Speaking to Cointelegraph, eToro market analyst Josh Gilbert believes the new headset will rock markets, in large part due to Apple’s proven ability to deliver high-quality, market-changing products, stating:

“When Apple does it, they usually do it right.”

However, the analyst expressed some doubts that the launch of the new headset will be the “defining moment” that would revitalize Metaverse-related cryptocurrencies.

On this point, Gilbert, like many others, notes that a fully immersive Metaverse experience is probably still a long way off, especially given the gap between the iPhone’s initial launch and the availability of apps that fully exploit the hardware’s potential.

In his view, the power of metaverse tokens like MANA and Sandbox’s SAND The token will be more dependent on widespread adoption of the metaverse by everyday users.

“The bottom line is that we are still very much at the beginning of the Metaverse world and its performance going forward will depend heavily on the Metaverse’s popularity.
