Sanrio Partners with Quidd to Bring Fans Rare Digital Cuteness

Some of the world’s most popular Icons take on new roles as limited-edition digital assets via Quidd

Sanrio Inc. and Quidd are proud to announce a partnership spanning content creation and distribution for the development of limited-edition, rare digital items. Quidd, a rare, digital-goods marketplace, will create digital stickers, trading cards, and toys that will be available for purchase through its native iOS and Android applications.

The wide-ranging partnership will transform Sanrio’s iconic brands and beloved personalities into tradable, digital collectibles. With over fifty thousand unique premium goods, and over a billion and a half individually serialized items on their ledger, Quidd focuses on both the emotional and functional reasons that individuals own stuff while maintaining the largest digital goods ledger on the planet.

"As a company, this is an incredibly exciting day for us. For nearly three years, Quidd has been focused on conveying the importance of digital ownership," said Michael Bramlage, Co-Founder and CEO of Quidd. "It is far more than just economic speculation. Ownership of digital goods is about meaningful things, such as love, identity, social status, relationships, and self-expression. With the help of Sanrio, we look forward to continue to promote this message with the assistance of Hello Kitty and others in the Sanrio family."

Founded in 2015, Quidd introduces scarcity and serendipity into the digital retail experience. In transforming iconic characters, like Hello Kitty, Aggretsuko, Gudetama, or Keroppi, into rare and fun collectibles, Quidd makes the act of acquiring digital toys as much fun as playing, flaunting or trading them with friends.

The Sanrio first edition releases are now available via the Quidd iOS and Android applications. (Download Here)
