One way for traders and investors to capitalize on the emerging Metaverse market is by purchasing virtual real estate in various digital worlds. There are several options available for buying LAND in the Metaverse, and this article looks at some of the most underrated options. Let’s look at our pick of the top five Metaverse crypto coins for virtual real estate in March 2022, ordered by current market capitalization, lowest to highest.
#5 Wilder World (WILD) – $107 million
Launched in May 2021, Wilder World (WILD) is one of the most anticipated Metaverse crypto projects. The team is building an ultra-realistic virtual world utilizing Epic Games’ latest Unreal Engine 5.
The Wilder World Metaverse is currently in development, but the project features a robust NFT market with over 6,800 items spanning over 2,300 owners. The NFT marketplace also features a total trading volume of over $8 million, speaking to the sheer scale of the Wilder World ecosystem.
The marketplace features several collections, including vehicles, cars, shoes, guilds, concepts, and virtual real estate.
Users can purchase cribs in Wiami, the first city in Wilder World. Using lidar data, the team created a 1 to 1 geographical replica of Miami; set in a nearby alternate dimension. Wiami offers various types of real estate, varying from condos to compounds.
South Beach is the first district being developed in Wilder World and will be the central hub of Wiami. Ahead of the launch, users can purchase condos in Qube, a genesis real estate release in Wilder World consisting of 108 unique procedurally generated NFT condos spread across 39 floors.
The average sale price for a condo in Qube is roughly in the range of $700-$1200, quite affordable compared to some other LANDs on this list.
WILD is the primary utility asset on the platform used to buy NFTs and will be used for various Wilder World Metaverse activities when released.
You can purchase WILD on Uniswap, KuCoin, MEXC, BitMart, BKEX, LATOKEN, Huobi Global, Bitfinex, and more.
#4 Victoria VR (VR) – $108 million
Launched in December 2021, Victoria VR is yet another top-rated Metaverse crypto coin also building an ultra-realistic Metaverse with Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 4. Victoria VR features some of the best designs in crypto, and its unique feature is its vast development team spanning over 80 devs at writing with a goal of surpassing 300 developers by the end of 2022.
The project focuses on building an immersive and high-definition Metaverse and will start by launching an NFT gallery enabling players to show off their NFTs in an ultra-realistic setting.
Victoria VR also features VR Lands registered on the blockchain as NFTs. There are a limited number of VR Lands available, which can be purchased and minted through a VR Lands Sale or from another player.
VR Lands can be used for the construction of utility buildings directly in the game (mines, warehouses, etc.), buildings for presentation (shops/stores, showrooms), private buildings (clubhouses, enterprises, etc.), and a port into another world, game, or virtual reality.
Unfortunately, it’s not as easy to purchase VR Lands for Victoria VR as other projects, as users had to be whitelisted. The team took the last snapshot today (March 23rd) and is currently gathering a list of winners.

Nevertheless, it’s worth keeping an eye on VR Lands showing up on the market as players receive them and try to trade them for profit.
If you’re still looking to support the project but missed the whitelist, you can still purchase VR tokens and stake them on Victoria VR’s finance dashboard, earning VR Shares as a reward.
VR is the primary utility asset on the platform, enabling users to interact with the Metaverse and stake it for rewards.
You can purchase VR on Uniswap (V2), KuCoin, BitMart, Gate.io, and more.
#3 Bloktopia (BLOK) – $132 million

Within Bloktopia, the purchase of virtual real estate is known as Reblok. Bloktopians will be able to buy virtual real estate following the BLOK token distribution event (TGE).
