Hot Wheels are going on-chain tonight. @ripcarsio goes live at 5pm UTC. We have already witnessed the success Pokémon gachas have seen on Solana, so this one will be a very interesting play. The Hot Wheels market in numbers: • $1.75B in sales in 2025, best-selling toy in the world • 22.5 cars sold every second • Adult collectors drive a third of it • The biggest sale ever was the 1969 pink Beach Bomb, sold for $175K. solana:CARSsxWPkpQWvfyRBwfGMGvysJBHdHGfE46X5MNgmeta raised $250K on @MetaDAOProject with $31.9M committed. 128x oversubscribed. Time to rip some cars.

I still don’t own a Cybertruck… but I do own this Hot Wheels Cybertruck. First kid who wants a picture with the real one I plan to buy one day in the future gets this little truck. Have an awesome day everyone! 73

One of the most compelling consumer app launches on @MetaDAOProject is @ripcarsio Sold 1,900 Hot Wheels cars, generating $290,000 in volumes. They paused front end integrations with platforms like @JupiterExchange to build inventory.
