The metaverse feels like it could be years away from reaching its full fruition, but a group of visionaries think of it as the future of  the internet and believe that you can invest in it now.

Led by Matthew Ball of EpyllionCo, they teamed up with Roundhill Investments to register a Metaverse ETF. It’s an exchange-traded fund (ETF), or a basket of securities that trade on an exchange, just like a stock.

The fund has now surpassed $300 million in assets under management.
