HSBC’s Application Includes
And the application includes many details about metaverse-related products and services, such as providing secure payments transactions via electronic means in the metaverse, facilitating banking services in the metaverse, and arranging the processing of virtual credit cards, virtual debit cards, virtual prepaid cards, and virtual payment card transactions in the metaverse. HSBC has provided a number of NFT services, such as downloading digital files authenticated by non-fungible tokens.
In March, HSBC entered the metaverse by partnering with the virtual game platform The Sandbox, and in Sept, HSBC Group CEO Noel Quinn declared that cryptocurrency is not in the bank’s future. A significant number of big corporations and financial institutions have submitted trademark applications for a variety of digital currency and metaverse products and services.
In October, for example, major corporations including Visa, Paypal, and Western Union filed crypto-related trademark applications. And, on Dec 21, Fidelity filed three trademark applications covering NFT, NFT marketplace, Metaverse Investment services, virtual real estate investing, and cryptocurrency trading. JPMorgan Chase was also given a wallet trademark covering a variety of virtual currency and payment services last month.
