Beezie Brings Tokenized Collectibles to Solana

Boston, MAThe collectibles platform with $142M+ ARR, 540,000+ claw pulls, and $100M+ in Base volume is expanding its full marketplace infrastructure to Solana, with all inventory secured in institutional-grade vaults.

Beezie, the collectibles marketplace that tokenizes physical graded cards, sealed product, sneakers, and other collectibles into instantly tradable digital assets, today announced the expansion of its platform to the Solana ecosystem in Q2 2026.

Beezie’s full product suite, including its Claw Machines, marketplace, and vaulting infrastructure, initially launched on Flow and expanded to Base, where it reached $100 million in volume, and is now coming to Solana as part of its broader multichain strategy, making Beezie seamlessly accessible to collectors across the chains they already use.

Beezie enters Solana with established onchain activity and real collector participation. The platform has processed 540,000+ claw pulls and executed 530,000+ instant buyback swaps, a ~90% buyback rate designed to keep liquidity circulating within the platform. Graded items are authenticated by PSA, BGS, or CGC, with all inventory secured in institutional-grade vaults and available for physical redemption anywhere in the world. Thousands of collectors, many of whom were new to crypto, have already redeemed and shipped items through the platform.

“Beezie was built on a simple belief: collecting should feel fun again, ownership should be real, and liquidity should be instant. Our goal is to touch every single person onchain and bring millions more with them,” said Andrea Miele, CEO of Beezie. “Solana is where the next wave of collectors will find us, and we’re bringing our proven collectibles experience and introducing new verticals, such as luxury goods.”

The Product Behind the Platform

Beezie’s product is live, with authenticated inventory secured through institutional-grade third-party custody and active collector participation across chains.

Since expanding to Base, Beezie has crossed $100 million in volume, a $142M ARR. The platform’s flagship feature is The Claw Machine, a 24/7 arcade-style experience where collectors pay $30 to $500 per pull for curated inventory including graded Pokémon cards, sealed TCG boxes, One Piece slabs, sneakers, Labubus, and memorabilia. Every pull has transparent odds, runs in real time, and is verifiable onchain. Beezie’s SWAP lets users instantly trade any pull for up to 90% of fair market value within a 15-minute window. That introduces a defined liquidity floor on eligible pulls. To date, Beezie has processed 540,000+ pulls and 530,000+ swaps. The structure is designed to recycle liquidity back into the ecosystem.

The Marketplace operates peer-to-peer. Listed items are authenticated, graded by PSA, BGS, or CGC where applicable, and secured via third-party vaulting. Ownership transfers digitally while the physical asset remains stored until redemption, reducing settlement friction and counterparty exposure. Beezie ships globally with full insurance.

Beezie recently launched the Points Vault, a new feature that gives platform points real utility. Collectors earn points through daily check-ins, claw plays, swaps, and marketplace activity, then spend them during limited-time Vault openings redeem points for rewards including discount codes, free Claw pulls, graded cards, and sealed products.

“The Points Vault rewards collectors who have been with us since day one. We want to give back to our community in more meaningful ways, turning platform activity into real products like grails, sealed boxes, and free pulls,” said Pratik Kadam, Chief Product Officer at Beezie.

Beezie is backed by Moonrock Capital, Devmons, Legendary, Techstars and Adam Cochran, with early investment from Roham Gharegozlou, CEO of Dapper Labs.

Why Solana

Solana processes over 3,000 transactions per second at a fraction of a cent per transaction, making it one of the highest-throughput chains in production. Daily active addresses regularly exceed 2 million, and the chain has become the default for consumer-facing crypto products across payments, gaming, and DePIN.

The collectibles vertical is already moving onchain, and Solana is where the liquidity sits. Over $150 million in tokenized trading card volume has traded on the chain in the past year alone, and the category is growing week over week. For a platform like Beezie that processes 540,000+ claw pulls and runs a peer-to-peer marketplace with real inventory, settlement speed and transaction cost matter at every layer.

Beezie enters Solana with a live product generating $142M ARR, and a collector base that is already active across chains. Beezie’s expansion strategy has always been built around one principle: meeting collectors where they are — whether on Flow, Base, Solana, or Web2. As a result the door gets wider for every collector onchain and offchain. 

“Solana is where the next wave of collectors will find us, and we are bringing our proven collectibles experience and introducing exciting new verticals, such as luxury goods,” said Andrea Miele, CEO of Beezie.

