Aussies embrace Metaverse ETF with 32 stocks in basket8/8/2022
0 Comments

 
The ASX welcomed its newest exchange-traded fund (ETF) to its boards last week.
Over the past 12 months, ASX has welcomed the BetaShares Online Retail and E-Commerce ETF (ASX: IBUY), the ETFS Hydrogen ETF (ASX: HGEN), and the BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP) to the ASX.

And now, the BetaShares Metaverse ETF (ASX: MTAV) joined this list. 

Metaverse ETF joins the ASX
As its name implies, it invests in a basket of global ‘metaverse’ shares.
As my Fool colleague Tony noted in his coverage, the metaverse is the term that refers to the idea that the internet will morph into a “massive unified virtual world”.
It has been a term most associated with the social media giant Meta Platforms, which of course used to be known as Facebook.
So it perhaps will come as no surprise that Meta stock is one of the largest holdings in this new ETF. But other well-known shares like Roblox, NVIDIA, Apple and Disney are also present in its 32-share strong portfolio.

Tequila brand Patrón has unveiled a new virtual reality cocktail experience in Decentraland.

The move marks the Bacardi-owned brand’s entry into the metaverse. It is described as a ‘natural progression’ for the brand after it created its first non-fungible token (NFT).
“As a leader in the Tequila category, innovation has always been essential to the core of Patrón Tequila which is why we are excited to embark on this unique, virtual journey in Decentraland,” said Kathy Parker, president and global chief marketing officer.
“At Patrón, we celebrate creative communities like the metaverse that bring people together in a digital world. With this new venture, we hope to spark curiosity, creativity and connection this summer while offering our Tequila fans a new way to experience the mastery behind our brand.”
The experience, called Summer Made Sensational: A Patrón Pop-Up Series, is inspired by three of the brand’s cocktails.
The experience will help consumers find ingredients to make Patrón Perfect Paloma, Patrón Silver & Soda, and Patrón Añejo Highball.
A virtual bartender will provide details on sourcing different ingredients to make a cocktail at all three locations – Jazz Club, Flamingos and Metaverse Festival.
Following the successful completion of each quest, participants will head to the next bar to take on a new cocktail mission.

0 Comments KuCoin Teams Up with Ertha to Show How to Trade in the Metaverse8/8/2022

KuCoin has announced its entry into the Ertha metaverse, showing digital citizens all there is to know about trading. Renowned for their pursuit of high-quality blockchain projects, they have partnered with Ertha, a highly anticipated metaverse project.

  • Ertha is a metaverse project on Binance Smart Chain, incorporating play-and-earn as well as play-and-learn mechanics.
  • KuCoin’s arrival in Ertha aims to provide users with a state-of-the-art venue for a metaverse trading experience.
  • The Ertha metaverse consists of 360,000  land plots, which are crucial resources for players to generate earnings. 
  • A limited-time land sale with 30% off is underway.
  • Ertha’s Early Beta is now open to all users to experience the gameplay.
The metaverse is not separated from people’s real lives. Instead, it is an extension that complements our real world. This is why tech companies are constantly innovating and experimenting, bringing users an ultra-realistic and interactive metaverse experience.
Among them is Ertha, a metaverse project that aims to replicate a real-life environment, simulating the actions that people have to perform to live a life. In addition, businesses and partnerships are forming in this virtual world. 
KuCoin, one of crypto’s largest exchanges, has recently announced its arrival in Ertha’s metaverse. So what kind of synergy will be created by the collaboration between the two?

KuCoin joins Ertha to seek a win-win opportunity
Big brands have already made their presence in the metaverse. Nike, Adidas, Gucci, Coca-Cola, and more are tapping into the new digital frontier. KuCoin, the global cryptocurrency exchange, has also settled down in the metaverse, exploring new scenarios for seamless digital asset trading.
Ertha’s play-and-earn and play-and-learn mechanics grant NFT owners a real opportunity to earn income from their land. KuCoin is among the earliest investors to seize such an opportunity. As the boundary between the virtual world and the real one blurs, KuCoin believes it is necessary to provide a state-of-the-art venue for metaverse users to browse live market charts and begin trading any time they want.

0 Comments Manchester City’s Third Kit Takes Football to the Metaverse8/8/2022

Following the release of Manchester City’s home jersey that pays homage to the club’s legendary striker Colin Bell, PUMA and the current Premier League champions have just presented their official third kit ahead of the new campaign.
The new jersey is City’s first-ever Metaverse kit launch and was unveiled for the first time on Roblox, allowing players to explore and interact with the new kit in the PUMA and Land of Games experience. Now, the new strip is being presented on players and is inspired by Manchester’s distinct and historic street art. Arriving in a spray-paint-effect “Fizzy Light” and “Parisian Night” color palette, the shirt features a hooped design and drawings based on the Manchester Worker Bee, the symbol of Mancunian heritage that represents the working class roots of the city.
For the first two weeks of the kit launch, players who compete and win in the game Football Rush in PUMA and the Land of Games can download a free digital version of the jersey. All other visitors also have the chance to purchase the digital kit in the PUMA gear store on Roblox.

0 Comments Are the SEC and FINRA moving to the Metaverse?8/8/2022

Are the SEC and FINRA setting up shop in the metaverse? Not quite yet, but we stress yet! Like private sector businesses, U.S. financial services regulators are increasingly exploring what the metaverse, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) mean for their registrants’ businesses and also for the means and methods of regulating them. 
One noteworthy example: FINRA recently announced that it is developing “Xpand Reality,” an AR-based app for investor education. FINRA also recently proposed allowing its members to remotely satisfy their internal office inspection obligations without an on-site visit.  For their own part, FINRA and SEC staff largely remain in work-from-home status (although this may change with a post-summer return to “normal”).
Our guess is that it is only a matter of time before regulators utilize elements of AR, VR, and the metaverse to conduct remote exams — but that is likely several years away. What is more likely in the near-term is that many financial industry firms will develop a metapresence in search of increased efficiency and greater engagement with customers and personnel. When this happens, regulatory exams, whether in-person or remote, will encompass firms’ virtual footprints. Regulators will likely apply existing regulatory guidance and frameworks early on, but may eventually develop new rules and expectations over time to align with the advancement of technology.  
Firms can and should be “thinking in 3D” (more on that below) early and often so they and their personnel are prepared for that virtual knock on the door.
