![Meta Rankings — Market Cap (7D)](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/7ac9097fecba9c5f46c82bc87cbb168af7372ee3e7ff4ca0660a3577b59426c1.png)

Meta Rankings — Market Cap (7D)

OneLand [7-day data](https://oneland.world/#/main) shows total lands market cap for the 10 projects down 6.92% to 711,829 ETH (or $1.225 billion, -5.3%). For its part, $ETH fell 1.86% to $1,720.50.

In line with the downward trend in NFTs over the last couple weeks, sales counts and trading volumes were down significantly last week across all projects with the exceptions of [TOPIA](https://oneland.world/#/main/topia?selectkey=tradeAnalytics), which outperformed, and [Arcade](https://oneland.world/#/main/arcadeland).

Meta Rankings — Trade Volume (7D)

The bigger projects stumbled, [Decentraland](https://oneland.world/#/main/decentraland?selectkey=tradeAnalytics)’s land cap falling by 5.2% while [Otherside](https://oneland.world/#/main/otherside) was down by 4.5%. While [The Sandbox](https://oneland.world/#/main/sandbox?selectkey=basicInfo)’s dipped by just 1.4%, it was still a challenging week for its economy, with an average price of just 0.371 ETH and meager top sale of only 1.2 ETH.

Over at [TOPIA](https://oneland.world/#/main/topia?selectkey=tradeAnalytics), the data tells the story of what have been some eventful weeks, in which they launched the migration from NFT Worlds, released a Master Plan to conquer Web2, deployed $TOPIA, plus launched governance and token swaps.

![The introduction of Worlds staking  (with incentives) saw land sales boom at TOPIA.](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/b39faa4866eb567d7cf0ca22988a3d65e51abb34c72835846e8b16646fbf798f.png)

The introduction of Worlds staking  (with incentives) saw land sales boom at TOPIA.

Last week’s introduction of Worlds staking saw trading volume at [TOPIA](https://oneland.world/#/main/topia?selectkey=tradeAnalytics) soar 290% to 175 ETH.
