Additionally, TIME will hold ETH on its balance sheet for the first time. True to its crypto and Web3 focus, the transaction was entirely conducted in Ethereum (ETH), marking a first for a major media organization. “So, with our partners at TIME, our first objective is to create a shared lexicon and understanding of the idea and the opportunities that are emerging as we become an increasingly digital species and continue (and accelerate) our ongoing journey from the physical to the virtual world.” “Before we can build the metaverse, we need to define it, since, today, the word connotes vastly different things to different people,” said Sam Englebardt. For this, TIME will leverage Galaxy Digital’s deep expertise in virtual worlds to explain the metaverse and its exciting potential for the future, including insights from Sam Englebardt and Richard Kim, General Partners of Galaxy Interactive, a Galaxy Digital venture franchise focused on investing in companies operating at the intersection of content, finance, and technology. “We look forward to partnering with TIME, an iconic brand driving innovation, as we seek to bring readers, creators, and the curious into the metaverse and demystify the tremendous amount of transformation happening within.”Īs part of the partnership, TIME will host additional educational resources on the metaverse via its new Time for Learning branded content page, to be unveiled in December. “Over the next decade, the metaverse will become an increasingly important part of the world economy our physical and digital realities are already becoming hard to distinguish,” said Mike Novogratz, CEO and Founder of Galaxy Digital. The newsletter will explore the ways our physical and digital selves are becoming increasingly blurred, highlight communities that are rapidly emerging in new digital settings, and talk to leaders at the forefront of the business, innovation, and culture taking place within the metaverse.
