In the next 3-5 years, estimations of the metaverse’s market worth vary from $250 to $800 billion USD, depending on its many aspects. Organizations still have an opportunity to get ahead of the wave before it crests, thanks to such huge potential and a set of ready and enthusiastic test subjects as the Metazens.
