McDonald’s will soon come to the metaverse

Since Mark Zuckerberg made the metaverse the group’s new Facebook priority, changing the name to Meta for the occasion, all the major brands have been looking to invest in this new virtual El Dorado.

In 2022 alone, we could mention Disney, Walmart, Warner Music, Carrefour, Samsung or Gucci. And this trend is unlikely to weaken: on February 4, McDonald’s registered with several trademarks to open a restaurant in the metaverse.

This discovery is due to Josh Gerben, a specialized attorney whose firm monitors new trademark filings on a daily basis. Yesterday, he shared a tweet reporting on ten requests filed by the popular fast-food chain.

We can immediately assume that in the future, we can order McDo in the metaverse before sending his burgers and fries to the real world.

McDonald’s plans for the metaverse don’t stop there. The mark clearly shows its purpose is to offer virtual food and drink, particularly aimed at issuing non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

McDonald’s wasn’t on its first try

For ecosystem observers, this mcdonalds metaverse entry is not surprising. Last year, McDonald’s France distributed free non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as part of a contest.

And over the past few months, the brand has been in constant contact with cryptocurrency enthusiasts. We can quote in particular his tweet was somewhat sarcastic sent at the end of January, when the market hit its lowest point since the summer of 2021.

Now the fast food giant is ready to raise an issue by investing in the metaverse. Between Sandbox (SAND) and Decentraland (MANA), We are now wondering what virtual world the brand wants to invest in as a priority.
