💹 Market Data

OneLand 7D data shows aggregate land market cap for our 10 listed projects down by 1.53% last week to 651,037 ETH (+0.94% to $1.343b).

Meanwhile, $ETH was back in positive territory, +2.51% to $2.062.39.

Prices (+16.4%) of land plots in up-and-coming MMORPG Treeverse are on the rise.

This week, the nominee for ‘Most Anticipated Game’ in next month’s GAM3 Awards (see Events, below) picked up its top sale in 6 monthds, as its land cap (+1.61%) continues to climb, up 6% in the past month.

Once again, trades congregated over the weekend, as Sunday recorded the Web3 game’s top daily volume in over 10 months, and 7D volume surged 174% to 43.54 ETH.

Sales (+125.5%) and volume (+99.2%) were also up at The Sandbox last week, after launching its LAND sale for new district Cinerama.

HYTOPIA’s land cap (-3.26%) fell for its second straight week. But it also recorded another bumper sale, of 12 ETH, with average land prices (+15.91%) now seemingly settling in the 2–3 ETH range, and floor prices continuing to rise.

Meanwhile, the team needed only to dispel rumors during the week that $TOPIA was not to feature as intended in the initial game design to see it surge 89% to $0.0465.

Other metaverse tokens also rose — $MANA +1.75%, $SAND +4.45%, while $APE cruised north 18.25%.

💹 Market Data

OneLand 7D data shows aggregate land market cap for our 10 listed projects last week down 1.27% to 661,169 ETH (-1.01% to $1.33b).

Last week was a more stable week in the overall crypto & NFT markets. Volumes were down, however not in certain metaverse lands.

Sales figures & trading volume soared 287% & 217% respectively with a midweek sell-off at HYTOPIA, likely not unrelated to the project dispelling rumors of a move away from Web3 (see Project Updates, below). The result: HYTOPIA experienced its first 7D drop in its land cap (-6.01%) in 3mths (in which time its land cap has risen 49.6%).

Decentraland (-6.8%) shed over 9k ETH in LANDs cap, as it retains its focus on features and live events, like the current DCL Music Festival, a contrast to The Sandbox strategy of virtual land “sales” and games.

Smaller metaverse projects, in terms of virtual real estate caps, also saw heightened trading last week.

More hype about Somnium Space’s VR headset led to a barrage of end-of-week trades, 7D sales & volume booming 283% and 356% respectively.

While at Treeverse, 6.21 ETH of trading volume on Sunday rounded out a week that saw the game’s top land sale in 6mths, with the average price now up 118% in the past month. Indeed, a closer look at Treeverse data reveals a pattern emerging, with groups of traders seemingly getting busy once outside of the Mon-Fri 9–5 grind.

The average price of an Otherdeed was up 31.71% this week on the back of 4 trades that ranged in price from 13.3 to 15 ETH. It helped maintain a bigger 7D trading volume, while helping Otherside’s land market cap stay north of 340k ETH.

💹 Market Data

OneLand 7D data shows 10-project lands cap ending the week up 0.21% to 666,221 ETH, or +5.65% to $1.261b.

It was a positive week for both crypto and NFTs alike, with $ETH up 5.48% to $1,894.03, and total NFT cap rising 6.64%.

Metaverse tokens rose in kind — $MANA +5.26%, $SAND +5.36%, $APE +4.07%, $TOPIA +2.78%, $CUBE +19.6%.

Voxels kicked off last week with a relative flurry of land sales that saw it record its biggest 7D volume (+810%) and a top sale in over 3mths.

Meanwhile, Worldwide Webb enjoyed another bumper week of trading (pulling in 10.94 ETH in trading volume) as it closed out its week-long play-test with an exclusive NFT mint for its players and contests to win an Apartment. The dots high on the horizon in the below chart represent Penthouse sales, which tend to occur during the busiest trading times.

It was a similar result for Treeverse, also pulling in two straight weeks of bumper trading, the 2wks of volume (26.94 ETH) nearly equivalent to the previous 2mths combined. But it was a second week of stumbling trade volumes for both BYOPills and Arcade.

Looking at some of the big, or rising, guns…and HYTOPIA’s land cap (+1.82%) continues its rise, even while its sharply spiked prices let up a bit this week, down 5.9% from 2.72 to 2.56 ETH.

Over at Otherside and Otherdeeds saw 3 straight weeks of rising land caps, as weekly volume reached 230 ETH, its highest for a month.

