The New York Stock Exchange lands in the metaverse
In a February 15 tweet, trademarks attorney Michael Kondoudis revealed that the NYSE had filed an application on February 10 and that the stock market is making its way to the metaverse. According to Kondoudis, “the Metaverse is real and companies need to plan accordingly. Businesses no longer need to wonder if it will happen. It's just a question of when. The NYSE is taking a proactive and forward-looking approach to ensure that it is the leading financial exchange in the Metaverse ".

In addition, also this month, fast-food giant McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) filed twelve brands on February 4 with references to virtual restaurants, symbols, cafes and other virtual services. The metaverse is a concept that initially gained popularity among technology companies for referring to an online virtual environment focused on social interaction.
However, as Kondoudis pointed out, companies outside of technology are increasingly preparing for the transition to a virtual market by implementing a proactive and forward-thinking strategy and laying the foundation for that transformation.
