Metavesco, Inc. 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. Metavesco 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.
“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.” “And yesterday, Metavesco became the first public company to have its memecoin listed on CoinGecko.”
Metavesco has a legacy of Web3 firsts, including being the first fully reporting public company to launch liquidity pools on Uniswap, the first to recognize revenue from an airdrop (ApeCoin), and the first to own a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT (the source of the ApeCoin airdrop). It was the first public company to launch a memecoin (OTCfi via Pump.fun, September 2025), the first to claim creator rewards on Pump.fun, and the first to airdrop a token to the trading community.
