Published at 2025-11-12 22:02:13

OpenSea has introduced Meetbit, an AI-powered plush toy project that links physical toys with blockchain-backed NFTs.

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.
