Rekt-The Viral Crypto-Native, Zero Alc Sparkling Water With a Cult Following-Hits 7-Eleven Shelves for the First Time
Born on the blockchain, brewed for real life. Rekt Drinks brings its Web3-powered, zero-proof sparkling waters from URL to IRL.
LOS ANGELES, June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Rekt Drinks, the zero alcohol, zero-caffeine sparkling water brand that's been making waves in Web3 since 2024, is officially stepping into retail stores. For the first time, its cult-favorite Liquidated Lime cans, previously only available through limited online drops, are landing on select 7-Eleven store shelves in Southern California this month.
Launched as a crypto-native, consume-to-earn experiment, Rekt has quickly become one of the most buzzed-about brands in the non-alc space, moving over half a million cans across three drops, with its June 2025 online drop of 180,000 cans selling out in just 17 minutes worldwide. Blending physical product with digital culture, meme-fueled aesthetics, and Web3-powered loyalty, each can unlocks DRANK Points, the brand's rewards system that turns purchases and social activity into claimable $REKT Coin, exclusive digital collectibles, and deeper community status.
The retail debut arrives at a moment when non-alc is booming and Gen Z and millennial consumers are demanding better-for-you beverages with real personality. Rekt answers the call with bold flavors, an irreverent aesthetic, and a token-powered universe that rewards participation.
'Our goal wasn't to just launch a drink, it was to build an entirely new kind of brand,' said Ovie Faruq, CEO and co-founder of Rekt Drinks. 'By using Web3's 'community over consumer' mechanics and new-age finance, we're creating a loyalty loop that actually means something. It's fun, it's experimental, it's hyper-engaged, and now it will finally be on shelves in one of our most loyal communities in Southern California. We're also rolling out a special LA activation this month to reward our earliest supporters.'
To celebrate its convenience store debut, Rekt is taking over three 7-Eleven locations across Los Angeles from June 19 to 21. The first 50 customers to snag a Rekt four-pack each day, retailing at $10, will score $REKT Coin worth approximately $100. The coins can be immediately claimed via QR code at checkout, with the ability to set up a crypto wallet with just one tap.
At the core of Rekt is the Rektguy NFT collection—a cult-favorite digital art project with a passionate, crypto-native community and high-profile holders including Snoop Dogg, Steve Aoki, Bassjackers, and Gary Vaynerchuk. Paired with $REKT Coin, a brand-focused cryptocurrency earned through product purchases and community engagement, these digital assets fuel a closed-loop ecosystem where fans become co-creators and customers become brand believers.
Whether crypto-curious or just thirsty, grabbing a can of Rekt is now a gateway into a world where memes meet mission, and every sip counts.

RM30m fund to boost media's digital transformation
KUALA LUMPUR: The RM30 million allocation announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for digital transformation will help media organisations adapt to the evolving media landscape, particularly in facing challenges posed by social media and meeting the expectations of the new generation, especially Gen Z. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the fund is one of the largest in the country's journalism history and aims to strengthen the digital capabilities of local media organisations. 'This may be one of the largest allocations ever provided for the media — RM30 million. 'We hope this fund will help media organisations navigate the ongoing changes, especially the emergence of social media and the preferences of new readers and viewers, particularly Gen Z,' he told a press conference after the HAWANA 2025 highlight event at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL) today. Themed 'Journalism in the New Era: Embracing AI, Safeguarding Ethics', the event was officiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and attended by about 1,000 media practitioners from Malaysia and abroad. Also present at the press conference were Communications Ministry secretary-general Datuk Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa, Capital A Bhd chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, and Bernama editor-in-chief Arul Rajoo Durar Raj, who is also HAWANA 2025 project director. Fahmi said the fund was partly inspired by the success of a previous collaboration with Google, which involved over 30 media organisations in efforts to find new revenue sources through digital platforms. This year, the partnership continues with a new initiative known as Project Sigma, named to reflect Gen Z's interest in the term. The project aims to help media organisations better understand the content consumption behaviour of the younger generation. 'The results from Project Sigma were very encouraging. The RM30 million fund will not only support similar initiatives but also help media outlets explore new platforms, reach new audiences, and experiment with new formats in the pursuit of sustainability,' he said. Fahmi added that the Communications Ministry will soon announce the mechanism for fund application and management. On the one-off 50 per cent discount for round-trip tickets to any of the 57 ASEAN destinations, Fahmi said it was not only a token of appreciation from AirAsia to journalists, but also an opportunity to explore the region and strengthen regional ties. He also announced that AirAsia plans to dedicate an aircraft to the media fraternity, with a journalism-themed plane featuring a special name, livery and design to be unveiled at a future event. Earlier, the Prime Minister announced the RM30 million allocation to support the media industry's adoption of digital technologies and the production of modern content. HAWANA 2025, organised by the Communications Ministry with Bernama as the implementing agency, aims to recognise the contributions of media practitioners to national development. May 29 has been gazetted as National Journalists' Day, in conjunction with the first publication of Utusan Melayu on May 29, 1939, to honour the media's role in shaping an informed and progressive society.
