Nifty News: $2.5M virtual land sale, MetaSoccer raises $2.2M, CryptoDragons get Egg-cited.

Metaverse Group has snapped up a lot of land and has said it has no plans to stop buying plots of metaverse land across various metaverse platforms.


Metaverse Group, which is headquartered in Decentraland, announced on Nov. 23 that it had completed what it calls “the largest Metaverse land acquisition in history.”

The subsidiary of Tokens.com snapped up 116 parcels of land “in the heart of the Fashion Street district” in Decentraland. The total size of the land purchased is equivalent to 6,090 square feet of land at the cost of 618,000 MANA tokens worth about $2.5 million.

Metaverse Group plans to develop the estate for fashion shows and commerce. It will also form partnerships with fashion brands looking to expand their presence in the Metaverse, especially in Decentraland. “Fashion is the next massive area for growth in the Metaverse,” said Sam Hamilton, Head of Content at the Decentraland Foundation.

The deal is the first of many by Metaverse Group since Tokens.com became its primary shareholder. The listed Canadian blockchain investment firm invested $2.75 million in Metaverse Group on Nov. 17 to increase its control of the shares from 50% to 70%. Metaverse Group plans on using the funds to buy more land in Metaverses such as Decentraland, Somnium Space, The Sandbox, Cryptovoxels, and Upland.
