April Fools: Teletubbies Cryptocurrency

On April 1st, the Teletubbies’ official Twitter account announced the arrival of the TubbyCoin BigHugs! Token. Considering the Teletubbies’ non-cryptocurrency background, this came as a surprise to many Twitter users. As per Teletubbies’ request, most online discussions use the #TubbyCoin hashtag.

According to the Teletubbies, the currency uses “Hugtech” which makes it more valuable based on the number of Tweets that use #TubbyCoin. It was created by WildBrain Labs, a department of child-entertainment company WildBrain.
