MEET48 Officially Announces TGE and $IDOL Listing on Binance Wallet, Bitget, Gate, MEXC, and PancakeSwap on June 11
Dubai, UAE, June 11th, 2025, Chainwire
On June 10, MEET48 — the world's first Web3.0 AI-Agent and AIUGC creator & fan economy entertainment community — announced it will officially launch its TGE on June 11, 2025. MEET48's native token, $IDOL, will be listed on Binance Alpha, Bitget, Gate, MEXC, and PancakeSwap. With a vision of disrupting Web3 through entertainment and leading a new Web3 entertainment era with idol cultivation and fan economy, MEET48 continues to shape the future.
Binance Wallet and PancakeSwap have announced that MEET48's TGE will take place on June 11, 2025, from 8AM to 10AM (UTC). Eligible participants must use Binance Alpha Points to join the subscription. $IDOL will go live on Bitget, Gate and MEXC on June 11, 2025 at 12PM (UTC).
Currently, MEET48 boasts 3.8 million active users and 500,000 Web3 wallets globally, frequently ranking #1 among social applications on BNB Chain with on-chain interaction volumes exceeding hundreds of millions. With the TGE as a starting point, MEET48 will inject a range of major AI entertainment products and services, aiming to reinforce the utility and market value of the $IDOL token, and position it as a mainstream token in the Web3 real-world application landscape. The project also targets the market pain point of 'IEO as a short-term peak,' striving to deliver long-term value for investors.
In previous major Web3 events from 2024 to 2025 — whether in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Bangkok, or Singapore — MEET48 captivated global audiences with its distinctive interactive formats and powerful stage performances. For instance, during TOKEN2049, MEET48 hosted the Side Event 'Back To The Streets,' where idols engaged in face-to-face interactions and handshakes with fans from around the world, deepening emotional bonds between them.
In addition, MEET48 officially announced that it had secured token round funding from a number of prominent institutions and individuals, including Liang Xinjun (Co-founder of Fosun Group), Hash Global, HashKey Capital, and Animoca. The round valued the project at a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $100 million. Following the TGE, MEET48 will reveal further breakthroughs from this funding round, continuing to advance its mission of redefining Web3 through entertainment — and opening up broader possibilities for its future development on BNB Chain.
On June 9, MEET48 launched its $IDOL airdrop program for all users interacting with the MEET48 ecosystem, partner communities, special contributors, active users of Mars Protocol, the top three winners of 'The Mars Audition for Best3 AI-MEME' and holders of ecosystem NFTs. The first token claim will open immediately after TGE and can be used to participate in the 1st Web3.0 All-Community Annual Idol Popularity Audition & Ceremony (WIPA). Notably, WIPA is the first global initiative to integrate blockchain mechanisms into idol audition systems. It is co-hosted by MEET48 and China's major youth girl group SNH48 GROUP as global strategic partners and will be held on August 2 at Arena, AsiaWorld-Expo, Hong Kong. All members of SNH48 GROUP and their overseas AI-Agent virtual group will participate in the WIPA Global Finals to compete for resources in overseas and Web3 development.
2025 Q3 Roadmap — Mars Protocol, AIdol Producer, and AI-Audition
Beyond WIPA, MEET48 will continue to execute its published ecosystem roadmap. In Q3 2025, MEET48 will further develop the Mars Protocol — a BSC-based AI-Agent and social idol coin launch platform. AIdol Producer will allow users to create AI Idol-Agents with autonomous interaction capabilities in one click, supporting chat, livestreaming, and virtual performances, while also leveraging advanced AIGC technologies to generate AI-based music, dance, and multimedia content.
