The real estate market is heating up. Not the real estate you just thought of, but it’s actually the virtual one. Investors are pouring in millions of dollars in the Metaverse, which Grayscale said could be a $3 trillion a year revenue opportunity.

The Metaverse is a virtual 3D world. The technology allows people to socialize, shop, play games, and imitate real-life interactions — within a limit.

The metaverse is still "in its early innings," said Grayscale, which runs the world's biggest cryptocurrency fund, in a recent report. Here are the largest NFT related sales to date:
