CANADA Joe Coin ($JOE) has acquired full IP rights to the iconic 20-year-old meme character EmotiGuy, marking a first in meme coin history and paving the way for brand expansion.
Joe Coin ($JOE), the viral meme cryptocurrency, has officially acquired the full intellectual property rights to EmotiGuy, one of the longest-running and most widely recognized meme characters in internet history.
Originally created in 2005 by Daz3D, EmotiGuy has been a fixture in online culture for nearly two decades — appearing in billions of memes, social posts, gaming chats, and viral moments across the internet. Now, the character is officially owned by the Joe Coin ecosystem, opening the door to large-scale brand expansion.
The acquisition marks a first for the meme coin space — no other project has secured the full rights to a 20-year-old viral meme with global recognition. With full creative and commercial control, $JOE plans to expand EmotiGuy into merchandise, collectibles, licensing deals, gaming, and real-world brand activations.
Since its launch in November 2023, $JOE has grown into a thriving community-driven project, reaching an all-time-high market cap of over $80 million. This strategic IP acquisition signals the next phase in its evolution — transforming from a digital asset into a global cultural brand.
