HSBC joins list of companies in Web3 and The Sandbox Metaverse
As consumer acceptance requires more powerful metaverse experiences through decentralized and gamified products, the partnership opens the door for additional worldwide institutions to continue experimenting in Web3.
Users can engage with virtual worlds in the metaverse, and many of these platforms are built on blockchain technology. The worldwide metaverse market is expected to increase from $45.4 billion in 2019 to $1.5 trillion by 2030.
Gucci, Warner Music Group, Ubisoft, The Walking Dead, Snoop Dogg, Adidas, Deadmau5, Steve Aoki, Richie Hawtin, The Smurfs, Care Bears, Atari, ZEPETO, and CryptoKitties are among the more than 200 existing partnerships, all of which share The Sandbox’s vision of empowering players to create their own experiences using both original and well-known characters and worlds.
More details on the HSBC and The Sandbox partnership will be released by the companies in due time.
At the time of publication, The Sandbox (SAND) was trading at $2.94.
