Despite the depth of the bear market, brands plan to build on the metaverse and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Here is a compilation of recent developments in the sector.
November 2022 will be remembered as the worst month’s in an extreme bear market. The collapse of FTX, which was once one of the largest crypto exchanges in the world, set a domino effect on the entire market.
November, the Beginning of NFT Bull Run?
The collapse in the cryptocurrency market did not extend to the NFT and metaverse market. Despite the adverse market sentiments, the volume of the top 5 NFT collections spiked. Bored Yacht Club recorded the highest sales in the last six months. And the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) registered 24 trademarks for NFTs and related services.
Consequently, the community anticipates that it is the beginning of the NFT bull run

South Korean firm Daesung Private Equity has allocated a budget of nearly $83.5 million for its metaverse fund. While there was interest from brands and investors in the metaverse segment, Facebook, a company that rebranded itself to Meta last year, laid off 11,000 employees
With Meta earnings down by more than 24% since the rebranding, the company had to implement strict cost-cutting measures.
