Jefferies says the metaverse is as big an investment opportunity as the early internet, as its research chief lays out the bull case
Investors should consider the metaverse as like the early days of the internet, according to Jefferies' head of thematic research.
Simon Powell noted key stocks to watch, telling CNBC people will want to "own the Ciscos" of the metaverse.
Yet many are still skeptical of the idea, with one investor saying proper metaverses are still years away.

🔥Polygon Is Bringing EIP-1559 Upgrades to Its Network With a Testnet Release
Polygon’s core development team is rolling out a testnet implementation of Ethereum Improvement Proposal 1559 to introduce burning of its native MATIC token and better fee visibility.
The changes do not lower the fees paid for transactions, since gas prices are determined by supply and demand. They do allow users to better estimate costs since the base fee is the minimum price for inclusion in the next block. This will result in fewer users overpaying.
These changes have far-reaching implications for all of Polygon’s stakeholders.
