The Metaverse is being traded as a candidate for the next big hype topic. A crypto fund is also convinced of the future of the metaverse. What does the founder think about crypto and the gaming industry?
Not only NFT and DeFi are currently real hype topics in the crypto space. Because the Metaverse is also being traded as a hot candidate for the next big thing. The crypto fund “OP Crypto Capital Management” is also convinced of the future of the Metaverse. Because his fund plans to invest 25 million US dollars in such projects, among other things. On the fund’s website called it:
In the years to come, we expect developers and investors to tend to build all future technologies on top of the blockchain and lay the foundation for a truly decentralized world. OP Crypto will focus on promoting these developers and projects. And play an essential role in bridging the gap between CeFi, DeFi and the Metaverse.
The fund also states that one goal is to support revolutionary founders with their ideas. To help you and to create new business models around crypto and blockchain. OP Crypto wants to provide these founders with tools and specialist knowledge with which they can implement their visions.
Does the future of crypto lie in gaming?
As the portal The Block Crypto reports, the founder of the crypto fund David Gan says: “Gaming will bring the first 100 million users into the crypto ecosystem. The metaverse, social tokens and virtual reality will bring the next billions ”. And he could be right about that. Because games based on the blockchain are already a real beacon for new participants in the crypto ecosystem. An example of this is the record-breaking blockchain game “Axie Infinity”. Because as BTC-ECHO reported, people in the Philippines already earn their living by playing.
On the company’s website it says on the subject of Metaverse:
Blockchain-based virtual worlds where markets for lands, buildings, avatars and even names can be bought and sold as NFTs are fast becoming the next hype for games.
According to a study published in 2020, 40 percent of all people worldwide play video games. That’s over 3 billion people. If blockchain technology succeeds in gaining a foothold in the traditional games industry, the resulting potential would be huge. It is quite possible that concepts such as “play-to-earn”, as with Axie Infinity, or the metaverse, will prevail. And other computer game manufacturers will also use the blockchain. And then David Gan’s crypto fund may well meet the ravages of time.
