Digital Real Estate and Land Ownership in The Metaverse with Janine Yorio from Republic Realm

In this episode of the Welcome to the Metaverse podcast, I chat to the brilliant Janine Yorio. Janine is the Managing Director of Republic Realm, who are the premier real estate investor and developer in the metaverse. I personally found this chat absolutely fascinating as Janine talks about their investment strategy in the digital real estate space. We talk about their record breaking $900,000 estate purchase in Decentraland, their development of the Metajuku District and virtual shopping mall, their upcoming projects including Fantasy Islands and a whole host more.
