| Submission declined on 19 September 2024 by CoconutOctopus (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of websites). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

Virtual real estate refers to the ownership of digital land or property within virtual worlds, often called metaverses. These properties are purchased with cryptocurrency and exist solely online. Well-known brands such as Adidas, HSBC, and J.P. Morgan have invested in virtual real estate. Popular platforms for buying virtual land include Decentraland and The Sandbox, where users can buy, sell, and develop virtual properties.
Virtual real estate can be monetized through various means, such as leasing for events, selling, or creating digital art galleries. Transactions are secured by non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on blockchain technology, ensuring authenticity and ownership. Despite the potential for profit, the market remains volatile due to the fluctuating value of cryptocurrencies. Investors are advised to proceed with caution, as the industry grows alongside the expanding metaverse economy.[1][2]
Despite the growing popularity of virtual real estate, it remains a speculative and volatile market of virtual economy. Cryptocurrency, which is commonly used for transactions, is known for its price fluctuations. As such, potential investors are advised to invest cautiously and be prepared for potential losses. Nevertheless, the increasing involvement of major companies, the rise in virtual event hosting, and the growing number of social activities within the metaverse indicate that virtual real estate may become an integral part of the future digital economy[3]
