Just now, I read an interesting perspective from Yat Siu on where this industry is truly heading. He said that what many people misunderstand is what the metaverse actually is. The metaverse is not just a place or a virtual platform we imagine, but more about an ecosystem where AI agents will operate and grow.

What makes his vision especially intriguing is the number he mentioned—100 billion AI agents in the future. It’s not just hype; if we think logically about blockchain and automation, that number actually makes sense. The metaverse is the infrastructure where trillions of economic interactions can take place between humans and AI.

According to him, our focus shouldn’t be solely on graphics or VR technology, but on ownership and a decentralized economy. This is where crypto and blockchain have a crucial role. Animoca has already positioned itself in this space through various investments in projects related to digital ownership and AI.

The most worth noting is that the metaverse is a natural evolution of the internet, not a separate revolution. It’s about how the digital economy will function when we have billions of AI entities that need ways to transact, enter contracts, and interact.

So if you’re still thinking of the metaverse as only about avatars and virtual real estate, maybe it’s time to change your perspective. Its future will be far more complex and exciting than that.
