GIG HARBOR, Wash., April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IP Strategy Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:IPST) (the "Company" or "IP Strategy"), the first company to adopt a treasury reserve policy centered on the $IP token, today highlighted the launch of the Story Global Wallet, a new developer and user interface layer designed to simplify access to the Story Protocol ecosystem.

The Story Global Wallet enables seamless interaction with Story-based applications by providing a unified wallet experience that can be automatically discovered alongside existing wallets such as MetaMask and Coinbase Wallet, reducing integration complexity for developers and improving accessibility for end users.

By abstracting wallet infrastructure and streamlining onboarding, the Story Global Wallet lowers friction for users interacting with programmable IP whether it be for registering assets, managing licenses, or participating in onchain royalty flows.

As Story continues to provide infrastructure for AI-native intellectual property, simplifying access to the network is a critical step toward broader adoption. Story enables creators, developers, and applications to register, license, and monetize IP directly onchain, forming the foundation for rights-cleared data and content economies.

From IP Strategy's perspective, the Story Global Wallet demonstrates how improving access and usability is essential to scaling programmable IP into a globally accessible, user-facing asset class.

IP Strategy expects to continue highlighting ecosystem developments that expand accessibility, drive real-world adoption, and support long-term growth of the programmable intellectual property economy.
