BBA Alumni Association: Fintech Series
During the century, we have observed and experienced a lot of changes in technology. In recent years, the concept of Fintech is evolving. It is not only a topic to discuss, but happens in our daily life.At the same time, Metaverse has become an emerging hot topic in technology. Metaverse means a future iteration of the internet, made up of persistent, shared, 3D virtual spaces linked into a perceived virtual universe. If Metaverse is a “world”, there would be a unique economic and financial system. Who would become the “Central Bank” of Metaverse? What would be the currency to use? How shall different Metaverses connect to each other?
Technology is ever-changing, so is Metaverse. All the above questions are opened-ended at this stage. Yet it is time for us to understand and explore more about it.
