Austin, TX, USA, August 19, 2026, Chainwire

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, equal to 20% of the total fixed supply of 1 billion IBNAi tokens, as part of its broader digital asset strategy.

Founded in January 2021, CryptoCapitalFund said it was established to analyze the rapidly evolving digital asset market while maintaining a disciplined focus on opportunities that can create sustainable, long-term value. The firm said it evaluates emerging technologies, blockchain ecosystems and digital assets through that long-term lens.

The acquisition marks 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 said it 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 element of CCF’s investment thesis is IBNAi’s foundation on Ethereum (ETH), which it described as one of the world’s most established blockchain networks and a leading infrastructure layer for tokenized assets. CCF said Ethereum’s developer ecosystem, broad adoption and growing use in 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 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, reflecting a broader shift in digital assets toward applications tied to existing businesses and communities rather than standalone speculation.

For CCF, the 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 said it 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 on the open market in July and August 2026 and have been placed in cold storage at Fireblocks.
