The price for a one year-old Terra Virtua Kolect (TVK) cryptocurrency token declined over the past month as the rally in metaverse coins ran out of steam. TVK has fallen by more than 50% since the price spiked in late November.
The Terra Virtua Kolect platform aims to bring together virtual reality and augmented reality in the metaverse to use non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as immersive collectibles enabled by the blockchain.
How does the Terra Virtua Kolect crypto token fit into this ecosystem and where do analysts see the TVK price moving in the future?
TVK plans immersive collectibles experience
The Terra Virtua platform was founded in 2017 by chief executive officer (CEO) Gary Bracey and chief technology officer Jawad Ashra. Bracey has worked in the games industry for more than 30 years at companies like Ocean Software, Digimask and Kuju Entertainment. Ashra previously worked in the mobile applications and energy trading industries.
Terra Virtua provides NFT trading, a mobile app for using NFTs with augmented reality and a PC application that enables users to view NFTs in 3D environments.
Terra Virtua takes a cross-platform approach, enabling users to display and share their collectibles on mobile devices and use virtual reality to customise and livestream their personal spaces to show their collections.
Terra Virtua initially developed applications and spaces for its metaverse in 2018, but “we looked at the long term play and medium term objectives and decided to scale back our ambitions and focus on the marketplace,” Ashra wrote in an October blog post.
“We wanted to bring digital collectibles to the mainstream, but build it with the ability to take those ‘NFTs’ — into more of an immersive world which is the ultimate direction for Terra Virtua. The Fancave, Terradome and Art Galleries were unplugged from the metaverse and made standalone as a way to introduce everyone to immersive spaces.”
The development team has been working on a new version of the Terra Virtua Marketplace, which is planned for launch in three phases starting in the first quarter of 2022. A latest version of the mobile app will be integrated into the new marketplace.
In the latest TVK coin news, on 4 November, the company announced it had raised $2.5m in a financing round supported by funds, including Woodstock, Hashed, NGC Ventures, LD Capital and Twin Apex Ventures, ahead of the launch of its TVK cryptocurrency token in December 2020.
What is TVK coin?
Holders of TVK tokens can join the Terra Virtua Prestige loyalty scheme, which launched on 31 August 2021. TVK rewards include gamification layers, which allow users to complete quests, enter competitions, earn badges and create collectibles.
TVK holders will also be able to participate in the governance of curated galleries and spaces. Creators will also be able to stake their tokens to create their own collectors using TVK’s tools.
The TVK metaverse will have features only available to TVK holders.
· Terra Virtua has announced partnerships throughout 2021 to develop its ecosystem, including: interoperability with Elrond to move NFTs between blockchains
· Self-minting with Phantasma’s Smart NFT technology
· Easy sign-in with Arkane Network
· Farming collaboration with staking product UniFarm
· Payment processing with blockchain stablecoin transaction provider OIN
· Gamifying NFTs with Polkamarkets
· Promoting NFTs and digital collectibles with Ethernity
· Exploring escrow for NFTs with Polkalokr
· Authenticating physical assets with NFTs using the CasperLabs network
“The relationships we are building with brands and new IPs are completely focussed on making their assets completely interoperable with our metaverse and our upcoming marketplaces,” Ashra wrote.
In August, Terra Virtua migrated from the Ethereum blockchain where transaction fees were high, to the Polygon network. The move was also motivated by concerns about the high level of energy consumption of Proof of Work (PoW) blockchains like Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC).
“We consider ourselves very energy-conscious and so this was a natural step for us.”
The Terra Virtua Kolect coin chart shows that the token price launched at $0.06075 on 16 December 2020 and began to rise in line with an upward trend in cryptocurrency prices into early 2021.

TVK fell further in late June, slipping below the $0.10 level to bottom out at $0.07421 on 22 June.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
