In October 2021, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the social media giant’s corporate name will change to “Meta.” After the reveal of the Metaverse and the company’s plans to push this forward, they want to officially change their Nasdaq stock ticker symbol from FB to META in June 2022.

Going Full Metaverse

According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the change will take place before trades are open on that day.

The rebranding may be a signal that Facebook wants to get into the metaverse. Despite harsh criticism and a declining stock price, the firm is changing its stock ticker to depict its goals.

Facebook announced its intent to convert to MVRS from the old ticker of FB. On December 1, 2021, in accordance with prior plans, FB was supposed to convert to MVR. However, this transition was delayed.

A lot of experts in the IT sector believe that blockchain technology will serve as the next generation of the internet. 

It’s expected to be a more immersive experience in which people use avatars to interact with the virtual environment. Perhaps it will also include the ability to utilize NFTs on a wide range of internet sites.

The current plan is for the Nasdaq ticker to be META, but it’s unclear what will happen in the future. It seems that Facebook is banking on the Metaverse being a major part of our lives in the years to come.

Facebook into the Future

In October, Mark Zuckerberg gave a lengthy video presentation in which he was depicted as a cartoonish version of himself to illustrate how the company’s virtual reality headset, Meta Quest 2, would function. The event included online concerts, social interactions, games, and real-time work.

While the presentation made a grandiose promise for a new stage of the firm’s operation that would take many years to build, several investors were concerned about the number of resources required and if people would actually use them.

FB in the Bear Market

Last October, Facebook rebranded as Meta, and now Meta wants to change its Nasdaq ticker to META on June 9.

According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the change will take place before trade is open on that day. This is according to a document given to the SEC.

The rebranding is a sign that Facebook wants to get into the metaverse. Despite harsh criticism and a declining stock price, the firm is changing its stock ticker to depict its goals.

Plans to change Nasdaq ticker to META

On August 26, 2019, Facebook announced its intent to convert to MVR from the old ticker of FB. On December 1, 2021, in accordance with prior plans, FB was supposed to convert to MVR. However, this transition was delayed.

According to reports, Roundhill Investments had planned the Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF and dubbed it META. It originally said it would convert to METV in January.

A lot of experts in the IT sector believe that a future version of the internet will be based on blockchain technology.

It’s expected to be a more immersive experience in which people use avatars to interact, buy, work, and play. Perhaps it will also include the ability to utilize NFTs on a wide range of internet sites.

Last October, Facebook co-founder, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave a long video presentation in which he toured a number of public locations as a cartoonish version of himself. The demonstration included online events (such as concerts), games, work situations, and the company’s Meta Quest 2 virtual reality headgear.

While the presentation made a grandiose promise for a new stage of the firm’s operation that would take many years to build, several investors were concerned about the amount of resources required and if people would actually use them.

Stock price declined

Following the earnings announcement in Q1 2022, Meta’s stock price plummeted significantly, most notably following a Q4 2021 earnings shortfall in February.

The stock is currently valued at about $192 per share, down from roughly $317 per share before it became known as Meta.

However, nobody has not yet confirmed if Meta intends to utilize blockchain technology, in conjunction with cryptocurrencies and interoperable NFT assets, to pursue its metaverse goals.
