From November 2021: A patch of virtual real estate sold for a record $2.4 million worth of cryptocurrency. The plot exists in the online environment 'Decentraland,' where users can buy land, visit buildings and meet people as avatars
Interest surged last month when Facebook changed its name to Meta to reflect its focus on developing virtual reality products for the metaverse.
Crypto enthusiasts buy land there as a speculative investment, using Decentraland's cryptocurrency, MANA.
