The metaverse has the potential to eclipse the internet. A “place” where real life, and virtual reality are blended into one.

At its core, the metaverse seeks to accomplish much of what the internet already does, but would include avatars that can interact and move within the space. More than that, it would have an economy unto itself.

A lot of large companies are betting on this, with their own entries into the metaverse. In fact, Bloomberg estimates the market size for the metaverse could reach $800 billion by 2024.

We’ve gathered five of the largest companies that investors can get behind while the metaverse is built out.
