Stake your $SAND & earn 7.47%\* APY_](https://oneland.world/#/defi) (\*10.16.2023) [OneLand 7D data](https://oneland.world/#/main) shows aggregate land cap for the 10 projects listed up 0.37% to 656,739 ETH (-3.6% to $1.03bn). Looking closer — [Decentraland](https://oneland.world/#/main/decentraland?selectkey=tradeAnalytics) saw a positive turnaround (+4.24%) while [Otherside](https://oneland.world/#/main/otherside?selectkey=tradeAnalytics) sunk to its lowest land cap to date. ![Meta Rankings — Market Cap (7D)](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/6e460d9c2e3c0942e1c67a132d890ec6251db4b1c91cafba3044150d566e195a.png) Meta Rankings — Market Cap (7D) $ETH fell significantly for a second week, dropping another 4.6% to $1,558.31, helping to drag down NFT values ([total NFT cap](https://nftgo.io/analytics/market-overview) -0.75% to 2.65m ETH, [\-4.94%](https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/) to $4.23b USD). Most metaverse tokens incl. $SAND (-3.33%), $MANA (-3.33%), $APE (-1.73%) & $TOPIA (-13.77%) all fell. [HYTOPIA](https://oneland.world/#/main/topia?selectkey=tradeAnalytics) pulled in its highest land parcel sale of all time with #881 exchanging wallets for [11 ETH](https://etherscan.io/tx/0x4c6d84d2acecde21d56fb0f1b94d4956f441ed4f1fe8360a176cb14321f4f63f). The average price last week remained a very strong 2.7 ETH, while the floor price hit an incredible 1.9 ETH! ![The 3-month view of land sales paints a clear picture — HYTOPIA (3M)](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/5c1549511a96ba5878b65d4b872047ea488c1dd97b78ccb39c98696794fb15d5.png) The 3-month view of land sales paints a clear picture — HYTOPIA (3M) Not sure if it is due to [Otherside](https://oneland.world/#/main/otherside?selectkey=tradeAnalytics) degens too busy playing LOTM, or laid off Voyagers halting trading, but last week’s sales of [Otherdeeds](https://oneland.world/#/main/otherside?selectkey=tradeAnalytics) plummeted to just 60 trades and only 62.1 ETH in trading volume (-74.62%). Meanwhile, [Otherside](https://oneland.world/#/main/otherside?selectkey=tradeAnalytics) land cap (-0.68%) keeps sinking, this week to 321,864 ETH. ![20+ ETH sales, hundreds of weekly sales of Otherdeeds have faded from view](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/12e25922d9639e95feb2602eba8cd237d9ee758e0c13351ee5370014bbf48afb.png) 20+ ETH sales, hundreds of weekly sales of Otherdeeds have faded from view [Somnium Space](https://oneland.world/#/main/somniumspace)’s big VR1 update seemed to do the trick, the VR metaverse project enjoying a second straight week of busy land trading, and with no especially high-priced purchases to account for — both weeks raking in 10+ ETH. The vast majority of sales occurred over a busy weekend, with Sunday recording [Somnium Space](https://oneland.world/#/main/somniumspace)’s highest daily trading volume in 6 weeks. ![Trade Plots — Somnium Space (7D)](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/a7ecd7515da41e98226949544bd5ea122eb7136f756b62c1606cfc1886d2684c.png) Trade Plots — Somnium Space (7D) _For more info & instructions how to_ [_Stake Your Sandbox LAND &/or $SAND with OneLand_](https://medium.com/@oneland/stake-your-sandbox-land-with-oneland-406a91821bcd) (it’s simple!) ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/810a3b50fbdfa658159cc658fcb73658eb6fe760aba89d0da848468bc7d93aad.jpg) 🗞️ **Market News** ------------------- [Yuga Labs announces staff layoff](https://substack.com/redirect/d2db234f-5ca9-4983-8191-4d739509d728?j=eyJ1IjoiMW40ZGhyIn0.UX0c442-0bO6rnbGvxP3k53QE658zvIIEborFwuqUmc) [Unity CEO to retire, leadership transition](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20231009494331/en/Unity-Announces-Leadership-Transition?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email) [Huobi, KuCoin, over 140 crypto exchanges ‘non-authorized’ - UK regulator, FCA](https://cointelegraph.com/news/huobi-ku-coin-140-crypto-exchanges-non-authorized-uk-regulator?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=collect%20campaign) \[[FCA Warning List of unauthorised firms](https://www.fca.org.uk/consumers/warning-list-unauthorised-firms?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email)\] [Metaverse 3D Crime Scene Replication Debuts at cOcOn in Kochi](https://metanews.com/metaverse-3d-crime-scene-replication-debuts-at-cocon-in-kochi/) [Why NFT gaming matters: Rocket League to remove player-to-player item trading](https://nft.news/rocket-league-to-remove-player-to-player-item-trading/?utm_source=www.norugnews.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=ftx-s-stolen-crypto-funds-linked-to-russian-cybercrime-networks) [’China Daily’ to build NFT marketplace & metaverse](https://metanews.com/chinese-newspaper-sights-metaverse-and-nfts-with-390k-investment/) [eSports Firm ‘K10’ to stream all matches live in the Metaverse](https://metanews.com/esports-firm-k10-enters-the-metaverse-with-valorant/) [Meta Quest 3 VR Headset hits stores around the world](https://metanews.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=91b8a2da83e0468d8bb4ad38c&id=25fbb7679b&e=0adce3e912) ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/810a3b50fbdfa658159cc658fcb73658eb6fe760aba89d0da848468bc7d93aad.jpg) **🌄 Sales & Mints** -------------------- **THE SANDBOX - 10.10:** The [Aavegotchi avatars](https://www.sandbox.game/en/me/avatar/avatars/my/?utm_source=aavegotchibridgedcollection&utm_campaign=aavegotchi&utm_medium=_5651876&gsid=1ee6bd064d5d6eecad9dc60171a799f9&gsc=1) went LIVE.
