Walmart appears to be venturing into the
metaverse with plans to create its own
cryptocurrency and collection of NFTs.

The big-box retailer filed several new trademarks


late last month that indicate its intent to make
and sell virtual goods.

In a separate filing, the company said it would offer


users a virtual currency, as well as non-fungible
tokens, or NFTs.

The Shanghai Municipal Commission has called in a
memo for “encouraging the implementation of the
metaverse in sectors like public services,
company offices, social entertainment,
industrial manufacture, production safety,
and electronic gaming.”

The metaverse will be an extension of the virtual
reality, augmented reality and mixed reality
technology already in use today.

Facebook and Microsoft glasses like Oculus and


HoloLens already are being used in key medical
technology applications, from design of medical
tools to surgical procedures.

“It’s like having a GPS navigator in front of your


eyes,” Timothy Witham, M.D., director of the Johns
Hopkins Neurosurgery Spinal Fusion
Laboratory, said after conducting the institution’s
first-ever augmented reality surgery in
June.

The Metaverse is a digital universe that moves
beyond the internet we know today.

This vision for the future state of the web has


the potential to transform our social
interactions, business dealings, and
the internet economy at large.

The Metaverse is still taking shape, but Web 3.0


open virtual world crypto networks are
offering a glimpse of what the future of
the internet may hold.

METAVERSE WARS
The market opportunity for bringing the
Metaverse to life may be worth over USD 1T in
annual revenue and may compete with Web 2.0
companies worth ~USD 15T in market value
today.

This potential has attracted


companies like Facebook to pivot
towards the Metaverse, which may
serve as a catalyst for other Web 2.0 tech
giants and investors to follow.
