Not just users but big corporations also want to be among the early adopters so that they can evolve with the space. Starting from registering the trademarks, companies are willing to accelerate their work in this field.

It should be noted that China has discussed the concept of the Metaverse in sets of political meetings in the last month. All this is an aftermath of the Chinese Intellectual Property Administration receiving 16,000 trademark applications in February mentioning the word Metaverse. A sudden surge of getting into the virtual world has led many governments to address the evolution.
