Hong Kong, Hong Kong, September 25th, 2025, Chainwire
T-REX, a new data and engagement infrastructure for Web3 building on Arbitrum, today announced the launch of its platform aimed at addressing one of the industry’s most persistent challenges: inefficient value distribution.
With $17 million from investors, including Arbitrum Gaming Ventures, Framework Ventures, North Island Ventures, and Portal Ventures, T-REX introduces an “intelligence layer” for Web3, a data-driven system designed to connect projects with users more effectively, strengthen community growth, and improve the long-term health of token ecosystems.
Misaligned Incentives in Web3
Crypto’s technical foundations have evolved rapidly, with faster chains, lower fees, and scalable settlement. But the distribution of value, including the flow of incentives, rewards, and attention, across Web3 remains structurally flawed.
Many token launches see early activity followed by steep declines in price and community engagement. Current mechanisms tend to over-reward short-term participants while overlooking genuine long-term contributors.
“Airdrops and point systems have become blunt instruments. They often attract mercenary actors rather than genuine participants, leading to high cost and weak retention,” said Joyce Yim, CEO and Cofounder of T-REX.
A Data-Driven Alternative
T-REX’s answer is the 5D Persona, a multi-dimensional, privacy-preserving profile that represents users across demographics, assets, social signals, interests, and knowledge. Unlike static DID solutions, these personas evolve with user behavior, creating a more accurate representation over time.
These profiles feed into the platform’s Intelligence Flywheel, a feedback loop that matches the right users to the right projects, calibrates incentive levels, and measures actual contribution. Outcomes are then fed back to refine future campaigns and activities, reducing fraud and increasing return on investment.
Differentiation in a Crowded Space
Identity and engagement tooling is a crowded corner of Web3, with decentralized identifiers (DIDs), questing platforms, and analytics providers competing for mindshare. T-REX positions itself as distinct by combining identity, attribution, and incentive distribution into a single compounding system.
“Most tools today focus on one piece of the puzzle — whether it’s identity verification or campaign management. We are building the infrastructure that connects them so that value can flow more efficiently across the entire ecosystem,” Joyce continued.
Rexy NFT: Proof of Contribution
As part of its ecosystem, T-REX plans to launch Rexy, a 3,333-piece NFT collection on Arbitrum, scheduled for release in October. Rexy is the first contribution-proof NFT, deeply integrated with T-REX’s core intelligence engine.
Rexy will not be publicly sold; instead, Rexy’s distribution logic is tied to the platform’s data systems. The Intelligence Flywheel continuously analyzes user personas to identify participants who have made significant, verifiable contributions to Web3 and closely align with the long-term ecosystem value.
The collection will be distributed via an invite-only whitelist to participants who have demonstrated significant contributions in Web3 or within the T-REX ecosystem.
T-REX describes this as a shift from NFTs as collectibles to NFTs as cultural markers of verified achievement.
About T-REX
T-REX is building a new data and engagement layer for Web3, designed to reshape value distribution across the entire ecosystem. Centered on multi-dimensional user personas and recommendation algorithms, T-REX provides an on-chain intelligence engine to address the structural inefficiencies that have long plagued Web3 economics.
Developed by EVG and supported by leading investors including Arbitrum Gaming Ventures, Framework Ventures, North Island Ventures, ArkStream Capital, Mindfulness Capital, and Portal Ventures, T-REX offers creators and developers a UX-first infrastructure with integrated discovery, rewards, and distribution features — empowering the users to participate, contribute, and build on-chain.

Taren Point, Australia, September 23rd, 2025, Chainwire
Fitell Corporation (NASDAQ: FTEL) (“Fitell” or the “Company”), a global provider of fitness equipment and health solutions, today announced it has secured an up to $100M facility to support the launch of its Solana treasury strategy, marking the first Solana-based digital asset treasury in Australia.
Key Highlights
● DeFi and Yield Roadmap: Designed to generate outsized yields by deploying SOL assets across a diversified suite of on-chain DeFi and derivatives strategies. This includes structured products such as options, snowballs, on-chain liquidity provisioning, and other highly liquid strategies with managed downside risk. Each approach offers varying levels of returns, alpha generation, and duration. Returns generated will be reinvested into the treasury reserve, compounding the velocity of SOL accumulation, increasing SOL-per-share and strengthening alignment with the Solana community.
