(OTC: MVCO), a diversified holding company and the architect of the growing OTCfi ecosystem, today congratulated DeFi Dev Corp on the launch of its DONT memecoin, marking DeFi Dev Corp as the second publicly traded company to launch a memecoin.\r\nMetavesco made history in September 2025 when it became the first publicly traded company to launch a memecoin, OTCfi, via Pump.fun on the Solana blockchain. The company also became the first public company to claim creator rewards on Pump.fun and the first to execute a community token airdrop to retail traders.\r\n\"We welcome DeFi Dev Corp to the public company memecoin space,\" said Ryan Schadel, CEO of Metavesco. \"Competition validates the thesis. When a Nasdaq company follows the path we pioneered on the OTC, it proves that innovation doesn't require a big board listing, it just requires vision and execution. We were first, and we're proud of that.\"\r\nA Legacy of Web3 Firsts\r\nMetavesco has established a consistent track record as a first mover in the intersection of public markets and blockchain innovation:\r\n\r\n First fully reporting public company to launch liquidity pools on Uniswap\r\n First public company to recognize revenue from an airdrop (ApeCoin)\r\n First public company to own a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT (the source of the ApeCoin airdrop)\r\n First public company to launch a memecoin (OTCfi via Pump.fun, September 2025)\r\n First public company to claim creator rewards on Pump.fun\r\n First public company to airdrop a token to the trading community\r\n \r\n \"And of course yesterday, as announced, Metavesco became the first public company to have its memecoin listed on CoinGecko. Innovation happens everywhere, not just on the big boards,\" Schadel added. \"The OTC has over 10,000 securities and a passionate retail trading community. We've proven that companies down here can lead, not follow. We'll keep building, and we'll keep being first.\"\r\nKey Dates in Metavesco's Memecoin Timeline:\r\n\r\n August 26, 2025: Metavesco releases...
