Dani Brinker is head of investment portfolios at eToro. He stated that diversification is important when evaluating emerging industries. As the metaverse industry grows, he suggested that investors could benefit from a central portfolio in order to lower the barrier of entry. Brinker explained:

According to Bloomberg’s analytics, the metaverse could become an $800 billion market by 2024. The company said that it is putting a majority of its resources into developing assets that will be used to support investors’ interests in these projects. So far, these resources have gone towards listing The Sandbox (SAND) as an asset on the platform as well as plans for future land purchases.
Tomer Niv, the director of Global Crypto Solutions at eToro, said:
“eToro is a crypto pioneer with an established track record of embracing new technologies for the benefit of retail investors. We are excited by the opportunities offered by the metaverse.”
