https://www.gate.io/learn/articles/what-is-the-sandbox/88 "is one of the leading virtual worlds") that is powering immersive interactions on web3. Apart from partnering many fintech firms like Adidas, Gucci Vault Warner Music Group and Ubisoft it is also working with various celebrities who include Snoop Dogg and Paris Hilton who have an impact on the adoption of [SAND, Sandbox’s native token](https://www.gate.io/blog_detail/409/the-sandbox-everything-you-need-to-know "SAND, Sandbox’s native token"), and its value.

This article explores how the celebrity Paris Hilton influenced its price surge. It also covers the collaboration between Sandbox and Hilton as well as the recently launched virtual world dating platform.

## Value of Sandbox token (SAND) Surpasses $0.50

Last week the value of SAND surged past $0.50 due to the news of the collaboration between Sandbox and Paris Hilton, a popular American celebrity. On 22 May 2022, Hilton announced that 11.11 Media had partnered with Sandbox to launch a collection of her avatars before her Los Angeles musical concert.

Paris Hilton’s announcement led to a 6% price surge of SAND, pushing it past the $0.50 level. There were also positive movements in some of SAND’s metrics such as Daily Active Addresses (DAA). [According to Santiment](https://embed.santiment.net/chart?ps=the-sandbox&pt=SAND&df=2023-05-21T23%3A00%3A00.000Z&dt=2023-05-24T23%3A00%3A00.000Z&emcg=1&wm=price_usd%3Bdaily_active_addresses&wax=0%3B1&wc=%2326C953%3B%23FFAD4D&ws=%7B%22interval%22%3A%221d%22%7D%3B "According to Santiment"), on 24 May the number of daily active addresses increased by 34% from 488 to 656.

On the other hand, whale accumulation increased after Hilton announced the collaboration. That development created additional impetus to the SAND bullish sentiment. Specifically, since 22 May the whales have added nearly 7 million SANDS to their crypto portfolios. The graph below shows the increase in whale balances following the partnership between Sandbox and Hilton.
