Fanable by Ethernal Labs, a Web3 marketplace focused on Pokémon, comic books, and digital collectibles, has successfully raised $11.5 million to accelerate its growth and expand its ecosystem. Backed by notable entities including Michael Rubin (founder of Fanatics), Ripple, Steel Perlot, Polygon, and Morningstar, Fanable is now a key player in the collectibles sector.
The platform is partnering with the Collect Foundation to initiate a point farming campaign for the upcoming $COLLECT token, enhancing utility and community engagement within the collectibles market.
Fanable is rapidly becoming a hub for collectors and enthusiasts, recording over 20,000 sales transactions with a 100% monthly growth rate, aiming to streamline the buying, selling, and trading of physical and digital collectibles. The investment will support platform enhancements, global reach, and the introduction of Web3-native features designed to enhance user connections with their collections.
Building the World’s Largest Pokémon Ecosystem
The funding will also propel the expansion of Fanable’s Pokémon ecosystem. In collaboration with Brinks, users around the globe can buy, sell, and trade sought-after Pokémon and collectible cards in both crypto and fiat currencies (credit cards). The Fanable app is available on both the iOS App Store and Google Play Store, pushing for rapid adoption as a collectible product.
The $COLLECT token is crafted to offer community-driven rewards, trading incentives, and governance opportunities within the Fanable ecosystem. The launch of point farming allows early users to earn rewards that will significantly influence the Collect Foundation’s future token release: points.fanable.io.
This point farming initiative provides the community a substantial stake compared to traditional VC resources, promoting the ethos of Web3 and the collectibles communities.
“This is a major step forward to bridge the worlds of collectibles and Web3,” said Steve D’Agostino, CEO of the Collect Foundation. “The launch of the $COLLECT token farming campaign is just the beginning of how we’re creating new value for collectors on Fanable.”
The successful fundraising highlights the confidence in Fanable’s vision to redefine how fans interact with their favorite collectibles. It merges the nostalgia of Pokémon and trading cards with the advances of blockchain, paving the way for a new era of fandom and digital ownership.
