JP Morgan made an attempt to achieve just that. The bank opened its Onyx club in the game's Metajuku neighbourhood, a simulated recreation of Tokyo's Harajuku shopping area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lounge fits nicely into the virtual world inhabited by crypto enthusiasts. The first floor is home to a tiger and floating NFTs<\/a>. It also includes a portrait of Jamie Dimon, the bank's CEO. Residents of Decentraland can listen to specialists discuss crypto investments on the second floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JP Morgan sees a future for the Metaverse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite including some meme components in its lounge, the United States' largest bank<\/a> is serious about the Metaverse. The Onyx lounge opened at the same time as the bank released an assessment on its potential, which was bullish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In the future years, the metaverse will most likely permeate every sector in some fashion, with a business opportunity estimated at over $1 trillion in annual profits.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consumers worldwide currently spend $54 billion on virtual goods<\/a> each year, according to the bank. This is expected to increase in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decentraland and the metaverse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Decentraland,<\/a> although not being VR-ready, is one of the games that aim to profit on the metaverse trend by using blockchain. Blockchain technology may be critical for metaverse development, particularly in Decentraland, where NFTs representing land and assets, as well as the local MANA coin, are used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can utilize utility money like MANA to purchase land, virtual items, and services in-game. As a result, the price is determined by the popularity of the game. That's why the announcement that JP Morgan had joined the game boosted Decentraland's token by roughly 10%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonetheless, the JP Morgan statement was viewed by crypto markets <\/a>as a vote of confidence for Decentraland rather than the Metaverse area in general. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
