WALMART enters into Metaverse

The retail giant is looking to sell in the virtual world, provide its own currency and even allow customers the opportunity to buy and sell NFTs.

Three recent filings with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office indicate Walmart is getting deeper into the metaverse. It plans to create its own cryptocurrency and to offer digital versions of its products via NFTs. Does this signal broader consumer adoption of digital assets and virtual experiences? Meanwhile, new partnerships and fresh acquisitions suggest that old-school and new-school companies are getting ready to service more consumers.
