Press Release

Kingstown, St Vincent and the Grenadines, October 9th, 2025, Chainwire

Fanable by Ethernal Labs, a Web3 marketplace for Pokémon, comic books, and digital collectibles, has successfully achieved $11.5 million in backing to accelerate growth and expand its ecosystem. Fanable - developed by Ethernal Labs - is backed by Michael Rubin (founder of Fanatics), Ripple, Steel Perlot, Polygon, Borderless, Morningstar, and others.

Alongside this milestone, Fanable is partnering with the Collect Foundation to launch a point farming campaign for the upcoming $COLLECT token, bringing new utility and community engagement to the collectibles economy

Fanable has quickly become a hub for collectors and enthusiasts, with the app reaching over 20,000 sales transactions, growing at a 100% monthly rate, and offering a seamless way to buy, sell, and trade both physical and digital collectibles. The capital will fuel platform development, global expansion, and the introduction of Web3-native features that deepen the connection between fans and their collections.

Building the World's Biggest Pokémon Ecosystem

The capital, in particular, is being used to fuel the growth of Fanable's Pokémon ecosystem. In partnership with Brinks, anyone across the world can buy, sell, trade, and collect the most desirable Pokémon and other collectible cards, with both crypto and fiat (credit cards). Mass availability via the Fanable iOS App Store and Google Play Store apps, or the Fanable web app, makes the platform ready for the fastest adoption record for any collectibles product to date.

The $COLLECT token is designed to unlock community-driven rewards, trading incentives, and future governance opportunities within the Fanable ecosystem. With point farming going live now, early participants can earn rewards that will play a central role in the Collect Foundation’s upcoming token launch: points.fanable.io

The point farming offers a fair, distributed opportunity to the community, offering far more stake in the ecosystem than even available to any VC. This is in line with the beliefs of the Web3 and collectibles communities

"This is a major step forward to bridge the worlds of collectibles and Web3," said Steve D’Agostino, CEO of 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 $11.5M raise reflects growing confidence in Fanable’s vision to reimagine how fans engage with their favorite collectibles. By combining the nostalgia of Pokémon and trading cards with the innovation of blockchain, Fanable is pioneering the next chapter of fandom and digital ownership.
