\n<\/p>\n

It app<\/a>ears that retail giant Walmart Inc. is getting ready to enter the Metaverse with patent filings indicating that it plans to create its own cryptocurrency and NFT collection. <\/p>\n

The multinational retailer filed several new trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Dec. 30, however, they remained unnoticed until a Jan. 16 report<\/a> by CNBC shed more light on Walmart\u2019s ambitions. <\/p>\n

Walmart filed a total of seven patent applications at the time, including three under its existing advertising division \u201cWalmart Connect\u201d. <\/p>\n

The applications<\/a> included plans to create and sell \u201cvirtual goods,\u201d including the likes of electronics, toys, appliances, apparel, and home decor. There\u2019s also mention of a \u201cdigital currency\u201d and \u201cdigital token\u201d, and opportunities to buy and sell NFTs.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a separate application<\/a> suggests plans to trademark the Walmart brand name and logo in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), with the possibility of introducing \u201cphysical fitness training services\u201d in VR and AR. <\/p>\n
