SEC Form 4 — "Tibbir Trust" listed as Ribbit Capital LP vehicle
Meyer "Micky" Malka's SEC Form 4 (beneficial ownership filing for Robinhood Markets / HOOD) lists "Tibbir Trust" and "Tibbir Holdings LLC" as formally registered entities. SEC filings from May 2024 show Malka moved $5 million worth of Robinhood stock into the Tibbir Trust. The word "Tibbir" appears in no other context outside of these filings and the token. The actual filing text is publicly available via EDGAR full-text search.

Virtuals EconomyOS — "Agent Token feeds ERC-8004 reputation scores" — official protocol documentation
Virtuals Protocol (TIBBIR's launch platform) published EconomyOS at os.virtuals.io (May 6, 2026). Agent Token documentation states: "ERC-8004 compatible — feeds on-chain reputation scores." ERC-8004 is the Ethereum mainnet agent identity standard with MetaMask, Google, Coinbase, ENS collaborators. TIBBIR is the Agent Token for Ribbita on Base. This formally documents the trust oracle mechanism the thesis describes as inference.

TIBBIR feeds Ribbita's ERC-8004 reputation score as her Agent Token on Virtuals
Virtuals EconomyOS documents that Agent Tokens are "ERC-8004 compatible — feeds on-chain reputation scores." TIBBIR is the Agent Token for Ribbita on Base. This upgrades the mechanism from inference to strongly evidenced: TIBBIR transactions feed Ribbita's on-chain reputation registry. The specific mechanism by which TIBBIR becomes required at scale — programmatic demand from every agent transaction — remains unconfirmed but is now formally supported by the platform documentation.

INFER
Formal Ribbit Capital announcement is being staged for regulatory clarity
The absence of a formal announcement despite overwhelming evidence of involvement suggests deliberate staging. The CLARITY Act markup (May 1, 2026) and pending Coinbase Smart Wallet announcement (Q2) are the most plausible preconditions. No timeline is predictable. The reveal may or may not coincide with any specific event.
