Top Ways to Invest in the Virtual Real Estate Boom

February 14, 2022 - Baystreet.ca


Early investors are buying up property that exists in the digital world. In fact, many are spending millions, if not billions on real estate that only exists in the metaverse. It’s become so popular that metaverse real estate sales topped $500 million in 2021. This year, that number is only expected to double, as noted by CNBC. Even better, according to a report from BrandEsseence Market Research, the metaverse real estate market could grow at a compound annual rate of 31% through 2028. All of which could be beneficial for Tokens.com Corp. (NEO:COIN)(OTCQB:SMURF), which is the only public company that owns metaverse real estate, Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:FB), Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. (TSX:GLXY)(OTC:BRPHF), and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT).

In addition, according to Goldman Sachs, we could be looking at an $8 trillion opportunity. “We look at the digital economy today, which is roughly about 20%, 25% of the global economy … We see the digital economy continuing to grow, and on top of that we see a virtual economy that will grow within and alongside this digital economy,” according to analyst Eric Sheridan, as quoted by Bitcoin.com. “That’s how we came up with the number for various outcomes of anywhere from $2 trillion to $12 trillion, with $8 trillion at the midpoint of all potential outcomes.” Even Bank of America’s Haim Israel said the metaverse could be a “massive, massive opportunity,” as also quoted by Bitcoin.com.
