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.

A $243K ICO wrapped up, the first tokenized fossil went live on Solana, and a Hot Wheels gacha sold out its starter packs...plenty happened this week across the @MetaDAOProject ecosystem! Here’s the full rundown: @hivebits_io completed its ICO on @futarddotio with $243K raised from 150 contributors, reaching 173% of its target. @JurassicFi completed the Deaton sale. The first tokenized fossil now trades on Solana as TRCH1. There’s also a TRCH1/USDC market live on @omnipair for borrowing, LPing and looping. @ripcarsio launched its Hot Wheels gacha platform on Solana with more than 1,500 vaulted cars. Starter packs sold out in a few days. @UmbraPrivacy, @omnipair and @crediblefin each put forward proposals to convert a portion of their USDC treasury into USDv from @solomon_labs. @UmbraPrivacy saw UMBRA-005 pass. The proposal authorizes up to $250K of treasury USDC to buy UMBRA below NAV, with all acquired tokens going to the DAO treasury. @loyal_hq reached $800K in active deposits for its Loyal Earn product. @lbolord joined MetaDAO to help grow the number and quality of founders. He’ll work directly with teams on fundraising and onboarding. @avici increased its daily ATM withdrawal limit to $3,000. Signature card holders pay no ATM withdrawal fees and virtual cards can also be used at NFC-enabled ATMs.

.@MetaDAOProject ecosystem showing relative strength Why ownership tokens? Holders have a claim on revenues, ownership over IP and govern the treasury via Futarchy. $SOLO @solomon_labs strong-looking chart and has a bunch of upcoming catalysts $CARS @ripcarsio launched a first to market Hot Wheels Gocha, selling out in the first 2 hours, a $10M annualized revenue run rate (on MCG today!) $CRED @crediblefin Dom pointing to treasury, NAV, and revenue growth as key factors $META is trading well and is up from where it was 223 days ago

Who's building the gacha for hypebeasts? Need somewhere to collect sneakers and designer fashion… this one just feels so obvious. Sneaker heads are already a custom to Rafle style systems. It started with trading cards, now we have hot wheels… fashion feels like Low hanging fruit.

There is truly something remarkable happening on @solana with exotic assets/longtail assets that I think is the truest example of how internet capital markets expands the TAM of finance Collector crypt, phygitals, gacha sports et al are directly contributing to the boom in Pokemon & sports cards Beezie is bringing luxury handbags & fashion as well as cardboard We have watches, fossils, hot wheels, domain names, whiskey, tickets, olive oil, maple syrup and more now or coming soon Within each of these categories, you have an incredible value prop for crypto: - Aggregated global supply & liquidity improves discoverability for niche communities - Tokenization & vaults contributes to trading being more marginally profitable, no need to ship and settle constantly - Lending lets owners borrow USD against their assets, contributing to less perpetual sell pressure - Liquid global markets improve price discovery, meaning people can own at fair value instead of getting gauged in shows and auctions (and pay significantly less fees) - Fractionalization expands buyer audience from 1 needle in haystack buyer to many retail constituents making directional bets There's still a ton of untapped opportunities here, probably representing hundreds of billions in TAM. Have yet to see robust plays in art, or exotic cars, or wine, stamps and coins. The list goes on. If you're building in exotic categories on any chain I would love to hear from you.

A $2M treasury allocation, a major product upgrade, and a $500K exploit fully refunded...another big week in the MetaDAO ecosystem! Here’s the full rundown: @gamebyts launched its ICO on @futarddotio. Two days left before it closes. @avici was affected by an exploit targeting a Rain Solana card contract. The full $500K in losses has been refunded with an extra 10% cashback. @MetaDAOProject saw its META-040 proposal pass. The treasury will convert $2M of USDC into USDv by Solomon. @crediblefin added payouts in Indonesian rupiah with support for local bank transfers, GoPay and OVO. The integration expands Credible’s payment coverage into Indonesia. @omnipair unveiled Dusk V2. The upgrade brings swaps, borrowing, isolated spot margin and one-sided leveraged LP into the same permissionless market. @solomon_labs started a third independent audit of the new USDv with Zenith. Solomon also began winding down the original USDv and sUSDv system ahead of the public launch of its new reserve-backed stablecoin. @LasoFinance has claimed the first spot in Solana’s x402 growth by dollar volume. @ripcarsio announced that its Hot Wheels gacha platform will launch on September 14. @loyal_hq now has more than 500 users with over $100 each earning in Loyal Earn. The product automatically reallocates funds across Kamino to capture the best available APY while users keep full custody.
