HSBC Global Viewpoint: Banking and Markets
Exploring the potential of the Metaverse
•
In this podcast we explore the Metaverse: What is it and what opportunities does it bring? Listen as Sebastien Borget from The Sandbox and HSBC’s Rajeev Tummala discuss how the Metaverse might change our economy, including how people transact, work and play. Find out how the Metaverse could lead to a more equitable society and how it might change the way creators are compensated for the things they produce.
Sebastien is the co-founder and COO of The Sandbox, a virtual world where players can create, play, own, govern and monetize their experiences using NFTs and sand, the main utility token of the platform. Sebastien also became president of the Blockchain Game Alliances in 2020, a non-profit organization of 300 key members of the industry.
Rajeev leads the digital data and innovation team for Securities Services in Singapore, and is also the interim head for HSBC securities services in ASEAN. He works on product strategy and implementation with a special focus on digital assets and the implications of distributed ledger technology for securities issuance and associated asset servicing.
