Not everybody’s a fan of the metaverse, we get it. That doesn’t change the fact that metaverse stocks are one of the most predicted high-growth assets of the century. Even bankers agree, with Goldman Sachs forecasting that around 15-33% of digital transactions will eventually switch to the metaverse. Citigroup also predicts that the combined market value of metaverses will reach up to $13 trillion by 2030. Not that investors need convincing.
