According to TechFlow, MEW, the leading cat-themed token on the Solana blockchain, has partnered with LOCUS Animation Studio to launch a new 3D animation series. MEW is the world's first entertainment brand and retail product line created by the Meme Coin community. LOCUS mainly produces 3D animation and TV series in the Korean market. After raising about $17.5 million last year, it plans to conduct an initial public offering (IPO) early next year and focus on international expansion.

MEW aims to become the most viewed and well-known Meme coin among global audiences. Through the 3D animation cooperation with LOCUS, MEW can begin to attract the attention of movie and TV audiences and expand its digital media influence. MEW will be launched in March 2024. As the first cat token to break the market value of US$900 million, MEW quickly became the darling of Meme coin traders.

LOCUS’s IPs such as Red Shoes and Yumi’s Cells are popular in South Korea, and its films have been released in 128 countries around the world. The cooperation with MEW continues LOCUS’s expertise in creating popular characters with cultural significance. Leo Kangsan Kim, head of LOCUS’s digital experience business department, said that the cooperation with MEW marks the beginning of LOCUS’s entry into the Web3 market, and also means that LOCUS sees great potential in the Web3 market.
