The Land Grab Heard Round the Metaverse
Breaking records and possibly the internet too, Metaverse Group, a subsidiary of Tokens.com, just pulled off what they’re calling “the largest Metaverse land acquisition in history.” With a swoop of 116 parcels of prime virtual real estate in the stylish Fashion Street district of Decentraland, they’ve snagged a space that measures in at a dazzling 6,090 square feet! This little shopping spree cost them a cool 618,000 MANA tokens, which translates to about $2.5 million. Talk about a digital checkbook!
Fashion Meets the Metaverse
Plans for this fashionable land are as sparkly as a runway show. Metaverse Group will turn this pixelated paradise into a venue for ace fashion shows and commercial ventures. Fashion brands eager to strut their stuff in the virtual world will find a partner in Metaverse Group. Sam Hamilton from the Decentraland Foundation made it clear: “Fashion is the next massive area for growth in the Metaverse.” So yes, prepare for your wardrobe to get a serious avatar enhancement!
Funds for a Virtual Fantasy League
Meanwhile, over in the land of soccer, MetaSoccer just netted $2.2 million to roll out its game and soccer club management platform. With support from big players like Play Ventures and Defiance Capital, this venture is all about assembling a virtual soccer team, competing in matches, or even managing a whole season! Players can earn MSU tokens through the joys of trading players, winning matches, and securing endorsements. Looks like there’s a new crop of digital footie fanatics in the making!
NFTs and Family Entertainment
Shifting gears, Time Studios, the creative powerhouse behind Time Magazine, is dipping its toes into the NFT pool by developing a children’s series based on the Robotos NFT collection. This collection features 10,000 droids with meticulously generated traits. Time’s president, Keith A. Grossman, emphasizes their commitment to innovative storytelling, saying, “There is so much incredible IP being developed within the NFT space.” Sounds like the future of family TV might be filled with pixelated pals!
Dragons Not Just for Games!
If you thought dragons were solely fantasy creatures meant for video games or bedtime stories, think again! CryptoDragons recently sold out their second round of 1,000 “Eggs” for an astonishing 559 Ether (ETH), which is currently about $2.3 million. This project specializes in NFTs that hatch into dragons, fulfilling every fantasy lover’s dream. CEO Nari expressed gratitude, stating, “We are grateful to our community for another successful round.” Keep those wallets primed; these little beasts hatch into something magnificent!
To top off a wild week in the crypto world, Royal has also bagged $55 million in its Series A funding, while branded music platform Audius is set to enhance fan engagement for Twitter and Discord users through NFT embeds.
