OneLand’s 7-day data reveals land market cap for the 10 listed metaverse projects down 4.01% to around 950,698.32 ETH or $1.24 billion. Aggregate land caps rebounded through September on the back of a Decentraland recovery, but have since reversed, falling for a second consecutive week, as has Decentraland’s land cap for a second week since early August.
Land caps of other projects were mostly up, but marginally, for the week, including The Sandbox which at least maintained some momentum as it moves into its final weeks of AlphaS3.
Total land cap of Otherdeeds ended the week pretty much where it started it, up just 0.33%. It follows a one-day crash of 8.4% on Oct 7, after it had begun the month flirting with half a million ETH. There were no high-price sales this week, and in fact there has not been one Otherdeed sold for higher than 40 ETH since September. Trading volume was up for the week (+9%), as it has been for the month.
Meanwhile, it was a better week for Arcade Land, with trading volume up 211% and sales 113%. Voxels also saw a weekly climb in trading volumes, while Voxels and Arcade Land’s average prices recovered 56% and 45%% respectively.
ETH’s price remained stagnant for the 7 days (down 1.23%) as it has been for a month now.
