7 Ways to Invest in the Metaverse

Ways to Invest in The Metaverse_600 x 400

If you are living anywhere on this planet, you heard the “hot goss” about Facebook rebranding to “Meta” and Microsoft’s ambitious plans to build the Metaverse. The “Metaverse,” is a multidimensional opportunity that promises realistic digital avatars while NFTs become the future of ownership deeds.  It borrows from “Snow Crash,” a 1992 sci-fi novel by Neal Stephenson.

Covid-19 altered lifestyle behaviors as we acclimated to a 360-degree virtual shift by zoom-working and app-socializing, without FOMO. The Metaverse provides new technology that is an immersive experience and not just visual, with 3D simulations and realms wherein we can discover, develop, interact socially and do business. Here users get to participate in play-to-earn virtual games (think The Sandbox), create art, attend courses, or even date. Tinder’s Match group is planning a dating “Metaverse,” an avatar-based simulation virtual app; imagine if you could hop to a bar and meet a hot date hundreds of miles away. Are you thinking The Matrix yet? Like a sci-fi thriller, the Metaverse is a multiverse where virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and extended reality (XR) converge with the physical world.

The good news for investors is that you can already gain investment exposure to the growth of the Metaverse.
