Book Description
The book provides deep insight into the processes of digital transformation of banking according to economic, institutional, and social dimensions. Together with the transformation of incumbent banks, the processes result in changes in the scope of existing banking services. Moreover, new entities (FinTech firms) partner with incumbent banks and reshape the banking sector and its financial environment. The far-reaching transformation of banks and the banking sectors is accompanied by some institutional and socioeconomic processes. Regarding institutional processes, the book provides insight into the digitalization of the banking sector from a legal point of view. Traditionally, banking is strongly regulated by norms and rules and this status should be maintained when new entities are entering the sector and/or when new technological solutions contribute to the provision of banking services. Regarding socioeconomic processes, it must be highlighted that digitalization is exerting a powerful impact on societies. One significant example, among others, is the increase in the financial inclusion of disadvantaged groups (especially customers either underserved by the traditional financial sector or unbanked). The socioeconomic aspect, however, has a much greater dimension and its selected aspects are described in this book. The principal audience of the book will be scholars in the fields of banking and finance, but also other related disciplines in the social sciences that are of particular relevance to the banking sector’s digital transformation. This includes legal science, management, and psychology. The book also targets professionals in the financial industry interested in the impact of new financial technologies on banking sectors and bank services, particularly with a main focus on legal and socioeconomic dimensions.

Book Description
The Metaverse seamlessly integrates the real world with the virtual world and allows avatars to engage in a broad range of activities including entertainment, social networking, and trading. In this book, we dive into the Metaverse by discussing how blockchains connect various Metaverse components, digital currencies, and blockchain-empowered applications in the virtual world. On the other hand, Web3 has also attracted considerable attention due to its uniquely decentralized characteristics. The digital economy, currently undergoing a rapid development, is a critical driver to highly efficient societies. It is imperative that we investigate how to use Web3 technologies to address the critical concerns encountered during the development of the digital economy by fully exploring Web3. In this book, we also share insights into the Web3-based ecosystem in the Metaverse; topics of interest include decentralized finance, digital assets, the asset-trading market, etc. Unlike most works on the subject, this book mainly concentrates on insights and discussions regarding blockchain, the Metaverse and Web3. In other words, it focuses on using blockchain technologies to enable an ecosystem for both the Metaverse and Web3. Topics addressed include blockchain fundamentals, smart contracts, value circulation in the Metaverse, the connection between the Metaverse and Web3, the establishment of the Metaverse on the basis of blockchain technologies, decentralized autonomous organization, decentralized storage, digital economy, Web3-based economic systems for the Metaverse, etc. This book will be a valuable resource for students, researchers, engineers, and policymakers working in various areas related to blockchain, the Metaverse and Web3. We hope that it will also inspire readers from academia and industry alike, and ultimately help them create a truly open, fair, and rational ecosystem for the Metaverse and Web3.

Book Description
Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt eine Vorstudie der Autorin fort und untersucht die Bereitschaft der Gesellschaft, das Metaverse - eine immersive Umgebung, in der Menschen die Möglichkeit haben, miteinander zu kommunizieren und auf unterschiedliche Weisen zu interagieren, zu betreten. Dabei wird das Stadium identifiziert, in dem das Metaverse gegenwärtig von der Gesellschaft akzeptiert und angenommen wird. Die Studie verwendet eine Online-Umfrage als quantitative Forschungsmethode, um Daten von einer Stichprobe von TeilnehmerInnen zu sammeln und zielt darauf ab, die Faktoren zu erforschen, die die Bereitschaft der Menschen beeinflussen, die virtuelle Welt zu betreten. Außerdem werden potenzielle Bedenken über die neue Technologie identifiziert werden. Darüber hinaus wird der Wissensstand der TeilnehmerInnen in Bezug auf Web3, Blockchain und Kryptowährung ermittelt und zudem untersucht, wie sich dieses Wissen auf ihre Bereitschaft auswirkt, das Metaverse zu betreten. Vor dieser Befragung wurden die TeilnehmerInnen dazu aufgefordert, eine Schätzung über ihren Wissenstand über die jeweiligen Themen zu machen. Die Ergebnisse zeigten einen positiven und signifikanten Zusammenhang zwischen dem selbst-eingeschätzten Wissen über Web3- und Blockchain-Technologie und der Bereitschaft, das Metaverse zu betreten. TeilnehmerInnen mit einem höheren selbst eingeschätzten Wissen über Web3- und Blockchain-Technologie waren eher geneigt, die virtuelle Welt zu betreten. Der Besitz von Kryptowährungen erwies sich zudem als signifikanter Faktor, da Personen, die digitale Währung besitzen, eine größere Bereitschaft zeigten, das Metaverse zu betreten, als Personen, die keine Kryptowährungen besaßen. Darüber hinaus neigten die TeilnehmerInnen dazu, ihr tatsächliches Wissen zu überschätzen, was dazu führte, dass das tatsächliche Wissensniveau niedriger war als das selbst eingeschätzte Wissen. Die Hauptmotivation für den Eintritt in das Metaverse war das Sammeln neuer Erfahrungen, während Bedenken hinsichtlich der Privatsphäre und der Sicherheit die größten Sorgen bereiteten. Keywords: Metaverse; Web3; Blockchain Technology; Cryptocurrency; NFT; Smart Contracts; AR/ VR/XR****This thesis continues a previous study that was conducted by the author & investigates the willingness of individuals to enter the Metaverse, an immersive environment where users have the ability to communicate & interact with one other. Furthermore, it examines people's enthusiasm in using this new technology and assesses the stage at which the Metaverse is now being accepted and adopted by the users. The research utilizes an online survey as a quantitative research method to collect data from a sample of participants and aims to explore the factors that affect people's willingness to enter the Metaverse and identify potential motivators, as well as concerns for adoption. Furthermore, it assesses the level of understanding and knowledge of Web3, Blockchain, and Cryptocurrency among the participants and examines how this knowledge affects their willingness to engage with the Metaverse. Prior to that, the participants were asked to estimate their level of knowledge on the above-mentioned topics. The findings revealed a positive and significant association between self-rated knowledge of Web3 & Blockchain technology and entering the Metaverse. However, there was no significant link between actual knowledge of Blockchain Technology and the likelihood of entering the Metaverse. Participants with higher self-rated knowledge of Web3 & Blockchain technology were more inclined to enter the virtual world. Furthermore, ownership of cryptocurrency was found to be a significant factor, as individuals who possessed cryptocurrency demonstrated a greater willingness to enter the Metaverse compared to non-owners. Moreover, participants tended to overestimate their actual knowledge, resulting in lower actual knowledge levels than self-reported knowledge. The main motivator for entering the Metaverse was gaining new experiences & attending to concerts & events, while concerns regarding privacy and security resulted in the biggest worries.
