### 💹 **Market Data**

[_Stake your TheSandbox LAND & earn 2.79%\* APY. Stake your $SAND & earn 7.48%\* APY_](https://oneland.world/#/defi) _(\*10.2.2023)_

[OneLand 7D data](https://oneland.world/#/main) shows aggregate land cap for the 10 projects listed falling 0.67% to 656,191.85 ETH. But in USD terms, land cap pumped 8.92% to $1.137 billion on the back of a [cryptocurrency rally of 5.71%](https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/) that saw $ETH soar 9.63% to $1,733.

Meta Rankings — Market Cap (7D)

Looking closer, and [Otherside](https://oneland.world/#/main/otherside?selectkey=tradeAnalytics) hit its lowest land cap of [Otherdeeds](https://oneland.world/#/main/otherside?selectkey=tradeAnalytics) to date (-0.95% to 323,161 ETH).

Ironically, it happened in the same week [Otherside](https://oneland.world/#/main/otherside?selectkey=tradeAnalytics) enjoyed its highest volume in a full 3mths (+102.5% to 265.95 ETH). This as average land prices sunk to a lowly 0.75 ETH (but APEcoin at least was up by 15.66% for its first 7D rise in 2mths).

![Otherdeed prices are down in October — Trade Plots (3M)](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/6693dba3cbc69d1ec1ba699d668b8e0d3b4bd7e68645d807d527912fd1895552.png)

In contrast, over at [HYTOPIA](https://oneland.world/#/main/topia?selectkey=tradeAnalytics), last week’s average price almost reached a whopping 3 ETH per parcel, as its land cap continues its rise.

It is an interesting comparison (check Land Price Trend chart below), one that warrants further comparative analysis of the two projects.

![Market Value & Land Price Trend — HYTOPIA & Otherside (180D)](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/5958a08aa333ec8fe82e31d315acc9065838f94767daf595240806e0fb79f6df.png)

Market Value & Land Price Trend — HYTOPIA & Otherside (180D)

At [The Sandbox](https://oneland.world/#/main/sandbox?selectkey=tradeAnalytics), it was once again a case of land sales inducing trades, but at the expense of/supported by lower prices (-43.5% to 0.252 ETH). Higher sales (+455%) & volume (+214.3%) did nothing to rescue a falling LANDs cap (-0.77% to 116,118 ETH).

![Meta Rankings — Trading Volume (7D)](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/a6abfd97898d2d096e61c91e764a8a8005f48c7918539e056bc3931893cabebc.png)

Meta Rankings — Trading Volume (7D)

7D trading volume was also up at [Decentraland](https://oneland.world/#/main/decentraland?selectkey=tradeAnalytics) (+617.4%) — 6 Estates exchanging wallets, incl. one for 7.47 ETH — in the week they announced their upcoming Metaverse Music Festival 2023.

At [Worldwide Webb](https://oneland.world/#/main/worldwideweb3?selectkey=tradeAnalytics), 7D sales recovered from a bad week and, with Penthouse 9054 moving wallets for 4.53 ETH, sent 7D volume soaring 1,014%.

While at [BYOPills](https://oneland.world/#/main/byopills?selectkey=tradeAnalytics), and [BYOLand](https://oneland.world/#/main/byopills?selectkey=tradeAnalytics) prices were up last week by 92.8% to 0.112 ETH, as excitement heats up for this week’s BYORacer launch.
