Crypto Coin Show

Every Bitcoin you buy on an exchange is tied to your name, your ID and your address, and anyone can follow it on-chain from there. Bitcoin privacy is not built in, but tools like Silent Payments, Monero and Zcash are making it simple for everyday users, not just cypherpunks. Vik Sharma, Founder and CEO of Cake Wallet, breaks down what exchanges and analytics firms actually know about you, whether...

Watch the full video interview: https://youtu.be/2hB2XB8uu5Q When AI can fake almost anything, what can we still prove? Arie Trouw, Co-Founder, CEO and CTO of XYO, joins Ashton Addison on the Crypto Coin Show to talk about why deepfake detection is losing, how XYO's network of 10 million+ phones and devices witnesses real-world data, and what that means for AI agents, AGI and the year ahead. We al...

Watch the full video interview: https://youtu.be/bUXrGsUpE7o Can onchain credit fund Hollywood? Benjamin Sarquis Peillard, Founder and CEO of Cap, returns to Blockchain Interviews to explain how Cap is financing Wake, a comedy drama starring Cole Sprouse, Penelope Ann Miller, Riki Lindhome and Chris Parnell, by advancing cash against the film's tax credits. Cap has done more than $4 billion in cum...

Watch the full video interview: https://youtu.be/mge8K4MnOOA Most creators wait months to see a cut of what their work earns, and fans who back a project rarely see any of it. IPX wants to change that by routing real revenue, from box office to brand deals, into a project's own checking account, sweeping it from USD into USDC, and using it to buy back and burn tokens or fund a rewards pool for hol...

Watch the full video interview: https://youtu.be/6Dbo1d4ei7M $6.3 billion left Binance in about 20 minutes, the biggest hack in history. Ashton Addison and co-host Golden Yogi break down the money trail (FBI, Tornado Cash, Bybit hack funds), why Bitcoin barely moved, plus tampered hardware wallets, Trezor's warning and how to do real cold storage. Bitcoin's white paper turns 18, so they cover quan...

Watch the full video interview: https://youtu.be/WPRmm_8xdt8 Verona, the network formerly known as XION, launched verUSD: a dollar stablecoin built for AI agents, with more than $100 million in launch commitments. On his fourth time on Crypto Coin Show, founder and CEO Anthony Anzalone explains why a network built to verify data decided to create its own money, after being the first chain to use U...

Watch the full video interview: https://youtu.be/3kfOkvBdUQk Every worthwhile democracy uses a secret ballot, and every fair sealed-bid auction needs an auctioneer nobody can bribe. On chain, someone usually still has to see the inputs to count them. The Interfold, built by Gnosis Guild, spreads that trust across a network using fully homomorphic encryption, threshold decryption and zero knowledge...

Watch the full video interview: https://youtu.be/HW72mnx34ig Illia Polosukhin, co-founder of NEAR Protocol, joins Ashton Addison on the Crypto Coin Show to break down everything NEAR has shipped since June: privacy by default across trading, confidential perps, IronClaw for AI agents, tokenized stocks through NEAR Intents, quantum-safe signing on mainnet, and the new Bitwise NEAR ETF. We also cove...

Watch the full video interview: https://youtu.be/HRnFNzCf8kI Software is solved, hardware is different. Martin El-Khouri of peaq argues that the next wave of builders is moving from software to machines, because a moat built only on software is getting hard to defend. He explains why robots, cars and sensors need the same boring basics humans rely on, an identity, a wallet and a credit history, be...

Watch the full video interview: https://youtu.be/ncHeYxD0MJg Luke Davis argues that tech and the hyperscalers have carried the whole index in 2026 while most other sectors stalled, and that the fourth quarter of a midterm year has historically been the strongest stretch of the four-year cycle. He also explains why he sees OpenAI and Anthropic priced like hyper-growth companies, and why he would ra...

Watch the full video interview: https://youtu.be/r64b6IpHtpQ Crypto data is only useful if it is complete, fast and right, and Birdeye covers thousands of data sources across the world's chains with no venture funding behind it. The company started as a website for tracking token price, volume and trading venues, then grew into data infrastructure that now serves over 5,000 enterprise clients, inc...

Watch the full video interview: https://youtu.be/otB0vqvTYGk Most credit runs on trust: banks, BNPL apps and suppliers all price in the risk that you won't pay. Anvil flips that. It lets you lock up the crypto you already hold as a guaranteed promise to pay, without selling it and without handing it over, so the other side never has to trust you. Max Schwartz, CEO of Anvil Research Labs, joins Ash...

