Looking at Decentraland, and another 7D LANDs slide (-15.47%) saw its LANDs cap crash to 140k ETH, with trading activity slow of late and only 7 sales over the past week for a meager volume of 3.5 ETH (-60.1%).
Otherdeed 7D land sales (+71.4% to 156) & volume (+51.9% to 131.31 ETH) re-emerged above 100 & 100 ETH respectively for Otherside (which they both sank beneath in the week previous).
It occurred just as Yuga Labs cemented partnerships in a move to “propel development” (see Partnerships, below), and AIP-304 approved ApeCoin DAO invest in 11m $APE worth of Yuga assets (See Project Updates, below). $APE continues to fall, last week by another 0.78% to 1.10530 ETH, about half what it was 3mths ago.

Meanwhile, Voxels witnessed its most active week of trading since the same time last month (7D volume +530%), with 4 sales on Monday resulting in its highest daily volume in over a month. 30D volume is still down 39.6%.
With a date now locked in for the BYORacer launch in early October (see Project Updates), there is a certain level of excitement in the air. BYOLands sales spike over the weekend extended into Mon & Tue, clocking 400+ for the fortnight.
Somnium Space also enjoyed a weekly uptick in trade with 13 parcels (+333%) moving wallets, & 7D volume up 230.5%.
Meanwhile, purchases of Apartments eased at Worldwide Webb as the excitement of 3 weeks of Rugbusterz Rumbles subsided, 7D sales & volume sliding backwards 82.6% & 94.4% respectively, and its total land cap hanging within the 10–11k ETH zone.
