HSBC (NASDAQ: HBCYF) and Fidelity Investments have hinted at a desire to join the metaverse bandwagon by filing trademark applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

The filings, confirmed by trademark attorney Mike Kondoudis, focus on non-fungible tokens (NFTs), the metaverse, digital asset trading, and virtual land. The presentations are a departure from traditional offerings from financial firms, but they illustrate the general direction of their effort in the coming years.
