The head of the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange Jesse Powell predicted the creation of many meta-universes in the future at the Crypto Goes Mainstream event.
“I don't think there will be any one metaverse,” he said. Powell said no one would have a monopoly on such development. He called the multiplayer RPG World of Warcraft, the non-fungible token (NFT) project Axie Infinity, and Facebook separate metauniverses.
The CEO of Kraken noted that in the future, such platforms are going to allow for the transfer of in-game items between competitors. Users will have a common property for different metauniverses.

“They will support blockchain assets with a certain representation in their world, and they will have different roles,” he explained.
Powell added that Kraken will launch its own NFT platform by the end of 2021 or early 2022. He also marveled at the boom in non-fungible tokens this year.
“Growing up over the past 20 years, children are familiar with the idea of a digital store of valuables, virtual clothing, and equipment for a virtual avatar,” said the head of Kraken.

According to him, all platforms are going to have to compete for users, both already interested in NFT and newcomers to the industry.
