Title: „Crypto and the Metaverse: What Europe Needs to Do to Capture the Digital Future“
Two years ago, crypto and the Metaverse were seen as closely linked. Today, the Metaverse is beyond the hype cycle and facing a reality check, while crypto is experiencing another bull run. Blockchain-enabled solutions remain, though, a key element of the Metaverse. As Europeans, we must not only leverage technologies built in the US, China, and other regions but actively innovate, build, and contribute to our digital future. This needs an environment for innovation through talent development, capital access, integrated digital markets, and regulatory aspects. Let’s examine Europe’s challenges and opportunities, and what we need to change to avoid falling further behind and secure our share of the digital future.
