Diving deeper into some of the biggest updates from Futureverse.
💫What’s happening: Futureverse acquired Candy Digital, an NFT company that has created digital collectibles for the MLB, DC Comics, WWE and more.
💫Why it matters: This acquisition by Futureverse looks to expand the capabilities of the open metaverse by integrating Candy Digital’s IP portfolio. Candy Digital has previously partnered with well-known mainstream brands to connect fans with their favorite brands through loyalty programs and onchain experiences.
Futureverse plans to create something similar, but for the open metaverse. So this acquisition aligns with both companies’ broader goals. Together, it can combine Futureverse’s AI-driven open metaverse infrastructure with Candy’s established IP connections. In turn, it could create an ecosystem that allows brands and fans to engage in immersive, interoperable digital environments.
Additionally, Futureverse looks to provide greater IP protection for companies within Candy’s portfolio by integrating blockchain technology and security. Futureverse already has created AI tools like Jen that use licensed music to create AI-generated music that doesn’t impede on artist ownership. By applying similar strategies for Candy, brands could create personalized, interactive experiences for its fans.
💫 The bigger picture: This collaboration allows fans to co-create assets by utilizing IP within the open metaverse. By integrating Candy’s collectibles into interoperable platforms, fans can own, trade and incorporate these assets into games or experiences.
This acquisition could signal a shift toward an open metaverse where IP is simultaneously consumed and iterated on by its users, creators and community. In turn, this can connect brands like MLB and DC Comics to their fans in a more immersive, digital way.