💹 Market Data

Stake your TheSandbox LAND & earn 2.69%* APY. Stake your $SAND & earn 7.51%* APY (*10.23.2023)

OneLand 7D data shows 10-project aggregate land cap stable in ETH, +0.05% for the week to 664,849 ETH.

In USD, however, land caps surged 7.95% to $1.194bn. ETH’s price — up 7.89% to $1,795.59 — set the agenda for metaverse lands, with another BTC-inspired 7D crypto rally seeing total crypto capitalisation shoot up 11.4%.

HYTOPIA kicked off last week by celebrating a cool injection of $3 million led by Delphi Ventures (see Partnerships & Funding — below), and ended it with land cap up 2.76% to 20,588 ETH, another 100+ ETH of weekly volume, not to mention yet another bumper top sale of 11.44 ETH.

Meanwhile, Otherside saw a second consecutive 7D rise in land cap after pulling in approx. 200 ETH in sales for a second week running, fueled by a 23 ETH Otherdeed trade, its most expensive in 2 months.

It was an exciting week at Worldwide Webb, with the playing community revved up by its week-long Playa play-test. Sales of Apartments (+33.3% to 52) boomed to its highest 7D count in near 4 months, incl. a healthy top sale of 4.49 ETH that saw volumes up 183.67% to 12.32 ETH.

True that land cap (+0.13%) and prices hardly budged, but you cannot put a price on either hyped vibes or masses of community feedback. Holder numbers (down 8.6% in the past year) even bucked the trend, up slightly to 4,045.

Meanwhile, land trading was very quiet at Arcade (volume -88.8%), BYOPills (-78.7%) and Decentraland (-69.1%).

Even in a busy world like Decentraland, higher prices (than other projects, bar Otherside & HYTOPIA) will always mean few sales in a bear market; this week saw just 7, the project’s LANDs cap falling by more than 5k ETH to 135,483 ETH. But it may also be that few are willing to sell out of the OG metaverse — LANDholder numbers keep rising.

The rally in the cryptocurrency market, meanwhile, saw metaverse tokens $MANA (+26.7%), $APE (+22.7%) and $SAND (+16.1%) up for the week.

OneLand 7D data shows aggregate land market cap for the 10 listed projects on OneLand rising by 3.27% to 678,221 ETH (+9.53% to $1.128bn).

The upsurge particularly in USD terms occurred on the back of a crypto rally of 6.86% - to $4.52bn - which saw $ETH rise a similar 6.8% to $1,664.32.

Most metaverse tokens accordingly saw a positive week (with the exception of Somnium Space’s $CUBE), with $APECoin +6.75%, $SAND +6.9% & $TOPIA +26.38%.

–

Otherside land market cap rose by more than 12,000 ETH this week (+2.29%), and not too surprisingly, on the back of CEO Daniel Allegre stating that the metaverse gaming project was now (finally?!) a priority (see Project Updates, below).

Overall, it was a positive week economically speaking with a pickup in both sales (+31%) & trading volume (+68.1%) of Otherdeeds, which included a 2-month high sale of 15 ETH.

Worldwide Webb’s announcement Wednesday of their exciting new play-test (which begins this Tuesday, almost exclusively to holders of Apartments - see Events, below) set off a relative barrage of trading, which led to its top daily sales count in more than 3 months.

There were no big priced or Penthouse sales, but both floor and average prices peaked, while volume soared 310.6%, as sales numbers (+225%) more than tripled from the previous week.

With BYOPills fans now busy playing the new BYORacer, spiked trading activity of the last 5-6 weeks in BYOLands finally subsided, as its 7D sales count & volume retreated 52.8% & 62.5% respectively.

Meanwhile at HYTOPIA, records are being set each week as land market cap surpassed 20k in ETH for the first time, including a top sale of all time for the project at 12.88 ETH.

💹 Market Data

Stake your TheSandbox LAND & earn 3.09%* APY. Stake your $SAND & earn 7.47%* APY (*10.16.2023)

OneLand 7D data shows aggregate land cap for the 10 projects listed up 0.37% to 656,739 ETH (-3.6% to $1.03bn).

Looking closer — Decentraland saw a positive turnaround (+4.24%) while Otherside sunk to its lowest land cap to date.

$ETH fell significantly for a second week, dropping another 4.6% to $1,558.31, helping to drag down NFT values (total NFT cap -0.75% to 2.65m ETH, -4.94% to $4.23b USD). Most metaverse tokens incl. $SAND (-3.33%), $MANA (-3.33%), $APE (-1.73%) & $TOPIA (-13.77%) all fell.

