Victoria, Seychelles – KuCoin, a leading global cryptocurrency trading platform, announced that its venture capital arm KuCoin Ventures makes a strategic investment in Pixie, the world’s first fully functional crypto-based photo and video sharing social network in Web3 with the SocialFi concept.
Pixie is an entertaining social media platform that can let users earn cryptocurrency. Like a web3 version of TikTok and Instagram, Pixie took the lead in realizing SocialFi in the world. Through NFT technology, users in Pixie will obtain all rights to their digital content such as ownership. With the help of NFT technology, Pixie is a pioneer in protecting copyright for digital content from the start of the initial creation of the content.
The new funding by KuCoin Ventures announced today will be used to support Pixie’s team expansion and many other aspects, such as product, technology, and security to improve its user experience and launch more innovative products.
Justin Chou, the Chief Investment Officer of KuCoin, said: “Pixie has a fully functional and highly competitive product that users can download at any time on the app store. Pixie will make tremendous and continuous profit through advertising, which means Pixie is quite different from the project relying on more paid users joining. As a web3 version of Instagram or Tiktok, I think pixie has an enormous imaginative space in the future.”
Amjad Suleman, the Chief Business Officer of Pixie, said: “Pixie is built on the idea that the public will wake up to the fact that multinational social media companies are making billions from their content, and they will not see a penny of it. Using our world-leading knowledge in blockchain technology, we have built what we believe is the world’s first SocialFi network. Ensuring users have true ownership of their content is at the foundation of Pixie, and we hope it sparks the beginning of the ‘socialize to earn’ era. The investment is vital to Pixie’s next step expansion. It is an honor to receive the investment from KuCoin. With their support, we will work to further enhance the SocialFi ecosystem and facilitate the free flow of asset values.”
