5. What financial services use-cases for the Metaverse are there?
6. How do those use-cases vary between (a) banks (b) asset managers and (c) insurers?

13. How does money enter the Metaverse (as opposed to being exchanged within it)?
14. Does the Metaverse need money-changers or a money-changing infrastructure or can code alone do the job?

16. Will the Metaverse support token-based micro-economies (such as local sharing networks)?
17. Is it sensible to buy virtual real estate in the Metaverse?
18. Can the Metaversal model disrupt the large corporations that dominate the video-gaming industry (e.g., by gamers becoming creators, owners and directors as well as customers)?

20. How will the Metaverse fulfil its promise of blurring the distinction between the digital world and the physical world?