At the same time, MEET48 will launch 'AI-Audition', a next-generation AI + Web3 upgrade of the globally renowned game IP 'Audition' — a classic dance simulation game with over 1 billion users and over $10 billion in historical revenue. 'AI-Audition' is developed by the original 'Audition' marketing team and deeply integrated with the MEET48 community, using $IDOL as its main in-game currency. It is built on the Web3 framework and rooted in idol cultivation and fan economy principles. As the world's first virtual music and dance LLM + AI-Agent-powered simulation chain game, 'AI-Audition' fuses three ecosystems under Web3 consensus: the music & dance AIUGC creator economy, virtual idol/group cultivation system, and dance simulation gameplay.
As the core content pillar of the MEET48 ecosystem, 'AI-Audition' represents the largest classic game IP integration in the history of AI entertainment and GameFi. With over 3 years of R&D, a total investment exceeding $100 million, and more than 500 developers, 'AI-Audition' is set to launch public limited testing in Q3 2025, poised to become a landmark global industrial breakthrough in AI and Web3.
2025 Q4 Roadmap — CoinFishing and MonopoliFi
In Q4 2025, MEET48 will introduce more game projects using the same governance token for community incentive and governance. CoinFishing combines a decentralized explosion rate mechanism with a market-driven swap liquidity pool to create a next-gen 3D upgrade of the classic fishing game under a fair, non-intervention Play-to-Earn model. MonopoliFi is a large-scale GameFi project integrating open-world and city-building UGC mechanics, allowing users to mine through tasks, build virtual cities using in-game editors, and conduct on-chain transactions — bridging the game economy with real-world financial systems.
2026 Q1 Roadmap — AI-Audition, Decentralized AI-Agent Graphic Social Layer, and Metaverse
In Q1 2026, AI-Audition will enter unlimited testing and commercial operation. MEET48 will also prioritize the development of a decentralized AI-Agent-based graphic social layer and the MEET48 Metaverse. With its foundation in UGC creation and token-driven idol popularity growth, MEET48 aims to co-build with its users a robust Web3 + AI-powered entertainment infrastructure, pioneering the future of idol cultivation and the fan economy.

Changes in U.S. Regulation Are Simplifying the Growth of Web3 Business
With regulatory changes gaining traction and Washington warming to digital assets, the U.S. is quickly reclaiming its place at the forefront of blockchain development. Story by OKX The United States has witnessed a remarkable revamp of its crypto industry in the past six months to become a fertile ground for innovation, startup growth, capital formation, and a founder's paradise. Read on to explore how regulatory changes are simplifying the growth of Web3 businesses. What's Fueling Business Growth? Various bills and acts have cleared the House, the majority of which are aimed at improving the regulation of virtual assets. One of those bills proposes a structured division of oversight between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which hopes to build stronger clarity between startups and investors. In essence, this will streamline the process of achieving compliance while still innovating. Thanks to this, many founders and high-profile ventures who left the U.S. market are slowly returning. One of those, OKX, is relaunching in the U.S., while others like Deribit and Crossover Markets have already announced plans to set up operations in the country. The Best Time for Crypto Businesses to Thrive Seed rounds for Web3 infrastructure, AI-integrated blockchain platforms, RWAs, and tokenized finance startups are closing faster and becoming often oversubscribed. Insights suggest that blockchain-based startups raised $4.8 billion in Q1 2025, which is the highest amount since late 2022. The thaw is real, and investors are taking notice. The current administration has taken steps to refine policies for digital assets while implementing regulatory changes to how the federal government views the cryptocurrency sector. Moreover, the administration is engaging with digital asset firms and fintech leaders by opening communication lines with major players in the space, aiming to craft a national crypto strategy that is pro-business and globally competitive. The Ripple Effect New policies are expanding the definition of "dealers" to include certain DeFi participants. This time, regulation will come with dialogue. Recent testimony from SEC and CFTC leadership before Congress suggested a willingness to work within the scope of recently passed and upcoming bills, signaling a more cooperative stance. This has done the impossible quickly, translating into tangible ecosystem growth. The trend is consistent: founders are building, funds are deploying, and regulators are increasingly watching with open (not closed) eyes. The pivot is not without its