💹 MARKET DATA

Join us Tuesdays at 5am UTC in our Discord for a Metaverse Data Dive into our weekly data and a few interesting highlights.

OneLand 7-day data shows total land market cap for the 10 projects listed down 0.68% to 929,432 ETH or approx. $1.525 billion (-3%).

This mirrored the 3% fall in the crypto market — $ETH fell by 2.47%, while $SAND, $MANA, $CUBE and $WRLD were all down.

Context:

• The Sandbox launched its Voxel Madness Land Sale, but reaped little ROI for it, save for perhaps a month-high sale of 3.89 ETH.

• Decentraland’s land cap (-9.4%) is down 26.2% since hitting a 6-month high of 290k ETH on Feb 1.

• Otherside’s land market cap continues to rally — up 27.3% since Nov 26, and another 4% for the week.

Highlight: Worldwide Webb

If 191 Apartment sales (62.17 ETH volume) on Sat 18th was a bumper trading day, then Thu 23rd was simply explosive. As per our Tweet, Worldwide Webb recorded an incredible 670 individual trades on Thursday, with volume skyrocketing 7,753% in just 24 hours, as news came hot off the press of Pantera Capital injecting $10 million into the project coffers.

336.12 ETH was its highest Daily Trading Volume in 10.5 months, while the day’s top sale of 16.88 was also its highest sale since Aug 3. Forgive us for wondering though… was it just one more Blurry sale to win more airdrop?

Worldwide Webb ended the week with 843 sales (+241%) and trading volume of 399.5 ETH (+412.6%), eclipsing that of The Sandbox (+1.18%) which launched its Voxel Madness Sale on Tuesday, though with little in the way of positive sales data to show for it. Average price jumped 50.2%.

Still, land cap (-1.07%) was down, and so were holder numbers (-1.3%), though the top 1% upped their stake by 4.68% for the 7D. It indicates a consolidation from holders, buying at prices higher than in recent months, but still lower than those initially bought.
