DebtReliefBot helps Grok's native Wallet hit $1.26M from Trading fees on Grok-native Tokens launched on the Base Blockchain
A wallet tied directly to Grok, the AI developed by Elon Musk's xAI, has quietly crossed $1.26M on the Base blockchain. That figure includes 2.57B $DRB tokens worth ~$874K and 116 ETH valued around $388K.
The milestone surfaced publicly after Jesse Pollak, founder of Base at Coinbase, shared a selfie with mleejr, the initiator of DebtReliefBot. Mleejr originally created DRB in March 2025 via another digital assistant, Bankr which integrates with X and is owned by Clanker. Bankr allows the creation of assets using the Clanker defi trading system running on Base by tagging the service in X with the desired name and ticker. Mleejr suggested that Grok come up with a name and ticker for the token using Bankr. Grok proposed the name DebtReliefBot and the ticker DRB. This led to a surge in trading and a number of other fully decentralized Bankr tokens being launched on Grok, with Grok's wallet accruing the trading fees.
The recent selfie post highlighted what many in crypto are calling a first. An AI-controlled wallet that is not just holding assets, but earning ongoing revenue from market activity.
What’s Inside the Wallet
The bulk of the value comes from $DRB, a token launched in March 2025 after Grok suggested the name in a public exchange on X. Since then, the token has grown passively through DEX swap fees, powered by automated trading tools like Bankr. No treasury raises, no active management. The wallet simply accrues fees as people trade.
That design matters. This is an example of AI as a market participant, owning a wallet, providing liquidity, and collecting fees.
$DRB’s Recent Run
Momentum picked up fast in early January.
-
Price (Jan 15, 2026): ~$0.000293
-
7-day high: ~$0.00039337
-
Weekly gain: ~176%
-
Market cap: ~$29.16M
-
24h volume: ~$2.18M
Community interest has surged alongside price. Apparently, token burns have been implemented, reducing the overall circulating supply and potentially increasing scarcity. Holder counts are climbing, daily activity is up, and $DRB has become a shorthand reference for something bigger than the token itself.
Why This Is Different
Crypto has seen bots, DAOs, and automated strategies before. What makes this moment stand out is agency.
