Blue Ribbon Bags Announces New Annual Agency Subscription Program
One Monthly Agency Fee Aims to Expedite the Return of Mishandled Bags for Clients
New York, New York–(Newsfile Corp. – July 6, 2023) – Blue Ribbon Bags (BRB) announces a new annual subscription program for travel advisors, planners and others involved in booking travel arrangements. An annual subscription to the Blue Ribbon Bags Program means that clients can be offered the unique luggage tracking service of BRB.
The Blue Ribbon Bags Annual Agency Subscription Program is based on a yearly passenger count. Blue Ribbon Bag’s onboarding experts work with subscribers to find a balanced number and even out the bumps of seasonal travel. Based on the agreed upon annual passenger count travel agents, agencies, and planners pay a monthly fee to offer the coveted Blue Ribbon Bags service to all their clients.
Once enrolled in the annual Blue Ribbon Bags Agency Subscription Program a Unique Service Agreement Claim Number along with claim instructions are issued. Travel agents, travel management companies, online travel services and private travel planners can decide for themselves how they want to offer Blue Ribbon Bags to their clients.
Blue Ribbon Bags (BRB) is currently offered by thousands of partners and affiliates in 90 countries. Subscribers to the Blue Ribbon Bags Subscription Program set their own parameters.
How Blue Ribbon Bags Works
Travelers on over 100,000 flights per day trust their bags to the airlines. Blue Ribbon Bags has developed and enhanced a proprietary system of tracking and reuniting lost luggage with their rightful owners within 96 hours of arrival.
Using the file reference number assigned to the missing bag, a report is filed with BRB within 24 hours of the missing luggage. BRB begins the process of accessing multiple tracking databases to notify airlines of the missing luggage and required destination. Travelers are kept in the loop by BRB through real time email and SMS notifications. Blue Ribbon Bags upholds a compensatory satisfaction guarantee per lost bag over and above the luggage airline insurance if not returned by the airline to the original destination.
Clients Can be Covered under an Annual Blue Ribbon Bags Agency Subscription
Thousands of partners currently offer Blue Ribbon Bags as an a la carte service based on a per bag, per passage and per flight fee. This requires a separate service agreement to be purchased through a Global Distribution System or B2B portal. Client details must be shared for each purchase. Each individual PNR must be registered even when there are multiple PNRs in the same booking. Agencies rely on their agents, and employees to remember to offer or purchase Blue Ribbon Bags to their clients.
The Annual Blue Ribbon Bags Agency Subscription streamlines the process. Subscribers use one unique agency subscriber number. The number is issued during a 5-minute onboarding phone registration with a certified Annual Blue Ribbon Bags Agency Subscription expert. There is no need to remember or purchase the service before each client’s travel. The unique service agreement number issued at registration covers the agency and all its clients. The blanket coverage covers entire trips with multiple connections and or multiple persons in the travelling party.
The Annual Blue Ribbon Bags Agency Subscription Program is available now. For registration, interest, or questions email [email protected]
About Blue Ribbon Bags: Blue Ribbon Bags was founded in 2012 as a concierge service for travelers to protect and track lost bags when flying. Daniel Levine, President and Co-Founder of Blue Ribbon Bags (BRB), created the company after a mishandled luggage incident during a business trip left him to attend a meeting in a t-shirt and shorts. He explored, analyzed, and created a proprietary system to seamlessly work the luggage databases of the airlines and match lost luggage with correct destinations within 96 hours. Today he has committed BRB to offering the service to more partners and travelers through subscription services. Currently in development in the BRB arsenal of recovering lost bags is the integration of AI with the acquisition of Eddy AI.

In an era defined by rapid innovation and regulatory shifts, today’s blockchain briefing spotlights five pivotal developments: enterprise-grade data integration, municipal crypto pilots, state-level policy hearings, AI-powered token growth, and secure communications on a public ledger. Across these stories, three key trends emerge:
-
Enterprise Adoption & Data Integration
-
Government Experimentation & Oversight
-
AI & Security Innovations in Crypto
Below, we dissect each story’s essence, unpack its broader implications, and offer opinion-driven insight for Web3 stakeholders.
1. Space and Time Joins Forces with Microsoft Fabric

