The sales of NFTs linked to metaverse virtual worlds have spiked this year, according to a new DappRadar report.
"The first quarter of 2023 has seen unprecedented growth and innovation in the world of virtual reality… $502 million [was] invested into blockchain gaming and metaverse projects," it claimed."The virtual world market has been on a bull run since the start of the year," it said, pointing to a 277% increase in digital land trading volume.
Blur saw widespread wash sales spurred on by a program that offered big enough rewards to frequent traders that whales started selling themselves everything they could. $1.3 billion of the $2 billion in NFT sales racked up in the first two months of 2023 was down to Blur.The top performer, by far, was Otherdeed by Otherside. So far in Q1 2023, it has seen land sales of $222 million, up 237% from the previous quarter.
The two top newcomers were MG Land, which racked up $59 million in sales, and Createra's whose Genesis Land brought in $14 million.While The Sandbox and Decentraland are the best-known blockchain metaverses, they placed fourth and eighth, with sales down 36% to $3.5 million and 33% to $1.9 million, respectively.
The once-dominant blockchain-based game Axie Infinity's new Homeland, Lunacia, placed fifth, with $2.5 million in sales. And while that's down from $3 million in Q4 2022, the game, still in alpha, saw its new AXS rewards launched in late February. That required a rebuild of all land development.Related Articles
