Coinbase has officially given the green light to purrLabs, Inc., a California-based Web2/Web3
next-generation entertainment company, to establish a new Creator
Fund leveraging the Mr. Miggles brand.
First introduced during Coinbase’s NFT campaign in early 2024,
Mr. Miggles, a slightly grumpy yet irresistibly adorable feline
with its iconic tongue playfully sticking out, captured the hearts
of millions in a fun and cheeky marketing campaign video. The
campaign's success sparked the creation of a tribute meme coin,
which demonstrated remarkable organic growth, amassing over 175,000
holders and 90,000 on social media within 4.5 months and
establishing Mr. Miggles as a symbol of community-driven
innovation.
The coin’s success also led to its listings on more than 30
cryptocurrency exchanges, facilitated by partnerships with industry
leaders like Magic Eden, and many others that will be announced
soon.
“This groundbreaking collaboration marks a pivotal
moment in the convergence of Web2 and Web3. At purrLabs, we’re
committed to nurturing innovation through the Mr. Miggles brand by
enabling creators to tap into new forms of expression and growth. A
portion of the Miggles-related revenue that flows to purrLabs will
fund builders, artists, musicians and other creators.” said Kousuke
Tominaga, Chief Executive Officer at purrLabs.
Moving forward, purrLabs will continue to shape the future of
meme culture with plans to expand Mr. Miggles' reach globally,
participating in upcoming major events in 2025 like NFT Japan and
NFT Paris under its Meme World Order (MWO) initiative to bring
together iconic meme IPs from both Web2 and Web3 under one
umbrella.
Additionally, purrLabs is set to explore new frontiers,
including the launch of smart toys and other innovative products,
ensuring that Mr. Miggles becomes an integral part of both digital
and physical experiences for fans worldwide.
