Miss Universe Organization Disassociates from Miss Universe Coin Project Amid Fraud Concerns


The Miss Universe Organization has distanced itself from the Miss Universe Coin project, which was announced at the Philippine Blockchain Week (PBW) event earlier this month. The organization clarified that it has no connection with the coin project and labeled it as fraudulent.


Key developments related to this situation include:


  • PBW Announcement: During the PBW event, Donald Lim, the founder of the organization managing PBW, announced the launch of the Miss Universe Coin project.

  • Miss Universe Denial: The Miss Universe Organization officially disassociated itself from the coin project, stating that there is no Miss Universe cryptocurrency or blockchain offering. It emphasized that these products have no involvement in the voting or selection process for the Miss Universe or Miss Universe Philippines pageants.

  • Legal Action: The organization expressed its intent to pursue all legal options with regard to the infringement associated with the Miss Universe Coin project.

  • Fraud Allegations: A representative from the Miss Universe Organization labeled the Miss Universe Coin as fraudulent. They warned that the project may be presented at upcoming blockchain conferences in Dubai and Singapore, urging media outlets not to cover it if mentioned.

  • PBW Response: PBW responded to the situation, stating that it is currently in contact with all parties involved and will provide an update soon.


The Miss Universe Coin project's association with the Miss Universe brand raised concerns and led to public disapproval by the official organization. The organization's actions are aimed at protecting its brand's integrity and preventing any misleading or unauthorized use of the Miss Universe name in the context of cryptocurrencies and blockchain offerings.
