CoinGecko noted that the cheapest land in the metaverse could be found in Voxels, which sells for 0.16 ETH as of May 24. Voxels’ virtual properties faced a 93.8% loss, as did Somnium.

“We’re number 5! We’re number 5! (It hurts me too, but winters gonna winter, only thing to do is to keep building).”

Tech giants and major economies continue to test the ultimate potential of metaverse through various investments and initiatives.
