“We hope that within the next decade, the metaverse will reach a billion people, host hundreds of billions of dollars of digital commerce, and support the work of millions of creators and developers,” Zuckerberg wrote in a letter on Thursday. Zuckerberg predicted that elements of the metaverse could become mainstream within 5 to 10 years.
