Top 5 potential Metaverse blockchain projects to watch

What is Metaverse?

Metaverse is a virtual space created from the Internet and supporting tools such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), which make virtual experiences more lifelike.

This term has become the latest buzzword after Mark Zuckerberg announced that the social site Facebook would become a Metaverse.

Metaverse in the cryptocurrency market

Metaverse will use both the core technology and Blockchain technology, a decentralized and open-source platform. Metaverse stocks could be the next huge investing opportunity for investors.

Metaverse can provide new opportunities for future creators and gamers (such as NFTs, in-game items, etc).  Crypto will be the only currency in Metaverse, with all virtual properties and intangible items are represented by NFT.

The magnitude of cryptocurrency in Metaverse

Every society has its own economy and Metaverse’s economy is based on cryptocurrency. Although Metaverse is a virtual world, connection and interaction in this world are real. For that reason, within the Metaverse will be the demand to deliver permissionless identity, financial services, and high-speed exchange. Cryptocurrency plays an indispensable role in building a safe, modern, transparent, and decentralized economy in Metaverse.

Openness: Users can connect or disconnect at any time and be creative without any limitation.

Economic System: Users can exchange assets between the physical and virtual world, accumulate and increase their assets.
