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. About MEET48 MEET48 is the world's first AI-Agent and AIUGC-powered fan economy entertainment community and is regarded as one of the largest Web3 application project teams globally. With a 500-member R&D team and regional operations spanning Singapore, Hong Kong, Taipei, Tokyo, Seoul, and Dubai, MEET48 is committed to realizing mass adoption of Web3 through a youth entertainment ecosystem centered around AIGC (Animation, IDOL, GAME, and Comics) and a graphically intelligent social metaverse base.

Part of Thunder's identity traces roots to Oklahoma City bombing
But they all have knowledge of the crime and tragedy because every Thunder employee - from the business side to basketball operations, from first-round draft pick to a player on a two-way G League contract - visits and tours the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum. "I was on that tour within a month of working here," said Daigneault, who was hired as the franchise's G League coach in 2014. "There's literally no one that's ever put a logo on their chest that has not been through there because it's just such a big part of the story of the city and the kindness, the compassion that the city has and this community has not only for the team but for one another." April 19 marked the 30th anniversary of the bombing, and the memorial and museum has conducted several events honoring victims and their families and sharing history. There is no question the bombing shaped the city and region, contributing to its resolve, strength and sense of community. The memorial and museum are one mile north of the team's arena in downtown Oklahoma City, and about 500,000 people visit the sacred ground annually. The memorial is marked by solemnity and a reminder of evil. On a recent morning, visitors walked through the outdoor portion of the memorial. At one end, the 9:01 Gate "represents the innocence before the attack" - the bombing happened at 9:02 - and the 9:03 Gate "symbolizes the moment healing began." The 168 chairs represent each of the people killed in the bombing, the survivor wall - a remnant from the explosion - and the survivor tree, "a living symbol of resilience," are part of the outdoor memorial. Kari Watkins is the president and CEO of the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum and has had a significant role in creating a space that honors and teaches through a variety of storytelling methods, including interactive exhibits. Watkins, one of USA TODAY's 2025 Women of the Year, was the memorial and museum's first employee. She said Thunder executive vice president and general manager Sam Presti reached out to her. "I met with him, talked to him and took him through (the memorial and museum), and we've become good friends," Watkins told USA TODAY Sports. "He is more than a GM to me. He is a friend." Presti is on the memorial and museum's executive committee. "We have this term called the Oklahoma Standard," Watkins said. "It was a term that (Tom) Brokaw coined the first night of his broadcast in 1995 talking about how Oklahomans were a little different. They were cowboy tough, they were resilient, they were strong, and they had set the standard he had never seen before. ... "I'll never forget one board meeting, I don't know, 10 years ago, eight years ago, Sam said, 'You guys take this for granted. You think everybody takes care of their neighbors.' Everybody steps up, and it says so much about the people of the city. They just go and do things. They serve others, they help others. And there's a kindness level here, and we've worked on that harder because of Sam's influence." OPINION: How Pacers coach Rick Carlisle helped Thunder GM Sam Presti break into NBA C-suite USA TODAY Women of the Year: Pacers CEO Mel Raines relishes building community through sport On Friday, June 6, Watkins led NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and Thunder owner Clay Bennett on a tour. "I was telling the commissioner the reason I think it's so important is because we are starting to see the same dehumanization and hear the same anti-government rhetoric, and we're hearing all those same noises we heard in 1995, and we've got to stop it," Watkins said. "We've got to figure how to sit down and listen." Caruso, the Thunder's key reserve guard, started his professional basketball career with the Thunder's G League team in 2016. That's when he visited the memorial and museum for the first time. "The cool thing about the organization is no matter how big, small, what your role is on the team, you make a trip out there just to learn about the history of it and how it did impact the community and understand why the relationship is so tight between this team and organization and the community," Caruso said. Said Watkins: "What the perpetrators sought to do in 1995 was to divide our city. And if you're here, you see a city that's united. And so those were the lessons we learned, and we just want to keep, we're passing them on to thousands of school kids a year. "But when you wear the words Oklahoma City on your jersey, you are an ambassador for your city. And so when they come through, they learn the story. Most of them don't know it. They weren't alive. And unless they've Googled it or seen it somewhere, they don't know the story." They now know the story, woven into the heart and soul of the city.
