Almost 13B+ views on GIPHY, and the internet's teddy bear is warming up. π»
That's billion, with a B, across our GIFs and stickers. And we're still pulling 20M+ views a day.
Good? Very. Enough? Not even close. We're going after 100M+ views a day again.
Here's the plan:
1. Retagging the whole library
We're refreshing the tags on our GIFs so the right moment surfaces the right bear. Leaves falling? Fall-breeze bear. Pumpkin season? Pumpkin bear. Thanksgiving table? Turkey-hat bear
2. Taking the IP further across social
More bear, in more feeds, on more platforms. Wherever people are talking, we want a bear in the replies.
3. Full throttle on the audiences we serve
Between GIPHY and our 150k+ followers across our other socials (TikTok & IG), there's already a big crowd that loves this bear. Now we're building it up on purpose, for the people already here and everyone about to find us.
Its never been a better time to be BEARISH
Happy FRIYAY Sneak π
The bearish.games app is almost here. Here's a first look at it running on a phone, captured from the live product.
What's inside:
β’ 43 games built for your phone: slots like Gummy Bearish and Shady Carats, Crash, Pinecone Plunge, Brass Ledge, Cubmarine, Big Paw Wheel and more
β’ Try any game in demo before you sign in
β’ Daily, weekly and monthly leaderboards for most plays and top winners
β’ A Red Berry social casino, made to play for fun
The beta is already busy:
β’ 17,000+ rounds played today across 32 games
β’ 89 players on the board this week, 100+ so far in November
β’ 136,000+ rounds this month from our top 50 players alone
β’ Most played today: Brass Ledge, Gummy Bearish, Cubmarine, Haunted Harvest and Beenanza
Shout-out to @Crispyduck , with 33,963 rounds this month, and @ovichovichov , up 21.8M Red Berries π
What's next: the app is coming soon to TestFlight. Invites start in our Discord, so that's where to be.
Join to get in early and help shape it: discord.gg/bearish
The world's assets are moving onchain, and we're starting with the things people love to hold.
Meet cubes.fun: open a cube and pull a real prize or a small reward. Gold and silver bars, watches, diamonds, graded-card pack rips and BURR tickets, from $5.
About $39B in real-world assets are onchain today, not counting stablecoins, roughly double where the year started. About $5.5B is gold. Another $3.6B is stocks, held by more than 4.5M wallets.
cubes.fun is our first beta under the BEARISH brand.
What's in the machine:
β’ PAMP Suisse gold and silver bars, from 1 g up to a 250 g gold bar
β’ Watches, from G-Shock and Citizen up to Omega and Breitling or Rolex as rare pulls
β’ Loose diamonds and chains
β’ Collector Crypt graded-card pack rips
β’ BURR boxes, where every prize is a BURR ticket
Boxes start at $5. Every box shows its rarity rates and full prize list before you open it, and most opens are smaller prizes or ETH credits. You can try a demo first, with no sign-in and no real money.
Real prizes wait in your locker, and it's your call:
β’ stash it
β’ ship it. Prizes ship to the US and Canada, and some ship to other countries with fees shown before you confirm. Bars, diamonds, jewelry and watches over $2,500 stay in the US and Canada for now. Outside the US and Canada, import duties and taxes aren't included.
β’ sell it for a credit to your game balance: 90% of the value shown for jewelry and watches, 97.5% of live metal value for bars
Our jewelry partner is Monica Jewelers, family-owned, with showrooms in Katy, TX and Columbia, MD. Monica holds the PAMP Suisse bars. Some items ship from an authorized distributor.
$1 auctions: every entry is $1. When the meter fills, one entry is drawn and wins the prize. If it doesn't fill in time, every entry is refunded. Not available in every country.
Stock Token boxes are open in eligible countries.
Free opens come from codes and drops, and paid opens earn Red Berries.
Why consign?
If you hold collectibles or run a brand, you can ask to put your goods in a cube machine. Players win them by chance, and you don't need your own sales channel. Pieces that rarely find a buyer alone go out alongside your best ones.
You choose what goes in and agree a value for each piece. You keep ownership until a player wins an item. You earn your share of that value when it leaves for good: a winner ships it, or still holds it when the period in your agreement ends. If they sell it, it comes back to you and nothing is owed yet. Unsold pieces stay yours.
Why we want it: more kinds of real prizes on the machine, without us buying every item up front.
Where it stands: requests are open at cubes.fun/consign. Intake, valuation, agreements and payment are handled by hand for now, and terms come from a signed agreement.
Sources: RWA.xyz and CoinGecko (Nov 3, 2026). A game of chance, 18+. Not investment advice. Red Berries have no cash value. Stock Token boxes are not available in the US, Canada, the UK, Switzerland or other restricted places.

the internet's teddy bear just upgraded its home
The new bearish.af is live, and it's built around the two bears you already send every day: Barry and Bella.
A digital-first community
Born online, built in public. Collectibles that live where you do, games you actually play, tech experiments we ship first, and a lot of fun on the way.
Barry and Bella live in your group chats. 13B GIPHY views, 150K+ followers, & 1K+ holders strong.
On the new home page they're everywhere: GIFs playing in the "watch them, send them" mosaic, Barry reels in the banner, and one tap copies any GIF so you can go send a bear.
Den Feature: Collector Hub Edition
The Den is the place of your new collector hub.
- Pick one of 10 den banners and make the header yours
- Climb the Den Rank from Cub to Grizzly Legend
- Hibernate your bears and watch the Zzz pile up. They earn Red Berries every day, and one tap claims them
- Collect 88 medals: traits, sets, rarity, hibernation, plus a few secret badges for the sleuths
- Open any bear to see which medals and sets it counts toward
Red Berries are play-only points. They have no cash value
Apps, all in one place
We're building the biggest IP social games platform.
The new apps page starts with ours: beta.bearish.games, bearishgo.com, blinko.game, bearish.poker, bearish.studio, cubes.fun with more experiments coming
Bear Life: physical concepts
Where Barry goes off the screen: a signature plush, a magnet bear you dress up, your own bear made plush, the boxes and the pins. They're ready to go into build-out sampling but tell us what you'd want first.
What's next
Trait swap and Build-a-BEARISH, plus BEARISH Games on iOS and Android.

PSA
We got an X suspension notice for "authenticity." We made sure it was not a phish.
If the account goes down its because of that.
We are looking into the issue and will appeal accordingly. Account is still up for right now, so not sure the timeframe.
Maybe the bears are too strong on the timeline?
Have you tried out multi-panel degen mode?
