Citibank released a new report on Thursday, titled “The Metaverse and Money: Deciphering the Future,” which predicts that the total market for the metaverse economy could grow to between $8 trillion and $13 trillion by 2030, and It is estimated that the number of Metaverse users could be as high as 5 billion.
Citi said: “We believe the metaverse could be the next generation of the internet, combining the physical and digital worlds in a persistent and immersive way, rather than a pure virtual reality world.”
In addition, the report states that the future metaverse will contain more digitally native tokens, but will also embed traditional forms of money, which can exist in different forms, namely in-game tokens, stablecoins, central banks Digital Currency (CBDC) and Cryptocurrencies.