HYTOPIA pulled in its highest land parcel sale of all time with #881 exchanging wallets for 11 ETH. The average price last week remained a very strong 2.7 ETH, while the floor price hit an incredible 1.9 ETH!

Not sure if it is due to Otherside degens too busy playing LOTM, or laid off Voyagers halting trading, but last week’s sales of Otherdeeds plummeted to just 60 trades and only 62.1 ETH in trading volume (-74.62%).

Meanwhile, Otherside land cap (-0.68%) keeps sinking, this week to 321,864 ETH.

Somnium Space’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’s highest daily trading volume in 6 weeks.

💹 Market Data

Stake your TheSandbox LAND & earn 2.79%* APY. Stake your $SAND & earn 7.48%* APY (*10.2.2023)

OneLand 7D data 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% that saw $ETH soar 9.63% to $1,733.

Looking closer, and Otherside hit its lowest land cap of Otherdeeds to date (-0.95% to 323,161 ETH).

Ironically, it happened in the same week Otherside 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).

In contrast, over at HYTOPIA, 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.

At The Sandbox, 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).

7D trading volume was also up at Decentraland (+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, 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, and BYOLand prices were up last week by 92.8% to 0.112 ETH, as excitement heats up for this week’s BYORacer launch.

💹 Market Data

Stake your TheSandbox LAND & earn 2.3%* APY. Stake your $SAND & earn 6.73%* APY (*9.25.2023)

OneLand 7D data shows agg. land market cap of the 10 projects down 4.02% to 660,635 ETH (or -6.52% to $1.04bn). Total NFT cap fell 6.92% to 2.69m ETH, while $ETH ended the week down 2.61% at $1,580.75.

Looking at Decentraland, and another 7D LANDs slide (-15.47%) saw its LANDs cap crash to 140k ETH, with trading activity slow of late and only 7 sales over the past week for a meager volume of 3.5 ETH (-60.1%).

Otherdeed 7D land sales (+71.4% to 156) & volume (+51.9% to 131.31 ETH) re-emerged above 100 & 100 ETH respectively for Otherside (which they both sank beneath in the week previous).

It occurred just as Yuga Labs cemented partnerships in a move to “propel development” (see Partnerships, below), and AIP-304 approved ApeCoin DAO invest in 11m $APE worth of Yuga assets (See Project Updates, below). $APE continues to fall, last week by another 0.78% to 1.10530 ETH, about half what it was 3mths ago.

For the past 30D, Otherside’s sales count is down by 20% and its trading volume by 47.7%, while cap of Otherdeeds has fallen 4.29% to 326,358 ETH.

Meanwhile, Voxels witnessed its most active week of trading since the same time last month (7D volume +530%), with 4 sales on Monday resulting in its highest daily volume in over a month. 30D volume is still down 39.6%.

With a date now locked in for the BYORacer launch in early October (see Project Updates), there is a certain level of excitement in the air. BYOLands sales spike over the weekend extended into Mon & Tue, clocking 400+ for the fortnight.

Somnium Space also enjoyed a weekly uptick in trade with 13 parcels (+333%) moving wallets, & 7D volume up 230.5%.

Meanwhile, purchases of Apartments eased at Worldwide Webb as the excitement of 3 weeks of Rugbusterz Rumbles subsided, 7D sales & volume sliding backwards 82.6% & 94.4% respectively, and its total land cap hanging within the 10-11k ETH zone.

💹 Market Data

Stake your TheSandbox LAND & earn 2.14%* APY. Stake your $SAND & earn 6.66%* APY (*9.18.2023)

OneLand 7-day data shows 10-project land cap down 1.75% to 688,309 ETH (or -1.37% to $1.117 billion). $ETH rose minimally, up 0.39% to $1,623.08.

Meanwhile, 7D volume was up 30.44% (in USD, +29.02%) with Otherside sinking further to crash for the 1st time below 100 ETH! The Sandbox (76.88) and HYTOPIA (74.12 ETH) were hardly far behind.

Kicking off this week’s findings at BYOPills - & the past week’s data witnessed a frenzy of land sales. It’s not all clear, but the project’s Discord chatroom started buzzing Tuesday with talk of the anticipated BYORacer launch, then Thursday a tweet from founder DrEtherJay was a video showcasing the Racer in-device in what was BYOPills’ first tweet since Aug 24.

The result for BYOLands - sales boomed Tuesday, then went ballistic Sunday. 7D sales tallied 146 (+1,026%) & volume soared 1,384%  to 8.79 ETH, its highest daily volume since almost the same time last year.

