Meta files for trademarks in the crypto space
Meta has filed eight trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Officer relating to blockchain technology.
One of the trademarks is for financial transaction processing services relating to tokens, blockchain assets, cryptos and virtual assets. Other notable filings include downloadable software in the nature of a mobile application, such as for user authentication, online charitable fundraising and most notably, for hardware or e-wallets.
Fashion week in Decentraland
Metaverse Fashion Week is happening right now in the Decentraland metaverse and top brands like Estée Lauder, Dolce & Gabbana, Forever 21 and more are participating in the virtual fashion experience.
Just like Meta, these fashion brands spent weeks laying claim to metaverse-ready trademarks in what now appears to have been a preemptive brand protection strategy ahead of their NFT premiere.

This Monero platform was hardly used by any till January 2022. Just look at it now.
