DeFi vs. CeFi #4 - Metaverse

In our anniversary episode PayTechTalk #80 (!) our host Alireza talks again with Gökhan Nazenin and Henri de Jong. This time, our three speakers talk about the metaverse. They compare different use cases in the metaverse and analyse to what extent the metaverse is subject to a jurisdiction or a supervisory framework. They compare retail and corporate use cases and discuss in an outlook where the metaverse could develop.

Enjoy listening!
