Metaverse Market Analysis: Exploring the State of the Metaverse Market
Welcome to Metaverse Market Analysis, where we provide you with the latest stats and data on the overall state of the Metaverse market. This column is brought to you in partnership with OneLand, a financial platform specializing in virtual lands in the Metaverse. In this edition, we will be looking at the OneLand Metaverse Market Analysis stats for the week of August 28 – September 3.
The 7-day data revealed that the VRE market cap for the 10 projects on OneLand increased by 1.45% to reach 711,947 ETH. Additionally, the total NFT cap saw a more modest increase of 0.69%, climbing to 2.91m ETH. These figures indicate a positive trend in the Metaverse market, particularly in terms of land cap, which has seen consecutive weeks of growth after a three-month decline.
Despite the overall crypto market cap falling for the third consecutive week, with ETH experiencing a 1.31% decrease and settling at $1,635.72, Decentraland’s land cap continued to rise, showing a 3.8% increase. HYTOPIA also experienced a notable growth in its land cap, with a remarkable 9.35% rise.
OneLand’s data also highlighted some noteworthy sales and developments in various virtual worlds. At BYOPills, there were several notable BYOLands sales that exceeded the average price, leading to an 86.35% increase in 7-day volumes and a 1.38% increase in the overall land market cap, reaching its highest point since late July.
Another virtual world that experienced a surge in volume was Somnium Space, with a remarkable 162% increase. However, it is important to note that this increase was due to back-and-forth purchase gestures on the same parcel, which distorted the price and other related data.
Meanwhile, at Worldwide Webb, the sale of Penthouse 9024 for 4.79 ETH occurred, marking the highest sale in two months. The gaming metaverse also went live with its first Rugbusterz Rumble, which further contributed to the overall activity and growth in the land market.
HYTOPIA, on the other hand, witnessed an upward trend in land plot prices, with a 26% increase for the month. The floor price also rose significantly by 69.35%. These increases can be attributed to the continuous updates on the game’s proprietary blockchain, which have attracted more activity and investment.
In terms of virtual world tokens, some fluctuations were observed. While $TOPIA experienced a 17.5% retreat following a price spike the previous week, it still remained 28.5% above its value two weeks ago. Other virtual world tokens, such as $SAND and $MANA, fell for the sixth consecutive week, while $APE dropped by 32.2% in just three weeks.
Finally, the sale of an Otherdeed for 24.37 ETH on Otherside marked the highest-priced transaction since May.
