The metaverse is an increasingly popular concept in technology and already has applications in many areas, including games, entertainment, education, business, and more. Its growing popularity has attracted many investors, who see the potential for financial returns in companies that are developing technologies and platforms in this area. The Virtual and Augmented Reality sector has been one of the main beneficiaries, with several companies receiving large investments to develop metaverse technologies and applications.
Following the movement, the capital market is also beginning to explore the metaverse. According to some studies and expert opinions, regarding the capital market situation in the metaverse, the platform blockchain, which stores transaction data in batches, is secure, but companies in general are still preparing with investments and infrastructure for continuous activities in the virtual environment.
According to the lawyer Ana Paula Marques dos Reis, partner of the BMA and VP of Comec - Capital Market Commission, of Abrasca, The Metaverse is now available for companies to carry out AGOs and AGEs with the shareholder base. “We believe that the Metaverse meets all the minimum requirements required by CVM Resolution No. 81/2022 to be considered an electronic voting system, which can be used by companies to hold their general meetings,” she said. In addition, Ana Paula affirms that the meetings can be held in a hybrid manner. Thus, the metaverse qualifies as an additional and alternative way to hold meetings.
The CEO of IBRI, Rodrigo Maia, also reinforces his opinion when he says that “the metaverse is highly operational, which guarantees the origin of the vote for the company at a meeting. In face-to-face mode, even the participant presenting their ID, there is a risk of fraud”. For Rodrigo, the platform blockchain it is secure and improves efficiency, providing the emergence of decentralized finance.
Apparently, since the metaverse is an expanding technology, its relationship with the capital market is still in its infancy. However, regulations are maturing rapidly and according to the Citibank report, released in 2002, by the end of this decade (2030) the Metaverse is expected to have a market value between US$ 8 trillion and US$ 13 trillion.
