The public remained nonetheless suspicious about the digital reality concept, with 77% saying they would rather have a decentralized platform like Meta develop a metaverse instead of Meta itself. A recent trademark application was just one more indication of the firm’s resolve to expand. On May 13th, Meta submitted a total of five new trademark applications to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, one of which was for a cryptocurrency payment platform.