Alongside the Solana expansion, Beezie is introducing luxury goods as a new onchain collectible category. Beezie is also taking the collector experience offline at the Beezie Card Show in Korea on May 16–17, 2026, which brings together traditional card vendors, Web3 communities including the Solana ecosystem, and casual collectors under one roof in Suwon. The event features a live physical claw machine activation, exclusive drops, and on-site Beezie experiences, marking a new chapter in how Beezie brings onchain collecting into the physical world.

“Solana was built for consumer-scale applications. We welcome Beezie to the Solana ecosystem – the platform brings dedicated users, significant trading volume, and a collector experience that works at the speed traders expect.” – Pedro Miranda, Head of Consumer, Solana Foundation

The Bigger Picture

The collectibles industry is valued at over $496 billion and growing at an estimated 7.4% CAGR, with projections reaching $535 to $628 billion by 2031. The trading card market alone hit $7.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $16.9 billion by 2035. Gen Z drives 56% of all collectibles spending.

Pokémon cards have outpaced the S&P 500 by 3,000% over the past 20 years. Logan Paul’s Pikachu Illustrator card sold through Goldin auctions for $16.5 million in February 2026, up from $5.275 million in 2021. A complete 1st Edition Pokémon Base Set in PSA 10 went for $911,629 in late 2025, a 660% increase from its 2020 valuation. Sealed vintage products across categories have shown 22% compound annual growth over 25 years.

Most of this market still settles through eBay listings, in-person meetups, and manual processes. Tokenized real-world assets are scaling. Consumer crypto infrastructure has matured to the point where blockchain is invisible to the end user. Beezie sits where all three meet, making physical collectibles liquid onchain with institutional-grade custody.

About Beezie

The platform tokenizes physical items, vaults them through institutional-grade secure storage, and enables instant global trading. Beezie is backed by Techstars, Moonrock Capital, and counts Roham Gharegozlou, CEO of Dapper Labs, as an early investor. For more information, visit beezie.com.

Uk Financial Moonshot Token Acquires Mayacoin, Carrying Forward Its Blockchain History Since 2018 & Files To Replace Mayacoin’s CMC Listing

London, UK (PinionNewswire)MAYACOIN HISTORY STRENGTHENS UK FINANCIAL MOONSHOT TOKEN

MAYACOIN HISTORY STRENGTHENS UK FINANCIAL MOONSHOT TOKEN

The move brings approximately 6,289 existing token holders, an eight-year blockchain history, verified source code, and a current security review showing zero risky items and zero attention items into the UK Financial Moonshot Token story.

WhatsApp Image 2026 09 10 at 1.09.36 PM Uk Financial Moonshot Token Acquires Mayacoin, Carrying Forward Its Blockchain History Since 2018 & Files To Replace Mayacoin's CMC Listing

UKFLMS currently trades through the Moonshot App and FOMO App, with expansion to the Robinhood Chain planned next—officially establishing UKFLMS as a multi-chain token.

UK Financial Ltd announces that UK Financial Moonshot Token (MAYA) has acquired and is carrying forward the established blockchain history of Maya Coin (MAYA), originally launched in 2018.

The move connects UK Financial Moonshot Token with an established cryptocurrency project that has operated on-chain for approximately eight years rather than positioning Moonshot as a project beginning from zero.

The original Maya Coin Ethereum contract currently reflects approximately 6,289 token holders and a total supply of 250,000,000 MAYA.

Original Maya Coin Contract:

0x14468FF6b324f1C5A869e62B9C442846e7D0baf1

UK Financial Moonshot Token Address:

EuwTQRtAQQe3FjvVMXepm8vrw3CLpRoQSoEpv6Fomoon

The original Maya Coin contract also maintains a strong current security profile. Its latest reviewed security information shows:

  • 0 risky items
  • 0 attention items
  • Verified source code / exact match
  • No proxy contract detected
  • No mint function detected
  • No hidden owner detected
  • No ownership-retrieval function detected
  • No owner balance-changing authority detected
  • No self-destruct function detected
  • No external-call risk detected
  • No gas-abuse activity detected
  • Creator holdings: 0
  • Owner holdings: 0

 

UK Financial Ltd has also submitted an update request to CoinMarketCap regarding the transition from Maya Coin to UK Financial Moonshot Token, preserving the MAYA symbol while updating the project’s current identity and information.

