Warner Music, Ubisoft, the National Basketball Association, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Animoca Brands, Circle, Binance, OpenSea, and now Meta are notable ecosystem partners.

Meanwhile, iexclusivenews Nigeria reports that digital assets seem to have joined the metaverse as one of the fundamental elements for Meta’s growth.

 

The company’s sales declined by 1% to $28.8 billion in the second quarter of 2022, while operating income plummeted by 32% to $8.36 billion during the same time.

 

The company’s staggering $2.8 billion loss in its Metaverse segment, according to CEO Mark Zuckerberg, didn’t bother him because there was still a chance to generate “hundreds of billions” or perhaps “trillions” of dollars as the industry develops.
