Virtual world has always amazed people through movies and fiction comics. The fun factor which amazes everyone is how it correlates both the virtual and real life world into one creating a new space and identity for people.

 

Metaverse is being looked at as an alternative for the internet as it can take you anywhere just by putting on your headsets or (VR are the ones we are talking about!).

 

At its base, metaverse functions exactly like the internet, providing up with information and data we scroll and search about daily ( either google or social, an all in one package); but it comes with an interesting part; you can participate and move through this digital space ( the virtual reality thing we used to talk as kids)

 

With so much potential in the metaverse, a lot of companies have taken up a big interest in participating and creating their own metaverse space. Virtual concerts, digital payments(NFTs) can be just said as the dawn of this digital universe. Infact, metaverse is such a hot topic today, facebook; the social media giant changed their company name to Meta.

Top Metaverse Stocks to Buy

 

1. META( STOCK ; MVRS)

 

No one can guess the market better than facebook, right? They have access to everything today and nearly everyone uses one of their platforms ( who doesn’t have a facebook account or does not use whatsapp?). 

 

With facebook planning to change their platform into a complete virtual place with people interacting with each other using headsets ( that’s what the Oculus VR was meant for, now we can stop the questions); facebook plans to change the idea of texting or meeting new people.

 

The live shows today being played are soon going to be the ones you can experience by wearing your virtual headsets. 

 

 "Today we are seen as a social media company, but in our DNA we are a company that builds technology to connect people, and the metaverse is the next frontier just like social networking was when we got started”, during a media event. With everyone using facebook and instagram as a social interacting platform, Meta is for sure going to play a large role in the metaverse.- CEO, META 

 

 

2. NVIDIA ( STOCK : NVDA)

 

 

For the metaverse to be realistic and as fast paced as we interact today; there is going to be a large demand for semiconductors and memory graphics cards , that too in the long run. AI needs fast processing chips, and no one does better than NVIDIA here.

 

NVIDIA wins the market of the metaverse by providing architecture to it. Today, NVIDIA chips are used by cloud farm servers and other computers to run calculations. Even NVIDIA has a huge part in the gaming world, which requires top quality hardware, and metaverse requires exactly the same sort of hardware to function. 

 

With such a huge part in the market; NVIDIA ends up as a winner in the metaverse revolution( we can say revolution, sure).

 

3. Autodesk (ADSK)

 

This company has so much familiarity that everyone in the construction business must have interacted once with their products. 

 

AUTOCAD software was released in the mid 80s and it helps engineers, architects, designers, scientists to design projects, buildings, products ( literally every product has an AUTOCAD design, did you know this?) to create a digital copy of how it should look(either 2D or 3D).

 

 It has been the standard software for decades and is even taught to students.

 

Autodesk, looked into the metaverse world seriously, and their engineers have started presenting designs using augmented reality with VR headsets ( how cool it would be to see your dream-home virtually even before a stone gets laid!). 

 

With so much to improve and explore, Autodesk comes as a good choice for investment in the long run.

 

 

4. Unity Software (U)

 

If you play games, you surely know about unity software’s gaming division, right?. More than half of the top games and their designers use Unity platform to design the gaming world (across all streaming platforms;i.e, PC, mobile, Console devices)

 

With everything to change, the gaming world also adapts itself to the metaverse; where you can play the missions yourself ( drive cars and roam around the maps, would love to be a kid in this era, right?).

 

Unity has already designed the framework for the metaverse , giving developers tools to build and creating anything to communicate.

 

With this expansion in the company, U can be taken as a top-shot investment for the market.

5. MICROSOFT ( MSFT)

 

Microsoft has come a long way from being an operating system provider to a computing giant today. Microsoft suites and packages (teams app, business suites etc) are the basic platforms one can think about when taking the productivity department. 

 

Our work-from-home environment contains a big part of Microsoft in our lives. 

 

The Microsoft team recently announced it’s interest in metaverse by giving us a map on how theft plans to change video meetings and our presentations work. 

 

This includes enabling users to create virtual workspaces, meeting halls and environments. This is exactly what facebook (we’ll call this meta properly, someday) plans to do but microsoft has a huge market portion of business software packages so it takes it’s shares there. 

 

Even the gaming part (Xbox) is planning the same thing as unity is about to do, but since Xbox has their own market share in the gaming world so it plans to take the metaverse part too.

 

With so many hands in the market, Microsoft is sure to provide you with good returns in the metaverse market.

 

 

6. ZOOM

 

Zoom came into focus when the pandemic took place and has stayed since then. Zoom provides video conferencing and captures a good part of this market . 

 

With the metaverse in play,  Zoom also plans to take it’s share here with virtual meetings and video calls with your family and friends; where you can virtually sit with them.

 

With their recent partnership with oculus, zoom has taken steps to make sure the virtual world is a happening thing not far away!

 

Although this might be still far away in time, but for sure Zoom can be taken as a good investment

 

 

7. AMAZON ( AMZN)

 

Everyone must be thinking till now how come we have not mentioned amazon, right? These guys have their hands on everything they see and amazon is focusing very hard on expanding their ecosystem. 

 

Amazon plans to create a Virtual Mall ( this would sound crazy if we said this even 2 years back) with users entering the world when they wear their headsets and can shop (amazon), watch movies( amazon prime videos) virtually, minus the walking part that we generally do in a mall or a super store.

 

 Amazon even plans later to bring their web services (AWS) to this metaverse infrastructure, providing businesses and clients with virtual workspaces.

Conclusion

 

The best thing that metaverse provides is that it is going to be a decentralized place; with everyone having their own space and users can develop or trade anything without bringing the main system into account ( to transfer money you need banks, for NFT you do not).

 

We are at the dawn of a new era where everything we have been using is about to dramatically change and a lot of money is going to flood (actually it has already begun) space. So be sure to look out for and invest at the right time to make the most of it.