critics. Some privacy advocates worry that regulation will compromise the ethos of decentralization. Others believe the sudden friendliness could evaporate with a single lawsuit or political scandal. But these voices acknowledge that, for now, the industry is experiencing renewed activity compared to levels observed prior to the Terra and FTX events. One exciting dimension of this resurgence is how it ties back to policy. The crypto sector is no longer a fringe issue and is slowly becoming embedded in national economic discussions, where policymakers now treat it accordingly. State governments across Nevada, California, Florida, and Colorado, among others, are experimenting with Web3 pilot programs that serve different sectors, ranging from land title registries to municipal stablecoins. The Return of Talent The United States has spoken of a 'crypto brain drain' for years as engineers, founders, and legal experts fled the U.S. for more welcoming environments. However, that trend has already reversed. Some of the biggest names in blockchain have announced U.S. headquarters, expansions, or relaunches in recent weeks. The crypto economy is returning—not just in capital, but in talent and infrastructure. Final Take The months coming are more critical too than the previous ones; the sector still expects the Senate to pass some more key legislation, and at the same time provide room for oversight authorities to be predictable. It's an important time in the history of crypto, a time when innovation is thriving across decentralized finance (DeFi), Real World Assets (RWAs), institutional adoption, and payments. The maturity of the industry will prove itself with time if it can demonstrate its resilience without veering away from its founding principles. Still, the crypto community has every reason to have faith in the industry. In the government, there is growing optimism, and for first-time founders and investors, they won't be waiting for permission but building with a clear purpose. While it cannot yet be called a victory lap, the developments are surely a restart not seen in years. OKX Exchange products are not yet available in the United States due to local laws and regulations. Investing in digital assets carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Potential investors should ensure that they have an understanding of the risks involved, seeking professional advice where appropriate.

Filecoin is building the 'Airbnb for file storage', says exec
Filecoin is building the 'Airbnb for file storage', says exec originally appeared on TheStreet. In a digital world where nearly all web data flows through Amazon, Google, or Microsoft, Marta Belcher and Filecoin are flipping the script. 'Think of it like Airbnb for file storage,' said Belcher, President and Chair of the Filecoin Foundation, in a recent conversation with TheStreet Roundtable. 'People all over the world can rent out unused storage space on their hardware to store encrypted shards of data—securely, privately, and without relying on centralized entities.' At its core, Filecoin is building what Belcher calls 'foundational technology for the next generation of the web,' offering a decentralized alternative to cloud giants like AWS. The goal? Resilience, security, and control—values often missing from the current data ecosystem. When most investors hear the word 'crypto,' they think price charts, digital assets, and decentralized finance. But according to Marta Belcher, President and Chair of the Filecoin Foundation, that's only scratching the surface. 'Crypto isn't just about finance,' Belcher said. 'The real innovation is in programmable money.' Filecoin is showing what that means—starting with decentralized file storage. At first glance, the network looks like a Web3 challenger to Amazon Web Services, allowing anyone in the world to rent out unused storage space and get paid in FIL tokens. But it's the how that's revolutionary: payments on Filecoin are automated, granular, and permissionless. 'You can write a smart contract to pay a storage provider in real time, based on their uptime and performance,' said Belcher. 'Or pay a songwriter a fraction of a cent for every second a song is streamed. These kinds of micro-transactions were never possible before crypto.' It's a bold reframe of what blockchain technology can do. Instead of speculative hype or abstract decentralization, Filecoin is highlighting a tangible use case: letting people earn, store, and interact with data and payments in programmable ways—no middlemen required. 'Web3 lets us build systems where rules are baked into code,' Belcher added. 'That opens up entirely new business models—ones where creators, consumers, and infrastructure providers are all directly connected.' As regulators and investors continue to debate the future of digital assets, Filecoin is already shipping it. For Belcher and her team, the message is simple: crypto isn't a bet on finance. It's a bet on the programmable economy.