WhatsApp Image 2026 09 10 at 1.09.36 PM 1 Uk Financial Moonshot Token Acquires Mayacoin, Carrying Forward Its Blockchain History Since 2018 & Files To Replace Mayacoin's CMC Listing

POSITIONING MOONSHOT FOR THE NEXT LEVEL

Because of this move, UK Financial Ltd believes UK Financial Moonshot Token is now positioned more strongly for consideration by larger, established cryptocurrency exchanges and trading platforms, beyond the apps, launch platforms and liquidity-based venues where the token has initially developed its market presence.

The strategy is to move Moonshot progressively toward full exchange-based trading infrastructure, where buyers and sellers can participate through traditional cryptocurrency exchange markets rather than relying exclusively on liquidity pools, bonding curves or launchpad environments.

The company’s longer-term multi-chain strategy may also include expansion to ecosystems such as Robinhood Chain, subject to applicable blockchain deployment requirements, platform policies and any required exchange or ecosystem approvals.

The significance of this transaction is straightforward: 

UK Financial Moonshot Token is no longer presenting itself simply as a newly launched token. It now carries forward the history of Maya Coin dating back to 2018, thousands of holders, a verified on-chain contract record and an established place within the history of the UK Financial Ltd digital-asset ecosystem.

A NEW NAME. AN EIGHT-YEAR BLOCKCHAIN HISTORY. THE NEXT CHAPTER BEGINS.

The first Latin American skincare brand with dual EcoCert Cosmos Organic and MyMicrobiome certification enters Uruguay through 50 Farmashop locations and beauty flagship Häven, less than two years after its Argentina debut.

HELENA, The Spirit of Beauty, the premium biotech skincare brand founded by Ibana Almada Vera, today announced its official launch in Uruguay, the country where the brand’s own GMP-certified manufacturing facility, Waskul S.A., is located inside the Costa Oriental Free Trade Zone. The Uruguay launch marks the beginning of HELENA’s international expansion beyond Argentina, with the United States and Brazil to follow.

Since its 2025 debut in Argentina, HELENA has built rapid and consistent momentum across the country’s most demanding beauty and dermatology channels. The brand is now present in more than 100 premium pharmacies, including the leading national chain Farmacity, and operates two flagship experiential stores at Alto Palermo (Buenos Aires) and Alto Rosario Shopping, two of Argentina’s most important premium retail destinations. HELENA has also established itself as one of the new leading recommended brands among Argentine dermatologists, backed by clinical hydration data, biotech-driven formulations, and a minimalist ingredient philosophy that respects the skin’s microbiome.

Uruguay launch: 50 Farmashop pharmacies and Häven flagship

HELENA’s Uruguay launch will be anchored by two strategic retail partnerships:

  • Farmashop, Uruguay’s leading pharmacy chain, will introduce HELENA across an initial network of 50 stores, offering the brand’s core skincare line nationwide from the first day of launch.
  • Häven, one of Uruguay’s premier beauty flagship stores, will carry the full HELENA collection with dedicated brand experience space, curated consultations, and the signature HELENA sensorial ritual.

 

“Launching in Uruguay is a homecoming for HELENA,” said Ibana Almada Vera, Founder & CEO. “Our formulations are conceived and produced here, at our own Waskul factory, in one of the most advanced free-trade zones in the region. Being able to bring HELENA to Uruguayan consumers, in partnership with Farmashop and Häven, is a source of enormous pride for the entire team.”

A Latin American first, recognized internationally

HELENA is the first skincare brand in Latin America to hold dual certification as both EcoCert Cosmos Organic & Natural (France) and Microbiome Friendly (Germany), a distinction highlighted in international press coverage including Cosmetics Business (UK), which noted that “HELENA sets a new standard in Latin America with dual certification from MyMicrobiome and EcoCert.” Local press coverage includes a feature in Forbes Argentina, describing HELENA’s strategy as “biotechnology and accessible ‘new luxury’ to disrupt the skincare business,” and features in L’Officiel Argentina alongside global brands including Kiehl’s and Chanel.

The brand is anchored by the proprietary STLONGSense7™ biomimetic molecule, developed in-house at Waskul, with clinically-tested 120-hour hydration performance. The full HELENA line comprises six core skincare formulations and three signature ampoule references, all vegan-formulated and free of parabens, sulfates, silicones, and synthetic fragrance.

Regional expansion continues

Following the Uruguay launch, HELENA has planned market entries into Brazil (Q2 2027) and the United States, with active pipeline conversations across premium beauty retailers, dermatology chains, and specialty distributors.
