RECUR Announces Strategic Partnership with Sanrio Bringing the Hello Kitty Iconic Brand into the Digital Collectible Space
RECUR announced a strategic partnership with iconic brand, Hello Kitty, to create a fan-focused platform that will bring the beloved character to the NFT space for the very first time.
RECUR is eco-friendly and blockchain agnostic, ultimately enabling the Hello Kitty NFTs to be interoperable across chains. The Hello Kitty experience and NFTs will be available beginning in Q1 of 2022.
Silvia Figini, Chief Operating Officer, Sanrio – EMEA, India and Oceania, Mr Men – Worldwide said: “To explore this new and innovative business is for us a big challenge. For Sanrio, stepping into the NFT space adds a new way of being part of contemporary culture and provides our fans a new way to enjoy our brand.”
Additionally, RECUR is announcing its first proprietary NFT that will be available for purchase on December 9th. The NFT, a “Portal Pass,” will offer early access to RECUR’s entire IP library and experiences, among other forms of utility. RECUR has already amassed some of the largest fan bases of IP in the world with Hello Kitty as the latest addition. The RECUR Pass will be available to purchase for 24 hours only, offering a unique and limited opportunity for fans to establish themselves as early RECUR community members.
“Sometimes you may find yourself thinking 'I wish I could have been there when it happened.' Well, we are excited to share with our community that the RECUR Portal Pass is your chance,” say co-founders Zach Bruch and Trevor George. "Through this one day, 24-hour sale, you will receive early access to what will be some of the greatest digital collectibles for generations to come, and that’s only the beginning. We are excited to be able to share our roadmap, one that features unbelievably extensive utility considering who our IP & collectible partners are.”
