MetaVersusWorld, a web3 hyper-realistic and interactive, persistent virtual multiverse, announces the successful completion of US $2 million seed funding round which started earlier this year. The round saw participation from venture capital firms Alphabit Digital Currency Fund, Xeta Capital, Launchpool, Westridge Markets, NetZero Capital, XSquared Ventures, GBIC, Alpha Sigma Capital, and FBG Capital.

A portion of the funds have already been deployed in the Unreal Engine 5 development of the closed alpha product launch on Steam, set to take place in Q4 2022. Initially, the closed alpha gameplay will be available to alpha-testers, partners, and backers, with plans to open it to the public in the near future. The project has recently successfully integrated with Ready Player Me, the avatar platform for the metaverse that allows users to explore virtual worlds with one consistent identity.

The web3 technology and metaverse gaming company is looking to raise an additional US $3 million to further expand its platform and product suite, with a web3 IP marketplace for brands, additional virtual world offerings, and a more aggressive business development and marketing strategy.

MetaVersusWorld prides itself on offering a complete platform built for brands and their digital consumers, which benefits from hyper-realistic, virtual commerce, and social interactive experiences, powered by a circular economy. Brands can experiment entering the web3 scene via the company's Metaverse-as-a-Service offerings fit to serve every need, while digital consumers can play and explore loyalty programs and entertainment guarded by privacy by default in three open metaverse worlds (FashionVerse, WildWestCity, SkateVerse).

The team behind this counts over 20 full-time employees and collaborators, with backgrounds from PlayStation, Huawei, SaxoBank, NBA, Twitter, Upwork, ABC News, Garmin, and more.

Founded in 2021 on UnrealEngine 5, MetaVersusWorld is a Web3 technology and gaming company that builds hyper-realistic virtual worlds and experiences in the metaverse for brands and their consumers. A complete platform offering virtual commerce, gaming and an IP marketplace, the platform will be available as a downloadable client in Q4 2022 for early supporters, with plans to open it to the public in the near future.

  • U.S. Congressman Mike Flood: Looking forward to working with the next SEC Chairman to revoke the anti-crypto banking policy SAB 121

     US House of Representatives will investigate Representative Mike Flood's recent statement: "Despite widespread opposition, SAB 121 is still operating as a regulation, even though it has never gone through the normal Administrative Procedure Act process." Flood said, "I look forward to working with the next SEC chairman to revoke SAB 121. Whether Chairman Gary Gensler resigns on his own or President Trump fulfills his promise to dismiss Gensler, the new government has an excellent opportunity to usher in a new era after Gensler's departure." He added, "It's not surprising that Gensler opposed the digital asset regulatory framework passed by the House on a bipartisan basis earlier this year. 71 Democrats and House Republicans passed this common-sense framework together. Although the Democratic-led Senate rejected it, it represented a breakthrough moment for cryptocurrency and may provide information for the work of the unified Republican government when the next Congress begins in January next year."

  • Victory Securities: Funding Rates halved and fell, Bitcoin's short-term direction is not one-sided

  • ECB board member Villeroy: Falling inflation allows ECB to cut interest rates

     ECB board member Villeroy de Galhau said in an interview that the decline in inflation allows the ECB to lower interest rates. In addition, the slow pace of price increases compared to average wages is also a factor in the rate cut. Villeroy de Galhau emphasized that the ECB's interest rate policy decision is independent of the Fed. Evidence shows that the ECB began to lower interest rates in early June, while the Fed lowered interest rates three months later. With the decline in inflation, we will be able to continue to lower interest rates. Currently, the market generally expects the ECB to cut interest rates by 25 basis points at the next meeting in December, but weaker data increases the possibility of a 50 basis point cut.
