BRUSSELS (Reuters) -The metaverse, shared virtual worlds accessible through the internet, has not triggered any concerns so far or the need for legislation to rein it in, EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager said on Thursday.

An initiative that she will present on the metaverse next week aims to help competition regulators understand the industry's dynamics, Vestager said.
