Note on verification: The X/Twitter page itself did not load in a readable way via my web retrieval tool at the time of lookup, so I cannot confirm the profile metadata (bio, follower counts, verification status) from the page directly. However, Bullish’s own press materials reference following the company on social platforms, and third-party exchange directories list Bullish with a Twitter community link. (investors.bullish.com)
