PUNKVISM Holdings, led by Hyunki Hwang, co-founder of Metakongz and one of the key figures from Korea’s early blockchain boom, is drawing renewed attention with a new Web3 initiative. PUNKVISM announced on the 29th that it has signed an official agreement with Teddy Bear Korea, the company behind the globally recognized Teddy Bear IP, to release the “Cypherpunk Teddy Bear” Limited Edition collection.
The concept behind the collaboration can be summarized in one sentence: “Technology may be cold, but its purpose is protection.”
Built upon Teddy Bear Korea’s global character IP, Cypherpunk Teddy Bear introduces a new narrative universe centered on a cypherpunk bear armed with Bitcoin and cryptographic technology. In this story, the character serves as an “encrypted guardian,” protecting a child’s dreams, memories, and promises until the very end.
This message — that cold technology exists to protect what is warmest — closely aligns with PUNKVISM’s founding philosophy: to protect individual ownership, assets, and rights through decentralized systems without reliance on large intermediaries.
PUNKVISM has already built a strong community known as Punkyvist around its flagship IP, PunkyKongz. With the addition of the globally familiar Teddy Bear IP, the collaboration is expected to create a new stage where both fandoms can naturally intersect.
The limited edition will be issued in a random box format. Each box may include various physical collectibles such as TCG cards based on the Cypherpunk Teddy universe, limited-edition hoodies, plush toys, art toys, and additional seasonal lineup items. Rather than being simple character merchandise, the collection is designed as a meaningful collectible embedded with the guardian narrative of “protecting what matters most,” appealing to both nostalgia-driven adult collectors and new Web3 users.
The collection will be issued through a legitimate licensing structure via PUNKVISM’s Indonesian subsidiary, in which PUNKVISM holds a 99% stake. The company has also obtained an official legal opinion from a top-tier Korean law firm stating that the business model does not constitute an investment contract security under Korea’s Capital Markets Act.
One of the strongest differentiators of the collection is its direct connection to Ambassador League, PUNKVISM’s upcoming global marketing platform. Holders who purchase the random box will automatically qualify to participate in Ambassador League. By completing marketing missions designated by the platform — including content creation, social media promotion, reviews, and community activities — participants can receive Cypherpunk Teddy game item skins for use in the PUNKVISM Game Arena as legitimate rewards for their marketing contributions.
Assets within the Game Arena will be permanently assigned to holders’ wallets, enabling ownership, transferability, and secondary trading — unlike conventional game items that disappear when a server shuts down. In this structure, the value of a limited-edition collectible can expand into ambassador marketing activity and then into game-based digital assets, creating a single-IP flywheel that connects multiple layers of the PUNKVISM ecosystem.
Hyunki Hwang, CEO of PUNKVISM, said “The moment I first saw the concept of Cypherpunk Teddy created together with Teddy Bear Korea; I felt that this IP expressed the essence of PUNKVISM in one simple sentence — something we have long tried to explain to people. By adding the identity of an ‘encrypted guardian’ to the Teddy Bear IP, which has been loved around the world, we found a way to visualize our message in the most intuitive and warm-hearted way.”
He added “This limited edition is not merely about selling collectible goods. It will become the first clear case that demonstrates the joy of collecting, fair rewards for marketing participation through Ambassador League, and digital rights that remain as permanent assets within the Game Arena.”
PUNKVISM is a Web3 virtual nation ecosystem inspired by the cypherpunk ethos, aiming to enable participants to directly own their assets without dependence on centralized intermediaries. With PUNKVISM Holdings as its parent company in Korea, the project is developing its global RWA business through a legally structured and transparent model via its Indonesian subsidiary.
The project has obtained a PVT blue verification badge on CoinMarketCap, completed listings on global exchanges including MEXC and KuCoin, and has been recognized as a Forbes RWA innovator. PUNKVISM has also established partnerships with KODA for custody, Naver Cloud, AhnLab Blockchain Company, and KOVAN.
Through successful offline-linked RWA references such as the Fierce Haetch Arcade RWA sell-out, Ronaldinho RWA show execution, BIBI pop-up store, and RWA collaborations with four F&B stores at N Seoul Tower (Namsan Tower), PUNKVISM continues to expand its real-world asset ecosystem beyond digital collectibles.
