The latest buzzword: the Metaverse.

Since Facebook rebranded as Meta in late October 2021, you hear about "the Metaverse" everywhere. Beginning 2022, JP Morgan launched a lounge in the metaverse and announced to industrialize Game Platform Providers with the Bank-Grade Platforms and Digital Asset Platform Access. 

However, how many of you actually know what the Metaverse is? Is it just another marketing gimmick for certain big corporations? Or is it going to be the next big thing in human history? 

So... What is the Metaverse exactly? What are the technologies behind it? What are the potentials? What does this mean for financial services? 

As more people spend time online, digital third spaces are becoming the new hangouts, making this a thriving environment for brands and influencers. But the potential of the metaverse goes beyond the digital domain, allowing for interactions that blur the boundaries of physical and digital.

This Masterclass explores what the metaverse is, how it’s changing people’s lives, new opportunities that are being created, and why financial services need to pay attention.
