The filing also mentions downloadable software and software-as-a-service (SaaS) tools for managing financial services, including crypto-related functionality.
While MrBeast, the richest YouTuber, is best known for viral stunts and philanthropic giveaways, the filing hints at more ambitious ventures in fintech and Web3.
If developed, the “MrBeast Financial” platform could serve as a crypto on-ramp, targeting the creator’s massive audience. On social media, users are speculating MrBeast could be planning a cryptocurrency exchange or crypto-linked neobank.
The application is still in its early stages and hasn’t yet been assigned to an examiner. It’s important to point out that trademark filings don't guarantee product launches.
