One way for traders and investors to capitalize on the burgeoning Metaverse market is to buy virtual real estate across different digital worlds. There are multiple options for purchasing LAND in the Metaverse, and this article looks at some of the most underrated options. Let’s look at our picks of the top five Metaverse cryptocoins for March 2022, ranked by current market cap, from 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 using the latest Unreal Engine 5 from Epic Games.
The Wilder World Metaverse is currently in development, but the project offers a robust NFT market with over 6,800 items from over 2,300 owners. The NFT marketplace also boasts over $8 million in total trading volume, which speaks to the sheer size of the Wilder World ecosystem.
The Marketplace features multiple collections including Vehicles, Cars, Shoes, Guilds, Concepts, and Virtual Properties.
Users can buy cribs in Wiami, the first city in Wilder World. Using lidar data, the team created a 1-to-1 geographic replica of Miami; takes place in a nearby alternate dimension. Wiami offers different types of real estate from condos to land.
South Beach is the first district to be developed in Wilder World and will be the central hub of Wiami. Prior to launch, users will be able to purchase condos in Qube, a Genesis real estate release in Wilder World consisting of 108 unique procedurally generated NFT condos spread over 39 floors.
The average sale price for a condo in Qube is roughly in the $700-$1200 range, which is quite affordable compared to some of the other LANDs on this list.
WILD is the primary utility asset on the platform used to purchase NFTs and will be used for various Wilder World Metaverse activities after release.
You can buy 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 another top-tier Metaverse cryptocoin, also building an ultra-realistic Metaverse powered by Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 4. Victoria VR offers some of the best crypto designs, and its unique feature is its massive development team of over 80 developers at writing, aiming to surpass 300 developers by the end of 2022.
Focused on building an immersive and high-definition metaverse, the project begins with the introduction of an NFT Gallery, allowing players to show off their NFTs in an ultra-realistic environment.
Victoria VR also offers VR Lands registered on the blockchain as NFTs. A limited number of VR Lands are available for purchase and minting through a VR Lands sale or by another player.
VR lands can be used to construct in-game utility buildings (mines, warehouses, etc.), showcase buildings (shops/shops, showrooms), private buildings (clubhouses, businesses, etc.), and a port in another world, game, or a virtual reality.
Unfortunately, it’s not as easy to buy VR Lands for Victoria VR as other projects as users had to be whitelisted. The team took the final snap today (March 23) and are currently compiling a list of winners.

Still, it’s worth keeping an eye out for VR Lands popping up in the market as players get them and try to trade them in for profit.
If you still want to support the project but missed the whitelist, you can still buy VR tokens and use them on the Victoria VR finance dashboard and earn VR shares as a reward.
