While Morgan Stanley argues that the Metaverso will be one of the most lucrative markets of the future, he also says it is still some time before we see wider adoption, especially with the technological and regulatory challenges that this would entail.

One of the world’s largest US-based investment banks, Morgan Stanley, projects that the market for the Metaverso could easily exceed USD $8 billion in the not too distant future.
According to Morgan Stanley, el Metaverso will be a revolutionary market an area or arena, online or offline, in which commercial dealings are conducted.
This is what the bank indicated in a note to investors published recently, where it made this projection and remained firm with the reading it made a few months ago about the benefits and opportunities that this new space will bring, launching the idea that it could be something so revolutionary as to replace the mobile Internet.
The note published by Morgan Stanley reads:
“The Metaverse a metaverse is a digital universe that contains all the aspects of the real world, such as real-time interactions and economies. It offers a unique experience to end-users. will become the next generation platform a place to buy, sell and store cryptocurrency to replace the mobile Internet… We expect the Metaverse (and its total addressable market) to be expansive and go beyond the current online consumer market, which is dominated primarily by e-commerce and online entertainment spending.”
The Morgan Stanley team’s statements are in line with what it said in November last year, when it said something similar in light of the interest shown by companies such as Facebook (now Meta) and Microsoft, noting that the Metaverse would be a “ next-generation gaming, streaming and social networking platform “which will initially operate as an advertising and e-commerce forum:
“Like current digital digital technologies are these electronic tools that have the ability to generate, store or even process data. platforms, we expect the metaverse to operate initially and primarily as an advertising and e-commerce platform for offline products / purchases.”
Adoption will take time
Although items such as virtual reality glasses and new platforms are bringing more and more people into the realm of virtual reality, it’s not always easy to get a better idea of what’s going on. Metaverso, For Morgan Stanley researchers, seeing wider adoption will be a process that will take a long a situation where you buy a cryptocurrency with the expectation of selling it at a higher price for profit later. time, precisely because these new technologies must overcome certain technological and regulatory barriers.
In that sense, the note reads:
“We already live in a digital world, spending more than six hours per day online, so mass adoption of the Metaverse will require a significantly better immersive experience compared to current mobile internet offerings.”
Continuing with this idea, Morgan Stanley cited China’s approach to limiting the time young people spend on electronic platforms as the main regulatory hurdle, precisely to prevent possible cases of addiction to these platforms and the risks associated with the theft of private information.
Although many still see this concept from an approach linked to entertainment, several companies have already expressed their intention to create branches and virtual offices in the Metaverso, in order to take work activities to the next level and further overcome the geographical barriers of having a team distributed in different countries around the world.
