Bitcoin and Ethereum recover ground, Manchester City to build virtual stadium

Bitcoin and Ethereum snapped six days of losses as investors digest a raft of international sanctions imposed on Russia in retaliation for President Vladimir Putin ordering troops into Ukraine. Bitcoin was up 3.55% at US$38,151 easing concern the biggest digital token by market value could revisit the 6 month-lows seen in January. Ethereum was 6.21% higher at US$2,682, in tandem with gains in the wider market.

Manchester City has begun building a virtual Etihad Stadium in the metaverse with the help of new partner Sony. The Premier League champions hope the virtual stadium will allow fans to enjoy all the thrills of attending a real game and give international followers the chance to experience the match-day atmosphere, Cointelegraph reported.
