Part 2. Virtual Real Estate Data
NFT Worlds takes out our Sales Champion of the Week with its 13.21 ETH Avg Price. So even though NFT Worlds’ total sales are not the highest, its total is the largest.
It’s worth noting that sales of Worldwide Webb and The Sandbox were far ahead this week, most probably due to the release of Alpha news from both projects.
The launch of The Sandbox’s Season 2 and Worldwide Webb’s Apartment Builder have pushed both projects into the limelight. We think they will be hot for a while to come.
