The rapid rise in cryptocurrency and related assets has resulted in significant wealth accumulation, which may have repercussions for the broader economy. Research indicates that cryptocurrencies issued within metaverses and the prices of virtual real estate (LAND) are highly correlated, with correlations exceeding 0.96. An analysis suggests that changes in cryptocurrency prices can lead to fluctuations in LAND prices, demonstrating a wealth effect similar to that observed before the 1929 stock market crash, emphasizing the potential risks associated with this growing asset class.
The rapid rise in cryptocurrency prices and the significant wealth accumulation could potentially detrimentally spill over into other parts of the economy, raising concerns from financial authorities.
Cryptocurrency prices and their corresponding real estate prices show a high correlation (over 0.96) and a causal relationship, indicating that fluctuations in cryptocurrency values influence LAND prices.
