Pokmi Earns 1st Industry Awards Win From 2022 XBIZ Honors

PARIS — Adult crypto and NFT service Pokmi is celebrating its 2022 XBIZ Honors win for "Emerging Web Brand of the Year."

The winners were revealed during a ceremony honoring top business execs, and select web/tech categories from the flagship XBIZ Awards, that capped Day Three of the XBIZ 2022 trade show in Hollywood Wednesday night.

"The new decentralized streaming platform and NFT marketplace for adult’s brightest stars and their fans made quite the splash earlier this year with a highly anticipated launch, featuring its own native currency for Pokmi users, Pokens," noted a rep.

"Pokmi offers its users the unique opportunity to collect and trade physical and virtual goods, content and services via its exclusive marketplace, bolstered by the popularity of its brand ambassadors," the rep added, "including adult superstars Maitland Ward, Kayden Kross, Abella Danger, Manuel Ferrara and Lane V. Rogers."

Co-founders and co-CEOs Marco Garniga and Nils Lataillade expressed excitement for the recognition.

"Much thanks and so much gratitude to XBIZ for selecting us as 2022’s 'Emerging Web Brand of the Year,'" the duo announced in a joint statement.

"This is our very first awards nomination and win, so this XBIZ trophy is incredibly special to us and we are so pleased to earn so much praise and appreciation seven months on from our official launch," they added. "Thank you so much for your support!”
