THE LAUNCH OF HELICONNFT

Placing the power back into the hands of the gamer, HeliconNFT is a new vision of how a DeFi, NFT and gaming platform should be. HeliconNFT is a new online universe, combining a gaming Metaverse with an NFT buying & trading platform that provides real rewards where you can play, mine and earn to become the master of a new market. Alongside the platform launch was the launch of Helicon Studio and Helicon Media, new wave content and information outlets designed to provide exceptional quality viewer content alongside industry-leading experiences.


At the launch HeliconNFT announced global partnerships with UK-based Bad Fox Studios and Fundamentally Games, met as HeliconNFT held recent discussions with the UK’s gaming and interactive entertainment trade association Ukie, to provide custom gaming options for future players and integrate existing gaming greats into the platform.


BLOCKCHAIN AND THE FUTURE OF THE UAE

The UAE has always been a visionary throughout the last 50 years, driving innovation across both the region and the world. Both Abu Dhabi and Dubai have been blockchain and fintech enthusiasts, aiming to save millions of hours of manpower whilst providing a more efficient, safer and greener form of government and administration, alongside providing key business drivers, such as the SCA and DWTCA agreement on crypto asset licensing, and investing in all things cryptoverse and metaverse. Most recently, Mubadala Investment Company announced their interest in the crypto eco system, with CEO and Managing Director Khaldoon Al Mubarak stating an interview with CNBC, “I think it (crypto) is real. This is a business that had $200 billion worth of value two years ago, and is $2.5 trillion value today and growing. So while many people are sceptics, I do not fall in that category.”


Since 2013 when the “Smart Dubai Initiative” was first introduced by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai to transform Dubai into a smart city, his aim was to provide better quality of life to all by harnessing future tech, which we see now in the Dubai, Blockchain Strategy 2020 and Emirates Blockchain Strategy

The crypto world has a new viral disruptor: $VPN, a memecoin with a name that turns heads and a strategy that turns momentum into community. Unlike traditional VPNs (“Virtual Private Networks”), this VPN stands for Vagina Penis Network. The result is a meme-powered project that blends internet culture, social irreverence, and ironic utility into one fast-growing token. Now crossing 3,000 holders and expanding rapidly, $VPN captures the chaotic spirit of the internet. The team is openly tapping into the most viral meta of 2025: anatomy meets anonymity. This alignment has sparked a wave of “VEEPEEN” memes that now fuel much of the project’s viral energy. A Meme That Understands the Internet At its core, $VPN is a double entendre. It hijacks the acronym most associated with encrypted browsing and redefines it through the lens of raw, meme-ready branding. It is this intentional contrast (between data protection and digital depravity) that has made $VPN impossible to ignore. $VPN stands out for its cultural awareness and total commitment to internet-native humor. Gaining Traction and Market Attention Despite its absurd premise, $VPN is showing real momentum. Backed by high-engagement KOLs and degen communities, the token has evolved from a joke into a serious contender. Early buyers are aligning not just with a token but with a brand that openly challenges crypto’s tendency toward sameness. With viral growth, mounting attention, and talk of future listings, there’s a lot of hype around VPN. In fact, people in the space now cite $VPN as a potential $100 million market cap breakout. Built for the Post-Ironic Web3 Era The project’s tagline (“The only protection you need”) sums up its self-aware design. While traditional VPNs offer encrypted access and privacy, this $VPN offers something more abstract: a mirror to how crypto, memes, and culture collide in 2025. The VPN team is working to go beyond the mere memecoin definition. In fact, this project is more of a commentary wrapped in community. The idea is powered by people who understand that the internet rewards contradiction and commits to the bit. About VPN VPN (Vagina Penis Network) is a community-driven memecoin launched as a provocative fusion of privacy culture and viral internet branding. By reinterpreting the acronym VPN, the project builds its identity on contrast, chaos, and cultural resonance. With over 3,000 holders and rapid growth, $VPN has positioned itself as a standout token in the Web3 memecoin space. It is not a protocol; it is a performance. A decentralized brand for those who understand the power of memes, meta, and momentum. The project’s meme culture continues to expand across platforms, driven in part by the growing popularity of the “VEEPEEN” meme trend. Anyone curious to learn more about this project can check out the founder's official announcement and VPN's DexScreener page below. Website | X (Twitter) Official Announcement | $VPN on DexScreener
