New York’s key commercial point, entertainment spot, and tourist destination already has previous experience with Web3-based projects.
In June, Time partnered with The Sandbox to launch “Time Square” in the metaverse. Through the initiative, architects were given opportunities to design TIME Square and convert it into a virtual place to organize events, educational programs, and TIME Studios productions’ screenings.
Two days earlier, i.e., on December 20, American luxury jeweler and Swiss watchmaker, Harry Winston, also filed a trademark application with interest in both NFTs and the metaverse.
