The metaverse, a virtual realm where users can explore and interact with digital spaces, has gained immense popularity in recent years. One of the key aspects of the metaverse is virtual land, which can be bought, sold, and developed by users. A recent report by Coingecko reveals interesting trends in metaverse land prices, shedding light on both the most expensive and cheapest options available.
According to the report, as of May 24, 2023, the price of metaverse lands ranged from 0.37 to 1.09 ETH, with variations across different projects. Topping the list as the most expensive metaverse land was Otherdeeds by Otherside, priced at 1.09 ETH. This particular project is developed by Yuga Labs, the creators of the renowned Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFT project. Following closely behind is Decentraland, which currently trades at 0.64 ETH.
While these prices may seem high to some, it’s worth noting that the metaverse also offers more affordable options for aspiring virtual landowners. The report states that the cheapest land in the metaverse can be found in Voxels, priced at 0.16 ETH. Formerly known as Cryptovoxels, Voxels is a collection consisting of 7,930 parcels of land, each with unique characteristics such as size and location. The next most affordable options are Somnium Space, trading at 0.37 ETH, and The Sandbox at 0.43 ETH.
To provide a broader perspective, the report also highlights the peak prices of metaverse lands. During the peak of the NFT bull market, metaverse lands reached staggering heights, with prices soaring as high as 7.50 ETH. Otherdeeds, the most expensive land at present, had a floor price of 7.50 ETH on May 1, 2022.
The second most expensive collection during the peak was Somnium Space, which traded at 6.05 ETH at the beginning of 2022. Decentraland followed as the third most expensive, with lands priced at 5.24 ETH. The Sandbox and Voxels rounded out the top five, trading at 4.20 ETH and 2.59 ETH respectively.
However, since reaching their peak, metaverse land prices have experienced significant declines. The report reveals that Somnium Space suffered the largest drop, plummeting by 93.9% from its peak. Voxels closely followed with a decline of 93.8%. The Sandbox experienced an 89.8% drop, while Decentraland fell by 87.8%. Even Otherdeeds, currently the most expensive, saw a decrease of 85.5%.
These significant drops in metaverse land prices indicate a market correction following the NFT boom. While the sector remains dynamic and subject to fluctuation, these price changes reflect the evolving nature of the metaverse landscape and provide potential opportunities for those interested in owning virtual land.
As the metaverse continues to expand and captivate users worldwide, the prices of virtual land are likely to remain an important factor in shaping the future of this digital frontier. Whether affordable or extravagant, metaverse land holds the potential for users to express their creativity, build unique experiences, and participate in the ever-growing virtual world.
