This Ramadan, MBC GROUP, is releasing seven (7) super rare NFTs from its Fananees (NFT) Genesis Collection – to be auctioned at OpenSea – thus leveraging modern technology like the blockchain. The “Legendary” rarity release of the seven (7) characters consists of individual Fananees (NFT) with properties of the highest rarity of 0.01 – 0.07%.
MBC GROUP, the largest and leading media group in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), had initially announced the Fananees (NFT) Genesis Collection offering over 200 different attributes with varying rarity levels in March 2022, in partnership with ANCORE Strategy — a technology and marketing advisory firm based in Zurich, Switzerland; and AFTERMEDIA — the commercial and business development media company. The NFT collection is purposely released in the month of Ramadan, celebrating the MENA region’s diverse and rich cultural heritage.
The Fananees (NFT) Genesis Collection serves the growing NFT community in the MENA region, offering fans an opportunity to own their favorite characters as digital collectibles. The Fananees (NFT) illustrations are created by a reputable graphic and motion design agency behind famous Paramount and Nickelodeon cartoons.
Commenting on The Fananees (NFT) Genesis Collectibles release, Fadel Zahreddine, Group Director of Emerging Media at MBC GROUP said:
“’Fananees’ is one of the most successful and well-known animations in the Arab world, with some of the most recognisable characters. In this era of constant innovation, we want to be at the forefront of emerging opportunities in NFTs, blockchain, and the metaverse. We are committed to driving innovation, and I’m optimistic that this first step into the NFT age will pave the way for MBC GROUP to expand its presence in the realm of digital IPs.”
At a later point, the Fananees NFTs will be integrated into MBC GROUP’s existing games. Additionally, NFT holders will be entitled to incredible offline benefits, connected to MBC GROUP’s ever expanding media ecosystem
In the same context, Pavel Jakovlev, ANCORE Strategy’s Founder and Managing Partner, said:
“It is exciting to help drive the NFTs strategy for MBC GROUP. The “Fananees” TV Series is already popular in MENA, garnering millions of views during Ramadan. The launch of the Fananees Genesis Collectibles is monumental for NFTs in the region, especially as we explore how Fananees will be integrated in gaming and possibly, even more use cases in the metaverse.”
