The Sandbox (SAND) is the token of a blockchain virtual world, launched in 2020, where people build, own, and sell games on NFT land. SAND is the in-world currency for land and assets, staking, and voting. A top metaverse name with brand deals, it kept building while rivals shut down, but trades around 90% below its peak, depends on real users, and has a large ~3 billion supply still releasing.
Because SAND’s value is tied to an uncertain metaverse future, it trades far below its peak, and its supply keeps growing, it should be treated as a high-risk, speculative asset. In India, SAND is treated as a Virtual Digital Asset (VDA) under the Income-tax Act, so you can legally buy, hold, and sell it. Invest only an amount you are comfortable losing.
FIU-IND registration, ISO/IEC certification, and offline cold storage help keep customer assets secure.
Trade SAND anytime, with UPI and IMPS deposits typically credited within minutes.

CoinDCX provides tools and guides that help first-time investors get started with The Sandbox.

SAND is down around 90% from its peak, because the 2021 metaverse excitement that drove it faded and everyday usage fell. This is the most important point to understand before buying.

SAND has about 3 billion tokens, with more still being released over time, and its price can swing sharply. Research the platform’s real, current usage before you invest in The Sandbox coin.

Turn on app-based two-factor authentication, and confirm the exact token and ticker before you place your order.
Follow these 4 simple steps to start investing in The Sandbox (SAND) in India:
Create your account and complete KYC.
Transfer INR via UPI, IMPS, NEFT or RTGS.
Open the SAND market and check the live price.
Enter the INR amount and confirm your order.
Before buying SAND, add INR to your CoinDCX account via UPI, IMPS, NEFT, or RTGS.
Yes. The Sandbox (SAND) is treated as a Virtual Digital Asset under the Income-tax Act, so buying, holding, and selling are allowed, though it is not legal tender. India regulates crypto as a taxable, speculative asset, and platforms serving Indian users must be registered with FIU-IND under anti-money-laundering rules.
To buy SAND for the first time, sign up on an FIU-IND registered exchange that lists the token and follow the steps suggested on the platform.
The Sandbox Coin is currently available in USDT but not in INR on CoinDCX. Stay tuned for updates on when you can buy SAND in INR on our platform.
Add INR to your crypto exchange app by choosing UPI as the payment method, entering the amount, and approving the request in your UPI app. Once the balance reflects, open the SAND market, enter your INR amount, and confirm.

You do not need to buy a whole SAND, which has a low unit price. It is divisible into small units, so a small INR order buys several tokens. The exact per-order minimum is shown on the CoinDCX order screen before you confirm.
Yes. Because SAND has a low unit price, ₹100 buys a good number of tokens. Open the app, search for The Sandbox, tap Buy, enter the rupee amount, and confirm. The order fills at the live rate shown on screen.
SAND trades directly against the rupee on FIU-IND registered Indian exchanges, so no stablecoin conversion is needed. Judge any venue on three points: FIU-IND registration under the PMLA, a direct INR pair, and published custody practices such as cold storage and Proof of Reserves.
Buying and holding SAND is not taxed. Selling or swapping your tokens triggers a flat 30% tax plus 4% cess on profits, resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.2% under the Income-tax Act, 2025. Additionally, a 1% TDS is deducted from the total trade value upon transfer under Section 393(1) of the Act. Crypto losses cannot be set off against other income. Report gains in Schedule VDA and confirm your position with a chartered accountant.
Aave is a blue-chip DeFi protocol with real usage, token utility, a scarce fixed supply, and its own stablecoin. Against that, it faces smart-contract and DeFi risks, it is volatile and trades below its all-time high, and it competes with other lending platforms. Weigh both sides against your own goals and risk tolerance, and treat any decision as your own.
The Sandbox is an online virtual world where people can create games and experiences and share or sell them, a little like a blockchain-based creative game platform. LAND is a piece of virtual real estate in that world, owned as an NFT, on which the owner can build games or host experiences. During the metaverse boom, LAND parcels sold for large sums, but many were never developed, and today their value depends far more on what is actually built and used on them than on speculation.
The Sandbox soared in 2021 when excitement about the metaverse peaked, helped by a major technology company shifting its focus there, and virtual land and its token reached very high prices. When that excitement faded and everyday usage did not live up to the hype, the speculative premium collapsed, leaving SAND far below its high. On supply, SAND has a maximum of about 3 billion tokens, a portion of which is still being released gradually, which can add selling pressure over time.
CoinDCX is considered one of the leading platforms in India, with FIU-IND registration under the PMLA, ISO/IEC certification, direct INR funding via UPI, IMPS, NEFT and RTGS, and published Proof of Reserves. The Sandbox Coin is currently available in USDT but not in INR on CoinDCX. Stay tuned for updates on when you can buy SAND in INR on our platform.
Enable app-based two-factor authentication rather than SMS, and use a password you have not reused elsewhere. Never share an OTP, seed phrase, or remote access to your screen. No genuine support agent will ask for them. If you withdraw to a personal wallet, check the address carefully and send a small test amount first, because on-chain transfers cannot be reversed.
