AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via IBN – CryptoCapitalFund (“CCF”), a digital asset investment organization focused on identifying long-term opportunities across the cryptocurrency market, today announced the acquisition of 200 million IBNAi tokens, or 20% of the total supply of 1 billion IBNAi tokens, as part of its broader digital asset strategy.
Founded in January of 2021, CryptoCapitalFund was established with a primary objective: to deeply analyze the rapidly evolving digital asset market while maintaining a disciplined focus on opportunities with the potential to create sustainable, long-term value. CCF is dedicated to evaluating emerging technologies, blockchain ecosystems and digital assets through that long-term lens.
The acquisition represents a significant commitment to IBNAi, the native utility and engagement token powering the broader InvestorBrandNetwork (“IBN”) ecosystem. Rather than viewing IBNAi solely as a tradable digital asset, CCF sees an opportunity tied to the token’s intended utility across an established financial communications and investor engagement network.
“We believe IBNAi has the potential to connect blockchain technology with an established communications and investor engagement ecosystem,” said Michael McCarthy, Managing Member of CryptoCapitalFund. “This investment reflects our long-term view of the platform’s potential and our commitment to supporting the continued development and utility of the IBNAi ecosystem.”
A key component of CCF’s investment thesis is IBNAi’s foundation on Ethereum (ETH), one of the world’s most established blockchain networks and a leading infrastructure layer for tokenized assets. Ethereum’s extensive developer ecosystem, broad adoption and growing use within institutional digital asset initiatives provide IBNAi with a well-established blockchain foundation as its ecosystem develops.
IBNAi is designed to connect blockchain-based utility with IBN’s existing communications, content, investor engagement and digital marketing infrastructure. The project is intended to support participation, incentivize engagement and create new opportunities across IBN’s network of platforms, audiences, clients and partners.
For CCF, that combination of blockchain infrastructure and an established operating ecosystem differentiates IBNAi from digital assets built primarily around speculative interest.
“We believe CryptoCapitalFund’s investment reflects growing recognition of IBNAi’s long-term potential,” said Brett Schnacker, director of social media relations at IBNAi. “The acquisition represents a significant commitment to the ecosystem we are building and to our vision of connecting blockchain technology with real-world utility across IBN’s established network.”
The acquisition comes as digital assets continue to expand beyond their origins as alternative currencies, with blockchain technology increasingly being explored for tokenization, payments, ownership, rewards, digital identity, and other real-world applications. CCF believes projects capable of connecting blockchain technology with established businesses and communities may be particularly well positioned as this evolution continues. The 200 Million IBNAi Tokens were purchased in the open market in July and August of 2026 and have been placed in cold storage at Fireblocks.
