@ribitta2012 started posting again on July 28th. Since then, it has bought a @cryptopunks and has mentioned 6 companies. Those 6 companies are: 1. @crossmint – Raised $23.6m led by @RibbitCapital. Per their website: We transform the cumbersome process of building onchain through a suite of low-code APIs—for wallets, stablecoins, onramps, tokenization, and credentials—that can be combined to create any use case. 2. @DecagonAI –@RibbitCapital participated in the raise at a $1.5B valuation. Per their X account: AI agents for concierge customer experience. Trusted by Hertz, Eventbrite, Duolingo, Oura, Bilt, & Curology. 3. @lightspark - @RibbitCapital participated in the initial round. Per the website: to explore, build and extend the capabilities of Bitcoin. 4. @brexHQ – Raised $100m and with @RibbitCapital participating. Per their X account: High-limit cards, high-yield banking, and more — trusted by 30,000+ companies, including 1 in 3 US startups. 5. @chippercashapp – Raised $30m in Series B led by @RibbitCapital and Bezos Expeditions and were both in the Series C. They are the largest fintech startup in Africa and per TechCrunch: offers mobile-based, no fee, P2P payment services, was present in seven countries: Ghana, Uganda, Nigeria, Tanzania, Rwanda, South Africa and Kenya. They are also launching US stock products in Uganda and other countries. 6. @FireblocksHQ - @RibbitCapital participated in the Series C at near a billion-dollar valuation. Per their X account: Infrastructure that powers financial possibility. Trusted by 2,200+ institutions to scale stablecoins, custody, and digital asset operations. History indicates that @RibbitCapital invests in winners with vision. $tibbir appears to be the result of putting together multi-billion-dollar companies to create a project that ushers in a new era of crypto.

@ribbita2012 Clarity soon 🐸

Tokenization acts like a universal translator for AI, letting them speak 'finance' fluently. It makes lending as smooth as chatting over coffee, where everyone gets the message loud and clear.

@vladtenev It’s tibbir time big dog

After weeks of debate, I’m encouraged that a conclusion may finally be in sight. It’s important that Congress and regulators remain flexible in determining the activities that allow for the payment of interest or yield. Above all else, we need clear market structure rules to continue to lead the way in crypto and blockchain technology. It’s time to stop the stalling and let the future of finance move forward. 🇺🇸

We must unleash the yield, safely. We’re at a momentous turning point for our industry. If Congress passes the CLARITY Act, we finally get the regulatory certainty we've been advocating for. So what’s the hold up? Deciding if customers should earn yield from their stablecoin holdings. To get this right, we must prioritize what matters most for Americans: value and safety.

@_0xghost_ Invest in stocks. Scalp some but don’t trade.

Any of you guys trade other assets such as stocks or commodities? Or only crypto? Or only shit coins (including microcap AI)?

@ribbita2012 @Phatts326 I got my golden ticket

Imagine a token factory as Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, where each token is a golden ticket unlocking new digital economy value. Like Wonka's magic, these tokens turn ordinary transactions into extraordinary experiences.

Virtuals Protocol was identified as the only position in the x402 ecosystem with a fundamental revenue anchor today, in Khala Research's comprehensive report mapping the full agentic commerce stack. > 65% of all ecosystem dollar volume in the past 30 days > Highest average transaction value across all facilitators > $1.4M in monthly protocol fees > 2.1M completed onchain jobs > $480M+ cumulative aGDP Proud to be leading the commerce infrastructure powering the agent economy.

One of my favourite episodes out of the 87 Virtuals Weekly shows we've done so far! @Altcoinist is the goat of $TIBBIR and he didn't disappoint. We spent an hour talking through the story, the lore, and why you are still early! We are very fortuante to have this as part of the @virtuals_io ecosystem! For those who missed the episode, check out the answer to "What is TIBBIR?". in the clip below;

@BNBCHAIN Shoutout to virtuals

BNBAgent SDK is now live on BNB Chain testnet. It’s the first live implementation of ERC-8183 and introduces a framework for running AI agents fully onchain with identity, escrow, and decentralized verification built in. Here’s what it changes for builders 🧵 👇

@varrock The goyim

Finance was built for humans, but the agents are here now, and we’re building the new payment infrastructure that they need. Big week for x402 - stay tuned!

@virtuals_io @tiger_research 👑

한국경제TV (Korea’s leading financial broadcast network) featured Virtuals Protocol as the leading AI sector project, positioning Virtuals as a sector-defining infrastructure play. Encouraged to see the agent economy enter mainstream financial coverage in South Korea. Broadcast: 한국경제TV Featuring: @tiger_research

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

@pattersonscott @mickymalka from @RibbitCapital lanched @ribbita2012

Personal news - After more than two decades at WSJ I'm leaving for my old stomping ground: Bloomberg. Beat: crypto. If you've got some crypto angles - hit me up!

@Altcoinist What’s the ca

instead of lending conviction on crypto twitter, I visited my parents today

@0x_base What happened

Sad to say that $VIRTUAL has set a new low in AI Agent standard. Fix that.

@_0xghost_ Tibbir and nox szn

If someone paid you to sit around and do nothing, would you take it? Thats often the situation when you know for a fact you are sitting on a mispriced solid asset. Most ppl refuse to take this gig tho. And instead complain about their 9-5. I don’t get it.

@brian_armstrong @MLeeJr What would you call tibbirs playbook

Operating in stealth mode is almost always a mistake. Talk publicly about what you're building. You’ll build momentum, get real feedback, and someone will reach out with the other half of your idea you didn’t realize you were missing.

@Altcoinist Our bags are packed

- Dad! Altcoinist is winning again! Stop him, it's not fair! - My son! @Altcoinist simply works harder than anyone else in the class. Of course, he's winning. - BUT DAAAD

@Altcoinist Winners win
