Beyond crypto

The fact that the metaverse is still in its infancy does not seem to be a problem for large investors. Although the guarantees and returns on investment in the medium to long term have yet to be proven, these new worlds are already moving large flows of money and promise to exceed all economic expectations.

Accelerated mainly by the gaming sector, the new economic systems generated in the metaverse awaken the interest of companies and investors who, attracted by their cross-border capacity and the decentralization of power - still in the hands of no one or a few - explore different alternatives to generate great wealth.

From the metaverse, based on the economy of creation, the users and companies that develop and give life to these new worlds will be shaping different commercial structures. Driven by economic transactions and supported by technologies such as blockchain, Web3, or virtual reality - raised in the Global Drivers in this same report - they will once again call into question all the traditional socioeconomic models of the real world, as has already happened with cryptocurrencies or Fintech.

A fact that shows that the metaverse goes far beyond the creation of experiences, towards a new, totally unexplored virtual space that needs to be built from the ground up.

"Supply and demand are driving the metaeconomy. People will have to develop the products that are consumed in the virtual world, which will create huge opportunities for the creative economy." JP Morgan
