JPMorgan on Metaverse

 

Metaverse news

 

US-based banking giant JPMorgan hinted at its new focus on the metaverse, claiming that "when you think about the economics of the metaverse—or metanomics—there are opportunities in almost every market area" and it will also provide "a massive opportunity for business-to-business enterprises." Also, in their new report, the bank said that its "core competencies in cross-border payments, foreign exchange, financial assets creation, trading, and safekeeping, in addition to our at-scale consumer foothold, can play a major role in the metaverse."

I'm really liking the definition they've provided in their report:

 

Quote

What is the metaverse? The metaverse is a seamless convergence of our physical and digital lives, creating a unified, virtual community where we can work, play, relax, transact and socialize. The metaverse is still early in its evolution, and there is no singular, all-encompassing definition to which people can turn. Themes of what the metaverse is and could be, however, are emerging. A key point is that there is no one virtual world but many worlds, which are taking shape to enable people to deepen and extend social interactions digitally. This is done by adding an immersive, three-dimensional layer to the web, creating more authentic and natural experiences. The metaverse even has the promise of facilitating accessibility from the comfort of the home, breaking down boundaries and democratizing access to key goods, services and experiences.

I just hope it does not go the way of Ready Player One.

 

People happy to be boss on Metaverse but in real life they are eating McD in a van becuase they are no one.

 

Living an awesome virtual life is no substitute for real life .. just ask Japanase workers who live in a coffin shaped booth - and they don't care because after work they game.

 

They have no life outside of work and play.  No real person connection no family no house no vacations around the world to see the wonders of natural and human creativity.

 

It sounds so sad.

 

 

 

Anyway where do I put my money now to get profit from this ;)

Those are ALL very valid points of course. The reality portrayed in Ready Player One is a dystopia. No one in their sane mind would want that.

Fortunately, the Canadian Securities Laws on crypto are pretty progressive, way ahead of those in the south.

This whole metaverse thing to me screams of the Second Life hype from a while ago........ that turned into..... not much... everyone had to be in second life!

Not the same at all this time. It was just a game on one platform then. It's many games, Apps, businesses, platforms, companies and a multitude of devices this time.

in the end people will react the same... the concept of walking around and doing stuff in a 3d world with an avatar to most is kinda meh, some think its cool but most will take a look and then not use it in a while 

This JPMorgan Strategist Is Extremely Bearish on Crypto. Here's Why

 

David Kelly, JPMorgan Asset Management chief global strategist, has predicted that cryptocurrency market investors will face “massive losses” in an interview with Business Insider:

 

At some stage, I expect to see massive losses in crypto, because there is nothing there.

 

Kelly sees the U.S. Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest rate hikes as the main bearish catalyst for the cryptocurrency market. A hawkish Fed will put an end to the speculative mania that kicked into high gear in 2021, according to the analyst. He believes that the central bank could potentially catch investors off guard by hiking interest rates more decisively than anticipated.

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.
