MEET48

MEET48, dedicated to building a Web3.0 entertainment ecosystem, announced today that the inaugural Web3.0 Global Idol Annual Popularity Finals (WIPA) has entered the final week countdown phase, with a cumulative consumption of over 48.25 million IDOL tokens, accounting for 1.01% of the total token supply. The official team anticipates that by the voting deadline on August 2nd at 04:00 UTC and the announcement of the final results at the AsiaWorld-Expo Arena in Hong Kong, the total IDOL consumption is expected to exceed 2%, laying an unprecedented participation foundation for this groundbreaking event.

As the world's first project to deeply integrate blockchain mechanisms with idol selection, WIPA has brought together popular members from the SNH48 GROUP and the AI-Agent virtual idol group launched by MEET48. The real-virtual confrontation has added a unique perspective to the selection competition. The final will select the TOP16 idols, who will not only receive resources such as digital singles and MV production, global advertising exposure, overseas tours, and handshake events but will also be the first to interact with AI virtual idols across dimensions, creating a new narrative for Web3 entertainment.

Since the official launch of the IDOL token's TGE on June 11 at MEET48 and its listing on platforms such as Binance Alpha, Bitget, Gate, MEXC, and PancakeSwap, a series of pre-launch activities around WIPA has quickly attracted global fan attention.

At the same time, on-chain performance has confirmed this phenomenon's popularity. According to DappRadar data, the past 24-hour trading volume of IDOL has reached $27 million, while the MEET48 event Dapp has seen 34,000 on-chain unique wallet interactions in the past 7 days, with 29,520 active user wallets, demonstrating high user stickiness and ecosystem activity. Previously, MEET48 has also received support from various institutions and individuals, including YZi Labs, the co-founder of Fosun Group, Liang Xinjun, HashKey Capital, Hash Global, Animoca, among many others. The BNB Chain Foundation has even announced the purchase of $25,000 worth of IDOL tokens, further boosting market confidence in the project.

As the finals approach, fans' enthusiasm for voting continues to soar. The final rankings will not only directly determine the idol's commercial resources and exposure but will also provide a verifiable on-chain fan economy paradigm for the Web3.0 entertainment industry. On August 2, idols and virtual players from various Asian regions will gather in Hong Kong for a joint performance. Artists such as Super Junior-D&E, Sandara Park, MIYAVI, and SNH48's Yuan Yiqi and Xu Jiaqi will also make appearances to support the event, hosted by Jacky Wu. WIPA is not just a selection event but also a landmark event in the integration of blockchain and the entertainment industry. It will witness a milestone moment for the Web3 entertainment fan economy with its on-chain voting, global participation, and real idol resource realization closed-loop mechanism.

“Buy land, they’re not making it anymore.” This is a famous saying wrongly attributed to Mark Twain in the 20th century, frequently used as a slogan in real estate. Gravity has given a strong endorsement to this saying. If humans cannot travel to the stars, land, like Bitcoin, is also “non-inflatable.” In 2025, the crypto wave conducted from Silicon Valley to Wall Street finally reached Washington, quietly beginning to change the fundamental structure of the real estate industry as regulatory compliance progressed. In early July, Christie's International Real Estate officially established a dedicated department for crypto property transactions, becoming the world's first luxury real estate brokerage brand to fully support “pure digital currency payment for home purchases” under a corporate name. This is just the beginning. From Silicon Valley entrepreneurs to Dubai developers, from Beverly Hills mansions to rental apartments in Spain, a group of blockchain technology and digital asset-based real estate transaction platforms are emerging, forming a nascent “Crypto Real Estate” track.