On the back-end of WorldwideWebb rolling out Rugbuster Rumblez in 3 parts in as many weeks for its gaming community, 7D land sales rose near 77% to hit 46, with volume seeing a return to the heights of a fortnight back (+386% to 14.11 ETH).

Penthouse #9024 moved wallets twice Thursday, first for 4.09 ETH then 4.68 ETH, in the space of a few hours, while the same thing happened to the same Apartment a fortnight ago (for 4.79 & 3.86 ETH).

At HYTOPIA, the project teased, then kicked off on Saturday its pre-registrations, in what appears a cleverly timed culmination of recent announcements on the game incl. its new blockchain.

What ensued was 160k+ sign-ups in just 36hrs, accompanied by higher 7D land metrics all round incl. sales (+40.9%), trade volume (+53.65%) & a top sale in 3mths (at 9.0 ETH). Meanwhile, land market cap pumped another 7.28%.

Native token $TOPIA also re-pumped, up 19.17% for the week, as the team issued warning of a, followed shortly after by an actual, burn of previous token $WRLD. (See Project Updates below for more info).

At Decentraland, native token $MANA had its first 7D price rise (albeit +3.57% only) in 10wks, while LANDs had a 2nd week running of cheap sales (avg. price 0.75 ETH) & low trade volume (-35.15%).

But at Arcade, it was a 2nd straight week of bumper sales (albeit combined with the lowest 7D prices in a long while) - down 16.67% from last week’s 36, with both days recording the highest daily sales counts since early July.

💹 Market Data

Stake your TheSandbox LAND & earn 2.24%* APY. Stake your $SAND & earn 6.58%* APY (*9.11.2023)

OneLand 7-day data 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 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.

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, and the market cap of Otherdeeds (-0.49%) shed only 1,677 ETH, compared to Decentraland’s 14,859 ETH.

Arcade enjoyed its highest sales count (+200%) in 3 months and highest 7D volume (+96.81%) in 2.

Meanwhile, at Worldwide Webb, 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.

HYTOPIA 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%).

💹 Market Data

Stake your TheSandbox LAND & earn 3.18%* APY. Stake your $SAND & earn 9.66%* APY (*9.4.2023)

7-day data shows VRE market cap for the 10 projects on OneLand up 1.45% to 711,947 ETH.

Total NFT cap rose more moderately - by 0.69% - to 2.91m ETH.

The second consecutive week of rising aggregate land cap (in contrast to 3mths of a falling one), comes despite $ETH (and overall crypto market cap) falling a third straight week, down 1.31% to $1,635.72.

Decentraland’s land cap (+3.8%) continues to rise, as does that of HYTOPIA (+9.35%).

At BYOPills, there were a few notable BYOLands sales at prices above the norm, pushing 7D volumes up 86.35% as well as its overall land market cap to its highest since late July.

Volume appeared to boom mid-week at Somnium Space, but only due to several back-and-forth purchase gestures of the same parcel, distorting price data (+149.65%).

While over at Worldwide Webb. Penthouse 9024 went two ways, first for 4.79 ETH (its top sale in 2 months), then 3.86 ETH, after the gaming metaverse went live with its first Rugbusterz Rumble (see Events, below).

At HYTOPIA, the average price of a land plot keeps increasing, up 26% for the month, while the floor price is up a full 69.35% and rising, all fueled by a steady stream of updates on the game’s proprietary blockchain.

Meanwhile , a portion of $TOPIA “holders” cashed in following last week’s price spike, the token retreating 17.5% for the week, but still 28.5% above where it stood a fortnight back. Looking at other virtual world tokens, both $SAND and $MANA fell for a 6th week running while $APE has dropped 32.2% in 3 weeks.

Finally, an Otherdeed selling for 24.37 ETH was Otherside’s top-priced transaction since May.

💹 Market Data

Stake your TheSandbox LAND & earn 2.94%* APY. Stake your $SAND & earn 9.65%* APY (*8.28.2023)

7-day data shows VRE market cap for the 10 projects on OneLand up 3.78% to 701,716 ETH (or +2.07% to $1.163 billion), surpassing the 700k ETH mark for the first time since June. That was in contrast to total NFT cap, which fell by 3%.

Meanwhile, $ETH fell slightly, by 1.64% to $1,657.44.

Not sure why Tuesday, but that was the day Decentraland, Otherside, HYTOPIA & Voxels all picked up top weekly sales.