● Australian Dual Listing: Fitell has initiated steps toward a dual listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), broadening access and exposure for regional investors to SOL.
● Rebrand: Following the initial launch of the Solana treasury, the Company plans to rebrand to “Solana Australia Corporation”.
● Security: Initial SOL assets will be custodied with BitGo Trust Company, Inc. in the U.S. and staked through institutional-grade infrastructure.
Digital Asset Treasury
Advisors Fitell has appointed David Swaney and Cailen Sullivan as advisors to lead the Company’s digital asset treasury roadmap. Their mandate focuses on designing strategies to optimize treasury performance through decentralized finance (DeFi) opportunities, risk management frameworks, and yield innovation beyond traditional staking models.
● David Swaney has been active in the digital asset space since 2017, focusing on institutional adoption of on-chain finance. His extensive advisory and consulting experience spans treasury design, structured yield strategies, and market infrastructure.
● Cailen Sullivan has been active in the digital asset space for over a decade and was an early hire at Coinbase in 2013. Recently, he has been primarily focused on investing and supporting projects across the Solana ecosystem, and is a co-founder of Adrena, one of the leading perpetuals DEXs on Solana based on trading volume.
“We believe that digital asset treasuries are laying the blueprint for digital asset ETFs,” said David Swaney. “The ability to generate yield on assets beyond staking will be the defining differentiator, and we intend to lead this effort.”
“Our strategy focuses not only on Solana itself, but the broader ecosystem of applications being built on top. By deploying more assets on-chain, we aim to generate outsized returns, setting a new benchmark for performance in digital asset management while supporting the growth of DeFi applications on Solana,” said Cailen Sullivan.
Both advisors commented: “As advisors, we are excited to position this as the most innovative Solana-aligned treasury in the market. While scale varies among peers, our focus is value creation through capital concentration in the Solana ecosystem. By bringing assets on-chain and integrating with native projects, we believe we can deliver value to shareholders while advancing the ecosystem. Our goal is to demonstrate that strategy and alignment can rival scale and set a benchmark for Solananative treasuries.”
Sam Lu, Chief Executive Officer of Fitell Corporation, commented: “The launch of our Solana digital asset treasury positions Fitell at the forefront of Solana adoption in the regions of Australia and Asia Pacific. Our ambition to become the region’s largest publicly listed Solana holder underscores our conviction in the network’s long-term potential. With the expertise of David Swaney and Cailen Sullivan, we are excited to execute on a roadmap that combines innovation, yield generation, and disciplined risk management.” The Company will further discuss its digital asset treasury today at 4:00 p.m. ET on September 23, 2025 during a live session hosted on @MarioNawfal or @RoundtableSpace. To support initial SOL acquisitions, the Company has entered into an up to $100M convertible note facility with a U.S.-based institutional investor, of which $10M from the initial closing will be immediately deployed to purchase SOL. Rodman & Renshaw acted as exclusive placement agent for the financing. The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Company’s Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 23, 2025.

Nebeus has exceeded its crowdfunding target on Republic Europe, raising €3.6 million (122% of target) from over 430 backers. The campaign’s overfunding highlights investor appetite for regulated crypto–finance platforms at a time when markets are undergoing renewed scrutiny and institutional adoption.
The milestone comes as Bitcoin remains near multi-year highs and regulators accelerate efforts to bring digital assets under clearer frameworks, from Europe’s MiCA regulation to licensing regimes in Latin America. In this environment, investors are showing increased preference for platforms that can bridge crypto and traditional finance under a regulated model.
Why Investors Backed Nebeus Beyond Target
- Revenue traction: The company reported 6× year-on-year revenue growth in 2024, reaching €2.2M, demonstrating strong commercial adoption.
- Product growth: In 2025, Nebeus recorded 22% MoM lending growth, a 1,288% increase in loan originations quarter-over-quarter, and a 177% surge in exchange volumes, reflecting strong product-market fit and sustained user demand.
- Regulated at a critical time: Nebeus operates as a UK Electronic Money Institution and a registered Virtual Asset Service Provider in Spain and Argentina, putting it ahead of competitors still adapting to compliance requirements.
- Positioned for macro trends: With global stablecoin circulation surpassing €150 billion and the freelance economy projected to reach 1.5 billion workers by 2027, Nebeus’ combination of IBANs, crypto cards, and lending tools responds directly to shifting financial needs.
