Swissquote adds “Metaverse” certificate to themes trading
Leading Swiss online trading firm Swissquote has further expanded its Themes Trading offering via the addition of Metaverse Certificate.
The Swissquote Metaverse Certificate invests in companies that are expected to benefit from the metaverse, including but not limited to, companies creating virtual worlds, developing hardware to access the metaverse or enabling digital payments.
‘Metaverse’ has become a buzzword before most of us understand what it actually means. Simply put, it’s a multi-dimensional version of the internet.
The idea of a digital universe is not new, Swissquote explains, but this is the first time it is being recognised by the tech and data giants as an inevitable next step in advancing as a society. After the pandemic gave a huge boost to the digital goods economy and platforms already offering augmented and virtual reality products, companies recognised the sector’s potential and started working around the clock to stake their claim in the metaverse.
According to Swissquote, Facebook rebranding to Meta in an attempt to own the space – a move that confirms we’re not getting off the ride anytime soon.
Swissquote says that, as the metaverse expands, it will be a game changer for those advocating for Work from Home to remain, after the COVID-19 pandemic disproved the correlation between standard office hours and effective performance of employees. The proposed solutions of the metaverse promise a world beyond Zoom calls and telepresence robots.
Themes Trading is Swissquote’s collection of thematic portfolios, which allow traders not to buy individual stocks but assortments of stocks. Investors opting for this thematic investment are looking at what lies ahead and can therefore position their portfolio for faster growth and higher returns.
Swissquote introduced Themes Trading in September 2015. Back then, the service offered an initial set of 30 diverse themes, including global electric, cyber security, Greek recovery and fitness trends. The service offers investors to find opportunities in thematic investing, coupled with the highest possible transparency.
Swissquote has been regularly expanding its themes trading lineup. In September, for instance, the company launched Blockchain 2.0 theme which focuses on proactive adopters of this technology and established companies that gravitate around the blockchain economy.
