Based on NFT and metaverse sales over the past week, the demand for digital land outpaced all other items, art and collections.
Digital land is in high demand in what is already a highly lucrative market as the past week’s nonfungible token (NFT) and Metaverse sales figures revealed.
Data from industry metrics platform NonFungible.com indicates that there has been more than $300 million in NFT sales over the past week. Of that total, almost a quarter has been for digital land in The Sandbox metaverse.
Over the past week, each one of the top 10 NFT metaverse sales across the top five collections were for in-game digital land.
The Sandbox traded a total volume of $70.5 million for 4,433 assets over the past week — making it the metaverse collection that raked in the most cash.
Although Decentraland ranked in second place for the total volume traded, the top 10 most expensive metaverse NFT sales during the past week, ranging from 225,000 MANA ($758,250) to 50,000 MANA ($220,000), were all on the Ethereum-based virtual world. Decentraland traded $6.6 million in volume for 399 assets over the past week.
Meanwhile, over the past seven days, CryptoVoxels traded around $650,000 in volume for 81 assets; Somnium Space traded $492,000 for 40 assets; and SuperWorld traded $227,600 for 506 assets — all of their top trades were also for virtual land.
The metaverse is an immersive virtual reality experience of the internet that uses blockchain technology and NFTs to pay and own items online. For example, when you make an in-game purchase, you actually own the item and are free to hold, trade or sell it.
According to DappRadar, $106 million worth of metaverse land was sold among more than 6,000 traders in the week ending on Thursday. “Undoubtedly, Metaverse land is the next big hit in the NFT space. Outputting record sales numbers and constantly increasing NFT prices, virtual worlds are the new top commodity in the crypto space,” stated DappRadar in a blog post at the time.
