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.

Sales peaked mid-week as Worldwide Webb announced its next playtest for Apartment holders.

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.
