The so-called virtual real estate is the real estate in the meta universe. Each piece of land in the metauniverse is given its unique and non reproducible non homogenous token (NFT, i.e. a piece of code) to distinguish each plot and each transaction. Game developers and players can buy / sell in the primary / secondary market on the platform, and use virtual real estate for immersive residential or business experience.

Since 2021, the NFT market has witnessed explosive growth. The full name of NFT is non homogeneous token. In short, NFT is an entry of the blockchain, which is a decentralized digital ledger technology similar to cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. After being combined with works of art, works of art or other things can be uniquely identified. By marking the user’s ownership of a specific asset through the blockchain, NFT can become a recognized tradable entity of this specific asset.
Since the second half of 2020, NFT trading has surged. As of early December 2021, the cumulative trading volume of opensea, the world’s leading NFT trading platform, reached US $12.91 billion in 2021.
a sharp tool for cutting leeks?
The sudden popularity of metauniverse NFT, coupled with the related financial products, has to make the outside world doubt that it is possible to hype.
Nadya Ivanova, chief operating officer of latelier BNP Paribas, an emerging market research company, said in an interview with the media that anyone on the Internet can create NFT with anything, which means that there are many “very bad” tokens, and trained eyes are needed to identify what is worth collecting or investing.
However, even if NFT products are not yet mature , players flock to this tuyere in order to get through the tuyere of yuanuniverse. According to media reports, the meta universe app “Rainbow universe” developed by the listed company Inmyshow Digital Technology (Group) Co.Ltd(600556) is still in the internal test stage. Although Inmyshow Digital Technology (Group) Co.Ltd(600556) has repeatedly stressed that “Rainbow universe does not support users’ digital collection trading behavior”, the news of players privately trading virtual real estate continues to pop up. In mid December, the transfer price of top real estate projects on the second-hand trading platform once exceeded 100000 yuan.
Since then, the trading platform has shielded the keywords such as “meta universe” and “Rainbow universe”, and the trading transactions of virtual real estate can hardly be retrieved with Pinyin and homophony. Although there are still sellers selling virtual real estate, the price has shrunk sharply.