On May 20, 2025, Space and Time Labs (SXT)—a zero-knowledge data platform backed by Microsoft’s M12 Ventures—announced integration of its multichain index (Bitcoin, Sui, Ethereum) into Microsoft Fabric’s OneLake environment. This partnership delivers real-time, verifiable blockchain data directly within Azure, enabling developers and enterprises to build data-driven Web3 and AI applications without custom pipelines.
Opinion: Embedding verifiable on-chain data into mainstream analytics tools marks a watershed moment. As traditional enterprises crave decentralized insights, Fabric’s native access to SXT’s ZK-proven data could accelerate blockchain analytics, foster hybrid cloud-Web3 solutions, and reduce vendor lock-in. Expect more legacy tech giants to pursue similar alliances.
2. New York City Eyes Crypto for Taxes & Records

Mayor Eric Adams revealed plans to form a Digital Assets Advisory Council to explore crypto-based payments for municipal services, including taxes, birth/death certificates, and land records. While specifics remain under wraps, Adams highlighted zero-knowledge proofs as a privacy-preserving tool for public documentation on distributed ledgers.
Opinion: New York’s initiative signals growing municipal appetite for blockchain beyond investments. By potentially accepting tax payments in crypto and securing vital records on-chain, NYC could pioneer use cases that blend transparency with privacy. However, pilot programs must rigorously address volatility, regulatory compliance, and digital inclusion to avoid disenfranchising underserved communities.
3. Wyoming Committee Explores Blockchain, AI & Right-to-Repair
Source: Wyoming Public Media
During its first interim meeting (May 14–15, Jackson Hole), Wyoming’s Select Committee on Blockchain, Financial Technology and Digital Innovation reviewed the state’s proposed Wyoming Stable Token—tethered 1:1 to USD—and examined AI governance and right-to-repair legislation. The Stable Token Commission anticipates a July 4 alpha launch, while lawmakers debated CBDC distinctions, tokenized real-world assets, and consumer repair rights.
Opinion: Wyoming continues to cement its reputation as a blockchain haven. Explicit carve-outs distinguishing stablecoins from CBDCs, coupled with regulatory sandboxes for AI and repair laws, underscore a holistic approach to innovation. Other states should monitor Wyoming’s alpha testing outcomes to inform balanced policy frameworks that nurture Web3 while safeguarding consumer interests.
4. AI Tokens Surge in Crypto’s New Tango
Source: The Economic Times
Himanshi Lohchab reports that AI-centric utility tokens—built to autonomously execute services like compute renting (Render), predictive analytics (SingularityNET), and data marketplaces (Ocean Protocol)—have seen market caps soar from $2.7 billion to nearly $30 billion within a year. Key players include Near Protocol’s AI modules, ICP, The Graph, and emerging AI agents that generate revenue per usage. Institutional interest from Grayscale, BlackRock, and Fidelity further validates the trend.
Opinion: The AI-blockchain convergence is no fleeting fad. AI tokens promise programmable revenue streams and decentralized toolchains, but they also introduce autonomous risk vectors—buggy smart contracts, accountability gaps, and regulatory ambiguity. Security audits, standardized interoperability protocols, and clear legal frameworks will be crucial to sustain investor confidence.
5. BSV Association Selects Binarii Labs for Secure Communications

The BSV Association has designated Binarii Labs to implement BinariiDSM, an encrypted file exchange and messaging suite that logs proofs of record on the BSV blockchain. This integration ensures immutable audit trails, data resilience, and end-to-end confidentiality for enterprises seeking verifiable trust without centralized intermediaries.
Opinion: As data privacy regulations tighten globally, blockchain-anchored communication platforms like BinariiDSM offer a compelling alternative to legacy VPNs and secure email. By immutably recording metadata on-chain, organizations can demonstrate compliance, simplify audits, and deter insider threats. Look for BSV’s secure-messaging model to inspire similar offerings on other smart-contract platforms.
Conclusion: Navigating a Dynamic Blockchain Frontier
Today’s stories reaffirm that blockchain is no longer an experimental niche—it’s permeating analytics, public services, legislative agendas, tokenomics, and secure communications. To thrive:
-
Forge Strategic Alliances: Enterprises should partner with ZK and data-fabric innovators to embed blockchain insights into their analytics stacks.
-
Pilot Pragmatically: Municipalities must balance visionary crypto use cases with compliance, volatility management, and equitable access.
-
Craft Balanced Policy: States can emulate Wyoming’s sandbox approach—distinguishing stablecoins from CBDCs, while addressing AI and repair rights.
-
Secure the Autonomous Agent Era: As AI tokens multiply, enforce rigorous security audits and interoperability standards.
-
Leverage On-Chain Trust: Consider blockchain-anchored communications for immutable audit trails and enhanced data resilience.
By embracing these actions, organizations and policymakers can harness blockchain’s transformative power while mitigating emerging risks.
