The metaverse is a virtual world where users share experiences and interact in real-time within simulated scenarios. It is still largely conceptual but could transform how people work, shop, communicate, and consume content. A virtual world involving the sale of digital assets will inevitably require cyber insurance for protection against metaverse commerce risks. There is currently a gap in digital protection, and cyber policies must cover virtual losses in the metaverse. These will range from virtual property insurance and business interruption insurance to cybersecurity and virtual theft insurance. Insurers could also use the metaverse to drive customer engagement. As the metaverse develops, there will be a growing need to develop innovative insurance products and services.