- Investor returns: Previous backers have already seen their Nebeus shares grow by 285%, strengthening confidence in the company’s growth trajectory.
Final Week: Investor Q&A with Founders
To close the campaign, Nebeus will host a live Q&A with the team on September 25th, giving prospective backers direct access to discuss growth plans and financials. Details are available on the campaign page: europe.republic.com/nebeus2.
Looking Forward
The overfunding signals growing confidence in compliance-first, integrated platforms that link traditional banking with digital assets. As regulation matures and adoption widens, Nebeus’ model reflects how the next stage of crypto–finance is being built.
About us
Nebeus is on a mission to make crypto a mainstream payment method. Founded in 2014, the company connects digital assets with traditional money through IBANs, cards, and lending solutions. With 6× revenue growth in 2024 and licenses in the UK, Spain, and Argentina, Nebeus empowers businesses, freelancers, and digital nomads with everyday payments and global payouts as it scales worldwide.

Vibecoding Meets Gaming: Anyone Can Build Licensed Multiplayer Worlds With Iconic IP leveraging Verse8 AI game platform and Story’s programmable IP infrastructure
Story, a blockchain platform for intellectual property, and Verse8, an AI-powered game creation tool, today announced a collaboration to bring Moonbirds and Azuki IP into user-generated games on the Verse8 platform. Story will serve as the licensing infrastructure, registering and managing IP usage on its Layer-1 network.
Verse8 enables users to generate multiplayer 2D and 3D games through natural language prompts without requiring coding. The platform uses proprietary technology to produce 3D assets from a single image. Despite being in beta, Verse8 reports thousands of creators and more than 800,000 monthly active users. By integrating with Story’s programmable licensing system, content created in Verse8—such as characters, quests, and environments—can be registered on-chain with attribution and revenue-sharing mechanisms for IP holders and creators.
As part of the collaboration, Moonbirds and Azuki collections will be available within Verse8’s AI-driven builder. Creators will be able to customize these IPs, incorporate them into new game environments, and monetize content through in-game purchases and branded expansions. Revenue distribution will be handled via programmable royalties recorded on Story’s blockchain. The partnership will debut at Origin Summit in Seoul on September 23, 2025. In the coming months, users will be able to launch community-made games featuring Moonbirds and Azuki characters through Verse8.
Verse8 was co-created by Jake Song, co-founder of Nexon and developer of Lineage, a leading MMORPG IP. The platform is supported by Planetarium Labs and industry partners. The collaboration with Story introduces licensed IP into AI-generated game environments with clear attribution and licensing rules enforced through smart contracts.
To showcase the power of this model, Verse8 will provide support for two of Web3’s most iconic IPs: Moonbirds and Azuki. Both collections will be registered on Story, and their IP will be natively available inside Verse8’s AI-driven game builder.
Players can remix, customize, and build with these IPs as “IP Legos,” assembling characters, quests, and game mechanics using the familiar building blocks of beloved onchain brands.
Game creators can monetize their worlds through in-game purchases or branded expansions, with revenue automatically split between the creator, the original NFT holder, and the Brand / IP owners via programmable royalties.
For example, a player could design an Azuki-themed cyberpunk battle arena with custom avatars and lore, then offer premium content like exclusive weapons or missions, while ensuring a share of that revenue flows back to Azuki’s creators and NFT holders.
This marks the first time IP holders of these NFT collections can seamlessly bring their IP into an interactive gaming format, with all usage rights, attributions, and revenue shares enforced via smart contracts on Story in the future. The partnership will debut at Origin Summit in Seoul on September 23, 2025, in the coming months, users will be able to launch community-made games featuring Moonbirds and Azuki characters powered by Verse8’s AI engine and Story’s onchain licensing system.
Building the Future of IP-Native Games
Verse8 represents a breakthrough in how IP can be activated and extended across user-generated gaming experiences. With zero-code interfaces and real-time rendering, players can build expansive game worlds, storylines, and playable quests simply by describing them in natural language. By integrating with Story, all IP used in these environments becomes traceable, licensable, and governed by clear onchain rules.
The platform joins a growing ecosystem of Story-powered applications—including Aria (music IP as real-world assets), Poseidon (AI training data layer), and the IP Portal—cementing Story’s role as the programmable IP layer for the AI era.
