Metaverse already needs competition scrutiny, says EU antitrust chief
The Metaverse could be next in EU competition regulators' crosshairs, said antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager on Thursday — with concerns about Meta's dominance at the top of the docket. It's already time for us to start asking what healthy competition would look like in the metaverse.
Vestager noted that there is already a political debate about the attention paid to digital markets, with all jurisdictions moving forward at different speeds. "We will not get the same legal framework," she said, adding: "And maybe that is not a bad thing. Because that will allow us to hone our toolkits in the process of mutual learning.". Meta, formerly Facebook, has made an audacious play to grab market share in this emerging tech area, putting billions on the line to develop hardware and software.

🔫 ‘Digital twin’ tech is twice as great as the metaverse
Facebook went all in on the “metaverse” a year and a half ago. The company changed its name to Meta and started pumping a billion dollars a month into a Hail Maryboondoggle to achieve relevance in the post-social world to come. Now Meta finds itself entering a “metaverse winter”. The metaverse isn’t a set of technologies; it’s a vision about future human culture. It’s about what product companies and the public might do with a set of technologies — mainly live and work in virtual spaces and play in virtual worlds. Apple has been developing what it calls “extended reality” hardware for two decades, and is now expected to roll out its first goggles later this year. The glasses will be virtual reality (VR) capable, but Apple will emphasize augmented reality (AR).

🖼 Coinbase ‘Iterating Quickly’ on NFT Marketplace Despite Lackluster Rollout: Protocols Head
oinbase, the decade-old publicly traded crypto company, product innovation may not be the first thing that comes to mind. At ETH Denver, however, Coinbase head of protocols Jesse Pollak says the company aims to change that. Coinbase—the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States—launched Base. In January, Coinbase added new features to its Coinbase Wallet, including transaction previews, token approval alerts, a blocklist of flagged dApps, and a spam token manager that automatically hides malicious airdrops. In April 2022, Coinbase launched an NFT marketplace that did not catch on as strongly as the company had hoped. The first version of the product didn’t work as well as well as we’d like to,” Pollak said. “But we’ve been iterating quickly on that over the last year, and I think we’re seeing a lot more signs of life and a lot more growth there.
