Meta filed five applications for its namesake to be used in a platform named Meta Pay, according to papers submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, on May 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta's name was listed in the applications for an “online social networking service for investors allowing financial transactions \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>and exchange of digital currency, virtual currency, cryptocurrency, digital and blockchain assets, digitized assets, digital tokens, crypto tokens, and utility tokens.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta filed eight trademark applications with the USPTO in March, all of which were related to the Metaverse and blockchain technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 9, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the firm has begun testing digital collectibles on Instagram, indicating that nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, might be added. Meta now manages a number of popular apps, including WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other US-based corporations, such as Gatorade maker Stokely-Van Camp, the Air Force<\/a>, the New York Stock Exchange, and Mastercard, have filed similar applications relating to possible Metaverse additions or other crypto-related expansions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of March, trademark applications take about eight months to process the initial step, according to the USPTO website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since changing its name from Facebook to Meta in October 2021, the social media behemoth has unveiled a slew of measures ostensibly geared at helping cryptocurrency users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta has increased its real-world presence with the creation of a metaverse-themed retail store in the San Francisco Bay Area<\/a>, in addition to its online activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
