According to @borgetsebastien, The Sandbox Alpha Season 6 now supports credit card payments via Transak, enabling direct fiat purchases of NFTs. According to @borgetsebastien, items available by card include Avatar Collections, Season Premium Passes, LAND, and user-generated NFTs on the Marketplace. According to @borgetsebastien, these purchases no longer require SAND or a crypto wallet for the listed items, meaning transactions on those assets can be executed in fiat rather than SAND.

According to @borgetsebastien, the launch of the 'Teletubbies: Custard Chaos' experience on The Sandbox platform has driven significant user participation, increasing engagement metrics and drawing attention to SAND token trading volumes. The collaboration leverages popular IP to attract new users, potentially supporting upward price action for SAND and related NFTs as reported by The Sandbox's official channels. Traders should monitor SAND token liquidity and NFT floor prices for potential short-term volatility and longer-term bullish sentiment, as branded metaverse experiences continue to trend in the crypto gaming sector (source: @borgetsebastien, sandbox.game).
