The Metaverse is poised to become tech’s next trillion-dollar opportunity, as an increasing number of companies are showing interest in immersive virtual spaces that will allow consumers to go beyond what’s possible in real life. This was highlighted in a recent report from CB Insights, which found that the Metaverse will disrupt at least 13 leading industries including fashion, retail, gaming, education and more. 

The metaverse is quickly becoming a reality, making its way into different aspects of our lives, including games, work and social engagements. However, at present, many look to the metaverse only as a way that we can enhance our physical reality by extending the realm of what is possible. The resulting process has been taking a concept and bringing it to design to prototype and prototype to the metaverse; this is the linear path that many real-world items travel to enter the realm of Web3.

crypto sector. The NFT sector witnessed a massive growth the previous year: in 2021 alone, the market was valued at $40 billion. This sector has continued to grow this year with new NFT marketplaces getting launched. With this continued growth, what we also saw was a new coin taking the sector by storm — $APE. Remember last year when the likes of Paris Hilton, Neymar Jr, Snoop Dogg, and many other celebrities purchased from Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), which is now one of the most popular NFTs by volume? Well, ApeCoin is the ERC-20 governance and utility token within the APE ecosystem. What this means is that every investor who bought (or will buy a BAYC NFT) would get APE tokens for free. They can cash in or sell whenever they want. Another point to note is that ApeCoin was officially created by ApeCoin DAO and not Yuga Labs, the team behind BAYC. Why does this detail matter? Most likely for regulatory purposes. Cryptocurrencies cannot give off stockish vibes. If they do, then most likely the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will come down hard on the token and the company (just like they did with Ripple). We will come back to this point a little later.

Cryptocurrency gaming has already changed the public perception of the industry, from one that was built on the foundations of fun to an opportunity for earning. Unfortunately, much of the potential is still limited due to the high barriers for new players. Among these are the perceived knowledge gap required to participate in the cryptocurrency industry, associated wallets and navigating unknown platforms. On the other side, players looking at testing a new gameplay model have found themselves discouraged by the initial costs to begin.

Everyone might be a genius during a bull market, but the real stars begin to shine when the waters get choppy. The same can be said for crypto projects and developers and once the pump is over, it's easier for investors to separate the pump and dump projects from those with good fundamentals.
