Solana memecoin MEW partners with LOCUS animation studio to create new 3D animated series

MEW, a cat-themed token on the Solana blockchain, partners with animation studio LOCUS to create a new 3D animated series.

MEW is the first worldwide entertainment brand and retail product line started by a memecoin community.

LOCUS produces 3D animations and TV series primarily in the Korean market.

After raising about $17.5 million in investments in their pre-IPO process last year, LOCUS is set to IPO early next year, with a focus on expanding internationally.

MEW aims to become the highest viewed and most recognized memecoin among fans in a worldwide audience.

By expanding its digital media presence with LOCUS’s 3D animation, MEW can begin to capture the attention of film and TV audiences.

More about MEW

Cat in a dogs world (MEW) is a Solana memecoin MEW first gained attention by airdropping tokens to BONK, WIF, and Solana Saga 2 mobile phone holders when it launched in March 2024.

As the first cat token to break past an all time high of $900 million marketcap, MEW quickly gained popularity among memecoin traders, marking the beginning of a new era for cat coins, which had previously been dominated by dog-themed coins.

As a memecoin, MEW stands out and is well-recognized in mainstream awareness using digital media.

Combining memes and pop culture, MEW produces new art, apparel, and entertainment products based on its character IP.
