JPMorgan emerges as the first financial institution to enter the metaverse
JPMorgan, the world’s largest bank, has become the first financial institution to enter the metaverse.
Customers will be able to visit the bank’s Onyx lounge in the blockchain-based virtual world decentraland.
The Onyx Lounge offers Ethereum-based services to JPMorgan customers, which are all detailed in a recently published report.
The bank has issued reports on the mainstream economy’s acceptance of cryptocurrencies.
According to the report, ‘the metaverse is expected to infiltrate every sector in some way over the next few years, with a market opportunity estimated to be worth more than $1 trillion in annual revenues.’
The bank’s report informs customers about the metaverse while avoiding the unnecessary “noise” that comes with new technology.
Christine Moy, JPMorgan’s head of crypto and the metaverse, says the bank’s venture is a direct response to growing customer interest in the metaverse, which she says is driving the bank’s decision.
Moy believes that the internet has tremendous potential for improving the lives of customers.
JPMorgan Chase is now known as the world’s first bank to enter the metaverse.
Furthermore, corporations like McDonald’s, Tencent, and Huawei have been aggressive in their applications for metaverse trademarks.
According to JPMorgan Chase, most businesses in the physical world will be available in the metaverse in the future.
Last October, Facebook announced that it would change its name to Meta to reflect its increased emphasis on the virtual world, where users will be able to work and socialize.
JP Morgan has stated that it intends to “play a significant role in the metaverse,” and that it may be able to help address issues in the virtual world that are currently dealt with in the real world, such as account validation and fraud prevention.