Decentraland’s was extra special, as an Estate swapped hands for 21.71 ETH, its highest price sale since January.

24k ETH of the rise in land caps came from Decentraland, its LANDs cap powering 16.38% north to 171,409 ETH, leaving The Sandbox in its wake, 38% lower. Trade volume skyrocketed 360% from the week prior, even though sales were actually down, the average LAND price witnessing an even bigger rise, +437%.

The OG metaverse project’s big week on the LAND metrics front follows a huge amount of recent moves on the dev & community fronts.

This month alone, Decentraland went live with smart wearables, updated their funding system and launched an in-world camera, while running a 4-week Emotes Festival (see Events & Contests, below). July was also a big month, as they brought in custom animations, AI NPCs, exportable avatars & more.

HYTOPIA’s token $TOPIA (+55.8%) rode a wild journey northwards, disparate to any previous price movement since its launch 2.5 months back, though hardly shocking occurring as it did on the back of their chain’s testnet faucet going live (see Project Updates, below).

As for land parcels in the Minecraft metaverse, they recorded their highest volume (+129%) and sales count (+80.6%) in several months, all pushing land cap into positive territory by a solid 12.7% at 14,584 ETH.

7-day data shows VRE market cap for the 10 projects on OneLand up 1.84% to 676,129 ETH, supported by rises in land caps for Otherside (+ 0.88%), The Sandbox (+6.2%) and Decentraland (+1.96%).

But with ETH seeing out the week down 8.93%, the entire crypto market feeling the reverberations of a BTC freefall that kicked off Thursday, VRE caps in USD terms finished out the week worse for wear, -6.67% to $1.14 billion. Overall crypto market cap ended the week down 9.67%.

In line with that, major metaverse tokens $SAND (-15.4%), $MANA (-13.9%) and $APE (-20%) plummeted.

The notable exception was $TOPIA, down just 1%, as HYTOPIA presented its updated, and apparently justifiably hyped, blockchain - see Project Updates, below. More notably, $TOPIA’s listing on CoinGecko Wednesday saw it soar to close in on ATHs.

Overall, data showed land trading firing up around the Metaverse, all but 2 of the 10 projects experiencing upturns in sales and volumes, and OneLand-listed projects recording its highest aggregate volume in 6 weeks.

Voxels looked the standout, with volume and sales numbers up 412% and 264% respectively. Meanwhile, a Premium LAND passed hands for 29.99 ETH at The Sandbox, a top sale in over 3mths.

But things get clearer when peaking into Otherside, where 7-day volume reached its highest in 6 weeks (+61.1%), due to a slew of 18-20 ETH trades in the space of 24hrs - of the same Deed! Meanwhile, land cap of Otherdeeds achieved its first weekly movement to the upside in 3mths.

7-day data shows VRE market cap for the 10 projects on OneLand up marginally (+0.17%) to 663,914 ETH (or +0.79% to $1.221 billion).

It represents the first aggregate land cap rise in 3 months, albeit the price of ETH rose more (+0.66%) to end the week at $1,839.32.

This week saw recovering trade volume for the Otherside (+50.6%), kicking off with a highest sale in 2 months of 19.5 ETH, and culminating in a 19.55 ETH purchase on Sunday that saw OneLand’s Metaverse Heat Index reach the fiery heights of 91.4.

Nevertheless, given the market conditions (MoM falling land prices) the weekly pickup in trading did little to stem the tide of a deteriorating land cap, down for a 9th straight week, while the number of sales (-49.6%) was also down.

This, plus a 7-day comeback in trading action (+51.5%) at The Sandbox (as a Premium LAND sold for 12.55 ETH, a top sale in 5 months) saw aggregate trading volume for the 10 projects rise by 38% for the week. Besides, 7-day trade volume of all NFTs also picked up some slack, +26.3%.

Over at BYOPills, and two BYOLand sales of 0.45 and 0.5 ETH kicked off a week that showed glimpses of recovery, following a rather lackluster month, with all major metrics in the green, incl. BYOLands cap which rose for its first time in 2 months.

Meanwhile, Somnium Space experienced a comedown last week after a bustling previous 7 days of hype surrounding its v3 release, recording just 4 parcel sales and an overall trading volume of just 2.34 ETH.

7-day data shows VRE market cap for the 10 projects on OneLand falling for an 11th straight week, this time by 0.8% to 662,614 ETH (or -2.58% to $1.211 billion). Notably, none of the 10 projects’ land caps were in the green.

