The Metaverse has been a buzz word that not many people can shake off. It has become a part of our furniture and our everyday lives in our real universe. According to the Onyx team at JP Morgan “the elements of a new digital age are converging at scale. The metaverse is the driving force bringing these elements together in a unified, immersive experience”

The metaverse is expected to be all things physical and digital – where humans live, work, play, relax, transact, socialise, and even bank. A phenomenon driven by the emergence of Web3 which has received significant attention in the last year or so from investors and industry titans and especially consumers.
