OpenSea Launches Meetbit: AI Plush Toys Tie NFTs to Physical Collectibles
OpenSea has introduced Meetbit, an AI-powered plush toy project that links physical toys with blockchain-backed NFTs. The initiative blends on-chain ownership with AI-driven interactions and collectible merchandising, signaling OpenSea’s push to make NFTs more tangible and accessible to mainstream buyers and collectors.
The platform also confirmed preparations for a SEA token launch in Q1 2026, noting potential promotional and engagement opportunities around the FIFA World Cup cycle. Timing the token rollout alongside a global sporting event could boost visibility and trading activity, while raising questions about utility, partnerships, and regulatory oversight as Web3 projects pursue wider consumer markets.
