Getting impersonated on an app you don’t even use shouldn’t happen. That’s why we built TIM, specifically for institutions in crypto. Work email sign-in and KYB-verified firms so you know exactly who's messaging you. 300+ institutions already use it: thetie.io/solutions/tim/home
TELEGRAM USERS: If someone using my name and this AI photo of me (not bad tbh) reaches out about some crypto thing — it is not me. Crypto schemes not really my style. And I don’t use Telegram. Plz block/report/ignore.

1/ This week at The Bridge, we soft launched The Tie Instant Messenger (TIM): an enterprise messaging app for institutions in crypto. 300+ firms have already onboarded from hedge funds and VCs to OTC desks, exchanges, asset managers, custodians, and service providers.

Key takeaways from The Bridge yesterday: 1. If you’re in AI, pivot to crypto. 2. Tokenization and the convergence of Wall Street and onchain finance is only accelerating. 3. Agentic tokenized finance is the biggest narrative & scheming point for 2027. 4. Hearing rumors of massive bank deals being done with stablecoin issuers. #2 is very, very similar to what CZ said to me on Monday… @therollupco @TheTieIO @NEARProtocol

Yesterday was easily the most institutional show we’ve ever done. Total AUM in the room had to be over $100 trillion, and we easily spoke to $10T alone. Truly insane how far this industry has come. Floodgates are fully open. Be more bullish. @therollupco @TheTieIO @Matt_Hougan @RasterlyRock

Great conversation at @TheTieIO’s The Bridge today with leaders from BNY, Nasdaq, DTCC, and Galaxy. Extending trading hours is the easy part, but cash, collateral, and settlement need to keep up. That’s what we’re helping institutions build for on Avalanche.

Closing out the panel programming at The Bridge 2026. The final conversations examine the disconnect between protocol adoption and token returns, whether AI makes competitive advantages harder to defend, and what institutions need to operate in markets that never close.
