Baidu isn't the only big name in China's internet industry that wanted to get their own metaverse trademarks. Companies like NetEase Global and Alibaba have applied to trademark the term “metaverse,” a Chinese insider says in a tweet. Bytedance \u2013 the parent company of TikTok \u2013 has also applied for the trademark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Metaverse' rising growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Metaverse is quickly becoming the new internet craze. China, which has a very powerful government, is now trying to ban crypto in the metaverse as well. There were a lot of Metaverse-related scams last week, so the Chinese state media warned people not to fall for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grayscale<\/a> released a report last month that said the number of Metaverse users grew by 10X in just over a year and a half. Also, the report said that if the metaverse kept growing at this rate, it would most likely become a trillion-dollar business by the end of next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's also said in Grayscale's report that Metaverse could be the key to Web 3.0, like how Facebook was the key to Web 2.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Web 2.0 mobile internet changed how, where, when, and why we used the internet. In turn, this changed the products, services, and companies we used, which changed our business models, culture, and politics \u2013 the Web 3.0 Metaverse<\/a> has the potential to do the same.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
