Facebook buys the naming rights for the word "Meta"



Facebook has paid $ 60 million to a South Dakota bank called Meta Financial Group to secure the naming rights for its "Metaverse" renaming.

A spokesman for Meta Platforms Inc, the owner of social media giant Facebook, has announced that the company is behind a $ 60 million deal to purchase the branded assets of the Meta Financial Group.

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Meta Financial announced that it has agreed to use the Meta name and related names, including Metabank and Meta Financial Group, as well as all Meta-related domain names and social media accounts Company called Beige Key LLC for sale. Meta Platforms owns Beige Key and has therefore bought all rights.

The deal highlights the importance of the name “Meta” to the social media company that recently changed its name from Facebook to Meta. Mark Zuckerberg has a strong belief in the Metaverse concept, which he believes is “the next frontier” to the company's growth that could ensure its success for years to come.

Facebook announced in October that its parent company changed its name to Meta Platforms. The tech giant, which has invested heavily in virtual reality and augmented reality, sees the Metaverse as the successor to the mobile internet.

However, Facebook's rebranding efforts have not gone smoothly. The company has received a number of threats to legal action from various companies. For example, an Arizona computer company called Meta PC registered its name back in August. However, the company's owners are ready to sell the name to Facebook for $ 20 million.

The metaverse refers to technologies and inventions that create a virtual world that goes along with our real world. Daily life under this technology will be more connected to the digital world and a person can live in two worlds at the same time.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing.

British financial regulator criticizes cooperation between Binance and Paysafe

  The British financial regulator FCA has expressed concerns about the partnership between market-leading crypto exchange Binance and payment service provider Paysafe. As the British regulator complains, the partnership gives Binance access to the influential British payment network Faster Payments Service (FPS), from which the crypto exchange was previously cut off. Last June, the FCA ordered Binance to stop all business activities in Great Britain. As a result, prominent banks such as Barclays have terminated their cooperation with the leading crypto trading platform . Through the cooperation with Paysafe, Binance can now again offer deposits in British pounds sterling and transactions within the European Payments Area (SEPA). However, this fact is a thorn in the side of the FCA, as it classifies the crypto exchange as a “considerable risk factor”. However, the financial regulator sees little room for maneuver to counteract this, as the Financial Times reports . “ Paysafe understands
