Pawthereum

Pawthereum is a memecoin. It was created in October 2021, and runs on the Ethereum network. A percentage of every transaction is donated to animal-related charities.

History

The Pawthereum Foundation was formed in the Netherlands. Pawthereum was originally known as GRUMPY, based on Grumpy Cat. In March 2021, the Grumpy Cat Coin project donated $70,000 in crypto funds to Sterling Animal Shelter. GRUMPY was converted into Pawthereum after a lawsuit by the owners of Grumpy Cat. $70,000 in crypto funds were donated to Sterling Animal Shelter under the Grumpy name.
Donations under the Pawthereum name include 26 ETH, valued at around $120,000 at the time, to Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home. Another was $50,000 to Four Paws USA, done as a matching donation on Giving Tuesday. The project also made a donation valued at $50,000 to Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary.
Canadian businessman Kevin O'Leary has repeatedly endorsed the project.
