Allowing users to pay to add luxury products to their online avatar, including through revenue-sharing agreements with developers, is on the rise, according to Morgan Stanley. Tangential to games are online events, such as music festivals, which have the potential to reach a massive audience of young consumers. Along with luxury brands, beneficiaries of the events trend include the likes of Universal Music Group (UMS.Netherlands).</p>\n<p>The second metaverse opportunity is in nonfungible tokens (NFTs), which are tokenized versions of digital media that are hosted, and traded, on the blockchain—the decentralized ledger technology underpinning cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ether.Luxury companies can sell exclusive versions of their digital products for a hefty price tag: Dolce & Gabbana sold nine NFTs for $5.7 million, according to the bank’s research.

Gaming collaborations could constitute 40% of metaverse revenue by 2030, but only 20% of profits.</p>\n<p>While revenue from digital mediums remains negligible for luxury brands, the opportunities are only increasing, according to Morgan Stanley. While the metaverse will take years to develop, and there remain risks to its long-term future, social gaming and NFTs are near-term plays.</p>\n<p>The whole luxury sector is likely to benefit from these trends, but some companies are better positioned than others. Namely, “soft luxury” brands—which make ready-to-wear items such as leather goods and shoes—are in a better spot than “hard luxury” groups specializing in the likes of jewelry and watches.</p>\n<p>And if it’s true that users will be more inclined to wear designer leather jackets than Rolexes in the metaverse, the Morgan Stanley team has a winning stock pick:Kering (KER.France).</p>\n<p>The French luxury-goods group owns brands including Gucci, Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, and others. It’s the best-placed given the brands’ demographic, as well as the company’s head start in innovative digital collaborations, according to the bank.</p>\n<p>Balenciaga, for instance, has a new partnership for in-game merchandise in the online game <i>Fortnite</i>.