Watch the full video interview: https://youtu.be/K7nQ7hH9EqQ AI agents can browse, write and code, but most of the web still treats them as intruders: CAPTCHAs, logins built for humans and payment flows that assume a person with a card. Daski is built to give agents a way through, with tools they can use directly and a way to pay for what they use. Pawel Mastalerz, founder of Daski, joins Ashton A...

Watch the full video interview: https://youtu.be/tGBxH-G-EBM Banks look slow on blockchain, but most of the work is happening where nobody can see it. Institutions are running RFPs, testing tokenized deposits and certificates of deposit, and lining up for regulatory clarity, because a bank that waits for a green light can lose 18 to 24 months of build time. Tokenizing an asset is the easy part. Th...

A trading-signals company says it raised $1 million for a fund that will spend half its realized profits buying its own token, TTP, off the market and burning it. The fund has not started trading yet, and the performance figures so far come from a backtest, not a live track record. The TTP token launched on Solana with no presale and no team or investor allocation, a setup Nick says can be checked...

Decentralized social keeps failing for the same reason: Farcaster, Lens and every Twitter clone built an app-specific data model, so nothing composes and no network effect forms. KNOWLEDGE GRAPHS are the missing piece, and Geo Debates, launched today, is the first consumer product built on one. Two people who disagree on a specific claim argue it on video in timed turns, the clip drops into a swip...

Robinhood already lets millions of people trade stocks and crypto, so why build its own blockchain? Robinhood Chain is the answer: a chain Robinhood controls end to end, launched July 1, that has since crossed $1.6 billion in total value locked, with most major exchanges and wallets integrated by August. Owning the chain lets Robinhood set compliance rules for every jurisdiction it launches in, ke...

EMQQ Global's Kevin T. Carter joins Ashton Addison to make the case that the valuation gap between US and Chinese AI companies is closing faster than most investors realize. Kevin walks through TGRZ, the China AI Tigers LLM ETF built around DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, MiniMax and Z.ai , and AICH, the new full-stack China AI ETF that launched the same morning as this interview. Kevin explains why open m...

Brave has grown into a privacy-first browser with 120 million-plus users and 50 million-plus daily actives, but only a sliver of that audience actually touches crypto today. SELF-CUSTODY PAYMENTS is how Brave is closing that gap, and Roadmap 4.0 is the plan to turn the world's biggest privacy browser into a Venmo-like, self-custody wallet anyone can use. Luke Mulks, VP of Business Operations at Br...

AI is racing toward a moment where verifying data isn't the hard problem anymore — proving an autonomous agent or robot actually did what it claims becomes the harder one. PROOF OF ACTION is the frontier XYO is pushing toward next, moving past its original data-provenance thesis into a bigger question: when an AI makes a decision or a robot acts in the physical world, how do you actually prove it...

AI agents are already making financial decisions, coordinating logistics, and acting autonomously on behalf of users — but there is no reliable record of what they did, why they did it, or whether the data they acted on was real. DATA PROVENANCE is the missing accountability layer, and XYO has been building it since before the industry knew it needed it. Markus Levin, Co-Founder of XYO, joins Asht...

Most crypto companies structure themselves in the wrong jurisdiction — or no jurisdiction at all — and find out what that means when it's too late to fix it. Dave Rodman, Founder and Managing Partner of The Rodman Law Group, breaks down the three offshore structures he recommends to crypto founders: the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, and Panama. He explains how each one works, what th...

Most RWA projects tokenize the asset and forget the token. ZIGChain is building the full stack: regulated onchain infrastructure for institutional-grade real-world assets, with $ZIG's value tied directly to platform revenue through a discretionary buyback program — not a separate speculative layer bolted on top. REVENUE-BACKED TOKENOMICS built on a purpose-built Layer 1 is what separates ZIGChain...

Crypto prop trading is a broken model: most firms quietly change the rules the moment a trader starts winning. TRANSPARENT ONCHAIN CRYPTO PROP TRADING is what Propr is building — and two months in, they have $1M in revenue, 5,000+ active traders, and 300+ AI agents already trading with funded capital. Louis Régis, Founder of Propr, joins Ashton Addison on Blockchain Interviews. Louis is a former C...

Most crypto wallets are still just storage. Trust Wallet just added tokenized US stocks, perpetual futures, and prediction markets — all non-custodial, all on mobile. SELF-CUSTODIAL TRADING is no longer a contradiction, and Trust Wallet's General Counsel breaks down exactly what changed. Shehram Khattak, General Counsel at Trust Wallet, joins Ashton Addison on Blockchain Interviews. Trust Wallet h...
