K-POP Meets Web3: StarGlow Launches to Redefine Fan and Artist Connections
StarGlow Launches: Ushering in a New Era of K-POP Fandom with Web3 The world of K-POP is about to experience a seismic shift. RedSlippers, South Korea's trailblazing entertainment-tech company, proudly announces the official launch of StarGlow (STARGLOW) — the next-generation Web3 platform that is redefining the relationship between fans and artists, and turning fandom into a real investment opportunity. Transforming Fans into Stakeholders For too long, K-POP fans have been passionate supporters, but rarely true participants in the growth of their favorite artists. StarGlow is changing that narrative. By fusing cutting-edge AI artist valuation with secure blockchain technology, StarGlow empowers fans to become investors, managers, and co-producers — not just admirers. Direct Investment: Fans can now invest in artist IPs, influencing the trajectory of rising stars and established icons alike. Transparent Participation: Every action — from voting to completing quests — is rewarded with STARGLOW tokens, making every moment of engagement meaningful. Exclusive Access: Tokens unlock a world of artist merchandise, concert tickets, private content, and more. A Platform Built on Scale, Experience, and Trust StarGlow isn't just another fan platform — it's a global movement. With a foundation built on six years of industry leadership, RedSlippers has produced over 4,000 live performances and assembled Korea's largest K-POP behavioral database. The platform is launching with over 3,000 artist profiles and 15 major IP partners, each boasting hundreds of thousands to millions of followers. Backed by Korea's Most Trusted Institutions StarGlow's vision is validated by strategic partnerships with some of Korea's most respected public and financial organizations: These alliances ensure that StarGlow operates on a foundation of trust, compliance, and real-world value. StarGlow is pioneering the application of Real World Assets (RWA) in entertainment. Through NFT purchases, fans can now participate in actual artist revenue streams, transforming digital collectibles into tangible financial opportunities. This innovative model merges the decentralized power of Web3 with the global reach of K-POP, creating a new paradigm in entertainment finance. Building the Future of Human Capital Investment StarGlow's ambitions don't stop at K-POP. The platform's next phase will open up investment in creators, athletes, and artists across diverse fields — forging a Web3-powered ecosystem where fandom becomes partnership, and passion translates into shared growth and value. What's Next for StarGlow? NFTs and the STORE will go live in August, offering new ways for fans to engage and invest. Airdrop and token reward events are now underway for early adopters.

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.

AI Innovation Boosts $LIMO 68%: Limoverse Launches MAIA for Next-Gen Health Tracking
Dubai, 7 May 2025 — Limoverse, the leading Web3-powered health and wellness ecosystem, is riding a strong wave of momentum. With a 47% price increase in just seven days and nearly 70% growth over the past month, the $LIMO token is making its mark — fueled by strategic product rollouts, rising adoption, and the global launch of MAIA, the AI health agent that's already shifting how people engage with their wellness. Precision Wellness Goes Mainstream: MAIA's Public Debut At the center of this surge is MAIA — Limoverse's AI-powered health agent designed to interpret blood and genetic data into personalized, actionable insights. After a month in early access, MAIA launched for public on April 30, allowing anyone to experience its advanced capabilities for the first time. For users, it brings health optimization down to earth — translating complex bio-reports into simple, human conversations. 'MAIA makes precision wellness as simple as chatting with a friend — and it's already transforming user engagement,' said Dr. Sajeev Nair, Founder of Limoverse. Token Utility Strengthens as Ecosystem Expands With MAIA now available and the Limoverse SuperApp ecosystem gaining traction, the $LIMO token is evolving into a true utility asset. It unlocks premium features, advanced biomarker tracking, and a growing suite of AI-driven tools within the Limoverse platform. The user journey is no longer passive — it's interactive, rewarding, and driven by meaningful, daily health inputs. 'Our community doesn't just trade the token — they run, lift, meditate, and share biomarkers every day. That real-world utility is finally being priced in,' said Mohit Ahuja, Chief Strategy Officer. Three‑Month Scorecard: February to April 2025 Limoverse's growth over the past quarter highlights the power of consistent execution and strategic focus. Below are some of the key milestones achieved between February and April 2025: 200k+ SuperApp downloads — Fastest quarter-to-quarter growth to date 86M $LIMO burned — Sustained deflation via Move-to-Earn 7 new CEX listings — Global liquidity expansion Global Community Meet (Apr 29) — MAIA demo + roadmap unveiled Crypto Debit Card beta announced — Health-driven crypto spending now a reality Community-Driven Growth and Consistent Execution Beyond tech, what sets Limoverse apart is the consistency in communication and commitment to its user base. Regular product updates, live events, and transparent dialogue have built trust across global users. As the platform evolves, the people who fuel it remain front and center — actively contributing to both product feedback and ecosystem growth. Roadmap: What's Next With the recent wins laying a solid foundation, Limoverse is gearing up for its next chapter of growth: iOS SuperApp Launch (Q2) — Includes face-scan vitals, AI fitness coach, and in-app $LIMO top-ups Regional Expansion — Targeting 25k paid subscribers across North America, Southeast Asia, and Africa Token Utility Expansion — Introducing subscription bundles, debit card rewards, and partner integrations MAIA v2 Rollout — Enhanced wearable sync, multilingual voice support, and longevity-focused intelligence A Future That's Already in Motion The surge in $LIMO isn't just market noise — it reflects a project hitting its stride. With AI-driven health tools, real-world token utility, and a community-first approach, Limoverse is delivering on the promise of personalized, decentralized wellness.