Integration of AI, IP, and On-Chain Licensing
The collaboration between Verse8 and Story reflects broader developments in digital entertainment and intellectual property. Intellectual property is recognized as one of the largest global asset classes but is often difficult to license and manage across platforms. Advances in artificial intelligence increase the demand for verified, rights-cleared content, while blockchain infrastructure enables automated attribution and royalty distribution. By using Story’s programmable licensing system, assets created in Verse8 can be registered, attributed, and governed on-chain, providing clarity for creators and IP holders.
S.Y. Lee, Co-Founder, Story “IP isn’t meant to sit still. With programmable infrastructure, it becomes interactive, remixable, and composable and ready for a world where culture is built by communities and powered by agents. Verse8 shows what this future looks like: a platform where anyone can create multiplayer games using the IP they love, with onchain rails that respect rights, trace value, and unlock new markets.”
Kevin Lee, CEO, Verse8: “Story gives us the missing layer we needed: trusted licensing infrastructure that works in real time, at scale, for user-generated content. With Story, every interaction in Verse8, whether it’s remixing characters, building quests, or sharing games, can now respect rights, share value, and evolve IP organically.

Ethereum-based meme coin Little Pepe (LILPEPE) has raised approximately $25.99 million during its ongoing Stage 13 presale, priced at $0.0022 per token. Operating on its own Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain, the meme-themed utility token has drawn attention for its combination of meme culture and proposed functional applications. The project’s roadmap and token allocation structure include provisions aimed at early participants while incorporating mechanisms intended to support long-term sustainability.
Tokenomics and Utility Features
Little Pepe incorporates several features intended to support its utility and ecosystem. Built on its own Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 network, the project applies a zero-trading-tax model to facilitate simplified transactions. Planned functionalities include staking mechanisms, sniper bot protection to promote equitable trading, DAO-based community governance, and the future development of a meme launchpad and NFT marketplace.
The project’s tokenomics framework centers on a capped total supply of 100 billion LILPEPE tokens. Of this, 26.5% is allocated to the ongoing presale phase. The token distribution model is structured to provide incentives for early participants while aiming to support long-term development and ecosystem growth.
The zero percent transaction tax on both purchases and sales is positioned as a measure to streamline trading and minimize transactional friction. In addition, 30% of the total token supply is designated as chain reserves to support potential expansion and infrastructure development.
To sustain user engagement, 13.5% of the token supply is allocated for staking and rewards. The project has also earmarked 10% for marketing initiatives, 10% for liquidity provisioning, and 10% for centralized exchange listings and reserves.
Presale Progress and Roadmap
The LILPEPE presale has progressed through multiple stages, with token prices incrementally increasing at each round. In the current Stage 13, LILPEPE is priced at $0.0022, with approximately 15.98 billion tokens sold to date—raising close to $26 million. Of the 17.25 billion tokens allocated through this stage, approximately 1.26 billion remain available. The fundraising target for this stage is $28.77 million. The next stage will see the token price set at $0.0023.
The project has announced several promotional initiatives targeting early participants. One promotion includes a distribution of $77,000 worth of LILPEPE tokens among ten selected participants. Another includes an ETH-based incentive, with a total of over 15 ETH allocated to the top buyers across presale stages 12 through 17. According to the project, the highest contributor may receive 5 ETH, followed by 3 ETH for the second-largest, and 2 ETH for the third. An additional 15 randomly selected contributors may receive 0.5 ETH each. Contributions of $100 or more are reportedly eligible for entry into this draw.
The project’s roadmap includes plans for centralized exchange listings, staking mechanisms, and expanded community governance via a DAO structure. According to public materials, the project aims to combine meme-based branding with utility-focused infrastructure to support long-term development.
A Meme Coin with Defined Structure
While many meme coins have gained attention through viral momentum alone, Little Pepe positions itself as a project combining internet culture with a defined development roadmap. With over $25.99 million raised during its presale, it ranks among the more prominent token launches of the year to date.
Key elements highlighted by the project include a zero percent buy and sell tax, an Ethereum Layer 2 foundation, and a roadmap that outlines forthcoming initiatives such as staking, governance, and platform features. The project’s ability to transition from presale performance to ongoing utility and liquidity will be a significant factor in its post-launch trajectory.
