**💹 Market Data**
==================

[_Stake your TheSandbox LAND & earn 2.24%\* APY. Stake your $SAND & earn 6.58%\* APY_](https://oneland.world/#/defi) _(\*9.11.2023)_

[OneLand 7-day data](https://oneland.world/#/main) reveals 10-project aggregate land market cap fell 1.59% to 700,592 ETH (or -3.27% to $1.133 billion), marking a slight turnaround from the previous 4 weeks of rising lands cap. [Total NFT cap](https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/) experienced a similar fall for the week of 1.37%.

For its part, ETH continued on its now month-long downward slide, ending the week down 1.04% at $1,616.77.

![Meta Rankings - Market Cap (7D)](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/6b50ce95f070136d632724630daccacb700dda19913a70619c852972f442efdc.png)

Meta Rankings - Market Cap (7D)

[Decentraland](https://oneland.world/#/main/decentraland) was the major culprit as its LANDs cap dropped 8.35%, as sales count (18) was at its highest for 2 months but prices were down, by 69.6%, incl. a weekly top sale of just 1.74 ETH.

Over at [Otherside](https://oneland.world/#/main/otherside?selectkey=basicInfo), and the market cap of [Otherdeeds](https://oneland.world/#/main/otherside?selectkey=tradeAnalytics) (-0.49%) shed only 1,677 ETH, compared to [Decentraland](https://oneland.world/#/main/decentraland)’s 14,859 ETH.

![Sales were up last week at Decentraland, but sales prices were low across the board.](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/f4a2ab2fd7d9257efa677449811c62fd00986af8677c2f58258b88a06c30d585.png)

Sales were up last week at Decentraland, but sales prices were low across the board.

[Arcade](https://oneland.world/#/main/arcadeland?selectkey=tradeAnalytics) enjoyed its highest sales count (+200%) in 3 months and highest 7D volume (+96.81%) in 2.

Meanwhile, at [Worldwide Webb](https://oneland.world/#/main/worldwideweb3), sales numbers (-18.75%), trading volume (-75.92%) and average prices (-70.36%) all retreated to recent norms following last week’s launch of its new Rugbusterz Rumble events which had seen rises across all data metrics.

![It was a return to normal in the trading of Apartments last week at WorldwideWebb.](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/0baf46332321a85743346dfaeae21f8c8c396aa6044780adb3a34a90c73f8ee7.png)

It was a return to normal in the trading of Apartments last week at WorldwideWebb.

[HYTOPIA](https://oneland.world/#/main/topia?selectkey=tradeAnalytics) continues to impress. Though sales (-15.4%) and volumes (-28.6%) dipped on a weekly basis, average land parcel prices stand firmly above the 2 ETH mark while the project’s lands cap continues its rise (+7.1%).
