Metaverse tokens show big gains

Metaverse tokens show big gains in January with the sector expected to reach a $5 trillion value by 2030

Out of the top 20 metaverse tokens, 18 were in the green in January, including several that went north of +300%

After spending much of 2022 in the doldrums, a number of tokens in the metaverse sector have seen significant gains in recent weeks, with 18 of the top 20 tokens in the sector seeing gains of +319% in the last 30 days.

Both Magic and High Street, two metaverse tokens, have increased by more than 300% in the last month.

Tokens related to virtual worlds and decentralized platforms built on blockchain technology, such as Decentraland and Sandbox, characterize the metaverse token market sector.

The total market cap of the 92 tokens on Cryptoslate’s metaverse sector index is $9.51 billion.

These tokens are used as currency within virtual environments, to sign up for and use specific services, or to purchase content on these platforms, a practice known in the industry as play-to-earn (think Axie Infinity).

The recent surge in their popularity could be attributed to a number of factors. One major example is the multibillion-dollar push by many in Big Tech to see the industry through a variety of costly VR and AR applications.

McKinsey reported in January 2023 that the Metaverse sector could be worth $5 trillion by 2030, thanks to a significant push from companies such as Alphabet (Google), Apple, and Meta (Facebook), all of which have expressed interest in developing this market.

The CoinDesk Culture & Entertainment Index (CNE), which includes a number of metaverse tokens such as Decentraland and Sandbox, as well as play-to-earn game tokens such as Axie Infinity, has risen by 83.2% in the last month.

Interoperability and open standards between devices such as augmented reality/virtual reality, sensors, haptics, and peripherals; platforms;and the development tools that allow for innovations to be built on top, the metaverse token sector still has a number of hurdles to clear before reaching more widespread adoption.
