The Metaverse Could Be a Money-Making Industry
If the Metaverse takes off, it will likely change the way we interact with the digital world. The blockchain-powered, community-run Metaverse is a new bubble for artists, content creators, and gamers. As an open source medium, the Metaverse may even turn into a money-making industry. Matthew Ball believes the Metaverse will be a driving force behind the creation of companies and the gateway to more digital experiences. He also believes that the Metaverse could revolutionize the way we work and play.
Animoca Brands has a proven track record of success in the metaverse space, having acquired Sandbox. The company’s success has led to the inking of 24 metaverse VC deals in the last nine quarters. Animoca Brands is also a major shareholder in NBA Top Shot developer Dapper Labs and CryptoKitties. Despite its relatively small size, Sandbox has grown into one of the most profitable metaverse ventures.
Other blockchain-based games based on the blockchain include Decentraland and SecondLive. For instance, Axie Infinity, a popular virtual reality game built on the Ethereum blockchain, allows users to own their own virtual land. The game allows users to earn virtual currency by staking them and playing other games. Microsoft unveils the Mesh platform in 2021. And then there are the video game companies, including Fortnite developer Epic Games, which has recently received $1 billion in funding. The company also announces its plans for the metaverse.
The concept of a metaverse has garnered significant hype and attention in recent months. The concept of a digital “world within a virtual environment” has caught the attention of Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Its developers have invested heavily in virtual reality and have rebranded the company to Meta Platforms. This rebranding will undoubtedly bring greater attention to the Metaverse and its future applications. It could also revolutionize the way we interact with the digital world.
