Startups will have access to proprietary technologies provided by Meta AI, they will also be given commercial support by both Meta and Telefonica.

This is not the first foray into Web3 for either Meta or Telefonica, Meta was the parent company of the Diem project that at one time planned to develop its own cryptocurrency. Telefonica, meanwhile, invested in a Spanish exchange last year and revealed that it enabled crypto purchases.

The majority of trade volume across GMN trading pairs has taken place on KuCoin, Gate and Uniswap. It has a market capitalization of $29 million and reached an all-time high of $0.0106 in April 2022, according to CoinMarketCap.

The $125 billion real estate firm wants to offer blockchain-based tokens to clients but is stalled by regulation.

What to know:

  • Barry Sternlicht, whose Starwood Capital manages more than $125 billion in assets, says the firm is ready to tokenize real-world assets but is stymied by U.S. regulatory barriers.
  • Sternlicht argues that tokenizing assets like real estate on blockchains could open new ways to raise capital and give investors access to illiquid markets.
  • Praising the technology as "the future," he likens tokenization’s development stage to an earlier stage than that of artificial intelligence and says the world needs to catch up.