Overall global NFT market cap (down 21.6% since this time in June) held relatively steady,  down 0.32% at 3.09 million ETH. Meanwhile, $ETH’s price fell 1.85% to $1,827.24.

Trading volumes were a mixed bag, with Decentraland (+40.5%) enjoying more activity than in recent weeks, while there were also minimal increases for The Sandbox, Worldwide Webb and Treeverse.

Last week, Somnium Space’s massive V3 update (see Project Updates, below) caused a flurry of Land Parcel sales (+650% for the week), notably 10 on Thursday (albeit from the same buyer) - its highest daily sales count since April 2022!

7-day volume thus soared (+391.5% to 10.59 ETH), while its native token $CUBE also enjoyed a rise (+7.56%) regardless that most other crypto and metaverse tokens (incl. $ETH, $MANA, $SAND & $APEcoin) fell.

The average price of an Otherdeed continues to slide, this week falling below the 1 ETH mark (-13.17%) approx. half of its value just 2 months back.

Sales numbers and trading volumes at Otherside mirror the current NFT market, its top sale this week just 8.99 ETH. Meanwhile, average weekly top sales have plunged from 103 ETH in May, to 19.13 ETH in June, then 10.1 ETH in July.

💹 Market Data

Stake your TheSandbox LAND & earn 3.66%* APY. Stake your $SAND & earn 9.27%* APY (*7.31.2023)

OneLand data shows VRE market cap for the 10 projects down for a 10th straight week, this time by 2.15% to 667,988 ETH (or -3.54% to $1.244 billion). Meanwhile, ETH fell by 1.43% to $1,861.76.

The popularity of the metaverse for investors has been trending downwards over recent months, not just due to a macro downturn or bear market, but because of it being totally overshadowed by “the next big thing” AI.

Yet another big downturn in 7D trading volume for Otherside (-34% to just 162 ETH), and with little support from The Sandbox (whose post-sale volume sank to just 51.5 ETH, its lowest in several months), saw aggregate volume for the 10 projects on OneLand crash to near half of what it was just 4 weeks ago at the end of Q2.

Meanwhile, Somnium Space land plots might be getting on a few more investor radars of late, with some more consistency in sales over recent months and upward trending prices (Somnium Space parcels are traditionally more expensive than other VRE), not to mention the big, fresh announcement of Version 3.0 (see Project Updates, below).

Its economy albeit small, VR-themed metaverse Somnium Space notably is the one listed project with land cap heading north, while the only other project with land cap in the green this week was another legendary player Voxels. As mentioned last week, trading has picked up at Voxels; and a second consecutive week of bumping sales (+29%) and volume (+50%) saw the metaverse’s best daily volume in 3.5 mths, and top sale in 4mths.

Over at Arcade, and a top land sale in 2 months at the gaming metaverse helped drive up 7D volume (+17.6%) and its average price (+106%), the buyer bundling 4 different lands into the one transaction.

Meanwhile, Decentraland’s price enjoyed a very minimal correction (+24%), while BYOLands look to be heading back towards the 1 ETH mark following the boost given to the community by the release of its Racer.

OneLand 7-day data shows VRE market cap for the 10 projects down for a 9th straight week, this time by 1.33% to 682,632 ETH. ETH’s price dipped 1.81% to $1,888.81.

Meanwhile, aggregate trading volume fell by 32.5%. Decentraland, TOPIA, Arcade and Treeverse were all down, reflecting global NFT sales that overall slid another 8.53% to just half the value it was 2 months ago.

While all of the hype and trading of “NFTs” continues its downward slide, true longstanding projects with vision occasionally rear their crazy heads. As its founder clearly knows, Voxels endures. Last week’s sales and volume of land parcels in the Voxels metaverse roared northwards, up 416% and 375% respectively, and included a top sale in 3 months.

Meanwhile, Worldwide Webb might just be taking a well-deserved break from social media, scarce this month save for one great Independence Day thread outlining the roadmap ahead, and the work they are getting down and busy with in the (positive) aftermath of a recent $10m cash injection from Pantera Capital.

Most metrics continue to fall from its last brief uptrend in early June, 7-day sales volume of Apartments falling steeply (-52.3%) for a 2nd straight week. OneLand still notes Worldwide Webb as a Web3 metaverse to watch for all the right reasons, as our previous article makes clear.

Over at BYOPills, and volume of BYOLands enjoyed a minimal turnaround (+37.7%) from the previous 7 days, following the first release of their BYORacer game, though it was obviously a different story for the BYOCrafts themselves, sales and volume of the NFTs rising 182% and 319% respectively.
