Major brands jump into the metaverse bandwagon
Hyundai is not the first automobile company to venture into the NFT world. It joined other renowned car manufacturers like Mercedes Benz in April. However, Hyundai took a step further to create a community collection that sets it apart from its competitors.
Other prominent brands like Chevron, a huge energy giant, also dived into the metaverse world offering a wide selection of virtual goods like gas, fuel, and renewable energy products. It’s worth noting that since October, jobs related to metaverse have increased by about 380%.
However, the metaverse industry might be heading for an identity crisis after Vitalik Buterin, one of the Ethereum co-founders and programmer, stated that there is no clear definition of the metaverse and no exact technology associated with it.
