A Vietnamese billionaire has invested in a company which says its virtual world will create millions of jobs.
MetaWorld Blockchain, based in Switzerland, has been backed with $30 million from Mai Vu Minh, according to a press release.
“Meta World (METAD) will create millions of jobs for developers and creators and be one of the most advanced digital infrastructures in the world,” said the billionaire, the executive chairman of the SAPA Thale group.
The virtual ecosystem will be developed in six areas – smart contracts, financial services, play-to-earn games, supply chain, healthcare and cryptocurrencies – to serve the ecosystem and partners of METAD worldwide, according to its CEO Michael Sam.
SAPA Thale is aiming for ‘a large digital economy’ that will open up inside the virtual universe – currently under construction – with users able to sell both physical and digital products.
“Using blockchain can bring unprecedented security, trust, automation and efficiency to almost any type of transaction,” said Minh.
