What may appear to be the end of an era is actually the start of something new for Meta and that includes a change that the company feels is an integral step for its transition towards the Metaverse.
Today, the tech giant announced how it would be switching from the latest ‘FB’ moniker towards the ‘META’ on the global stock market, with the effect coming into play as early as June 9th.
The company made the announcement publicly where it confirmed how the Class A common shares would now begin trading under the renowned symbol of META, starting June 9th. And that means users can bid farewell to the FB symbol that many have been accustomed to seeing since 2012. This new sign is something that the company feels is better aligned with its rebranding that was made public last year in October.
Meta has stated previously how the new change does not require any form of action by the interested shareholders. Therefore, we’ll be seeing the company’s shares be listed in the same manner, with exception of the ticker update.
So what can we expect other than FB transforming as META, well, nothing really? This is being called out as the last modification for the transformation that will lead us into the Metaverse, as confirmed by the firm in its latest press release.
Meta says that after the launch of its app Facebook, the world changed forever as it dramatically altered the way people connect and look at things. Different apps from the company like Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp paved the way to empower billions of users across the globe.
Now, the company hopes to go above and beyond the classic 2D screens and engage in more explosive experiences such as the virtual reality that revolutionizes social technology. But despite the great reassurances being made by the company, many users are still seeing a fairly fuzzy concept in regards to the digital realms.
How exactly will digital purchases be shifted from one platform to the next or one space to the other? As a whole, we’re expecting to see a complete virtual world that is really the vision of Mark Zuckerberg. And he’s very keen and confident that things will be going his way, despite acknowledging how it will cost him billions of dollars to make the transition, even before we start to think of the ways through which it can pay off.
As the Meta CEO recently mentioned, he’s willing to go above and beyond the big shots, making sure the firms that invest in the platform get big returns, despite the huge responsibility attached to the idea.
If you ask us, we’re seeing plenty of risks attached to this mannerism of dealing. But the idea of a futuristic approach is appealing, especially for the younger generation that is growing up fast. And we just might have the pandemic to thank for this modern shift.
But we’re still not quite there yet. It seems we are right now stuck in the middle of the future and now- a middle ground that’s complete with uncertainty over what the metaverse really is all about.
Certainly, the company has provided its users with so many hints about what it can expect but in there somewhere, we’re all about transitioning into a new wave with a certain type of rush.
Meta does not wish to waste its resources because it’s yet to put in the major chunks that will build the platform into the mega entity that it is.
For now, we’re not quite there yet, when it comes down to accepting the hype and thrill of a futuristic domain. But we certainly give Meta full credit that by 2030, big things will be happening if things go according to plan.
