A yacht or luxury yacht worth USD 650 thousand sold. What's so interesting? Yachts only exist in a metaverse...
His yacht is called the Metaflower Super Mega Yacht, which is a super luxury yacht that has a hot tub and a helipad, and actually if it exists in the real world it is very cheap at that price. But this yacht only exists in the virtual world, aka the metaverse.
This yacht is an NFT designed for The Sandbox, a virtual world where players can build, own, and monetize their gaming experiences.
The designer of this yacht is Republic Realm, an NFT and metaverse innovation and investment platform, which is part of the Fantasy Collection. This yacht is also the most expensive NFT ever sold at The Sandbox, which sold for 149 ether (worth around USD 650 thousand).
Republic Realm is a maker of luxury NFT goods for The Sandbox platform. Other products include private islands, jet skis, and speedboats.
In The Sandbox, players can create NFT digital assets and upload them to the marketplace, to be purchased by other players. Anyone who has a 'sand' -- a utility token on this platform -- can participate in becoming a government on the platform through a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).
But in another metaverse there are also those who spend almost USD 2.5 million to buy digital land, namely in the Decentraland metaverse. Then in Axie Infinity -- another metaverse -- someone bought digital land for $2.3 million.
It seems that many dared to spend a lot of money to buy goods or land in the metaverse, before this metaverse was widely used by people. Increasing public interest in the metaverse as the exchange rate of the cryptocurrencies linked to the metaverse increases.
