According to Statista, the "potential metaverse market opportunity ranges from 3.75 trillion U.S. dollars to 12.46 trillion U.S. dollars, depending on the share of the digital economy that shifts to the metaverse and market expansion."  

However, recent market trends doesnt reflect this amazing opportunity. In fact, on the contrary, since January 2022, metaverse crypto projects from Star Atlas to Axie Infinity are amongst the worse performing tokens. Could the experts be wrong? Or is this an amazing opportunity to buy?
