About Roundtable Network
Roundtable Network (NASDAQ: RTB) traces its long-term milestones to a 35-year media platform lineage started by CEO James Heckman with SoftBank backing in the mid-1990s, evolving from Web1 to Web4. A pivotal 2024 event was the merger with DeFi inventor Eyal Hertzog and his DeWeb team, integrating the automated market maker (AMM) and DeFi settlement into enterprise media infrastructure. Also in 2024, the platform launched at Consensus, offering decentralized publishing, IP protection, and real-time payments for professional publishers. The 2026 Nasdaq debut via reverse merger with RYVYL provided public market validation and working capital. Adoption by Yahoo, TheStreet, and 200 former Sports Illustrated team publishers demonstrated commercial traction, while a strategic media agreement included a non-refundable $10 million deposit.
Between March and September 2026, Roundtable (NASDAQ: RTB) completed its merger with RYVYL and listed on Nasdaq, with ~13.2 million shares outstanding and 85% subject to a one-year lock-up. On June 22, it launched an AI/DeFi real-time payment infrastructure in partnership with Coinbase, enabling nearly 200 professional publishers to settle ad revenue instantly in USDC via the Media Liquidity Pool and smart-wallet network, with onchain immutable reporting and payments. It had previously partnered with Yahoo, TheStreet, and 200 sports team publishers formerly under Sports Illustrated; in July it signed Mario Nawfal to power his non-social platform with its full technology stack. The company also disclosed a binding agreement with a major media company including a $10 million non-refundable deposit.
Future focus: centered on its "Web4 (DeFi + AI)" enterprise media platform, driving global media from Web1 to Web4; over the next 2-3 years, roll out to media companies worldwide, targeting hundreds of millions of users and revenue; continue signing major media and sports organizations; expand the Coinbase-backed instant USDC settlement network and liquidity pool; replace fragmented systems with a full-stack integration to restore media data sovereignty, IP control, and revenue fairness.
