10 NOV 2026 · Adam Cai, founder and Group CEO of Virgo Group, is back on Crypto Coin Show to talk about Wallet V, the self-custody mobile wallet where AI agents trade for you while the keys stay on your phone. We get into why he moved from running the VirgoCX exchange to building a DeFi super app, what Wallet V's benchmark data shows about which AI models are winning, and why AI is a trading buddy rather than a shortcut to becoming a millionaire.
We also cover the Phase 3 campaign, where users can earn up to 14,000 USDC for bringing top Hyperliquid and AI traders onto Wallet V, how VPoints lead into the airdrop and the token launch planned for early 2027, the risk controls that stop an agent cold at a 20% loss, and how to get started with as little as $100.
Paid partnership: this video is sponsored by Wallet V (Virgo Group). Trading perps and using AI agents carries risk. Nothing here is financial advice.

9 NOV 2026 · 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 Satoshi meant Bitcoin to be this transparent, and how Cake grew to more than 1.7 million users without collecting any user data. He explains how Silent Payments keep Bitcoin addresses private, Cake's privacy defaults for Monero, Zcash and Litecoin MWEB, why the company moved offshore, the new private messenger Radar Chat with built-in payments, private AI, and his best practices for keeping funds safe with hardware wallets and passphrases.

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 cumulative volume, holds over $400 million in deposits, and is backed by Franklin Templeton and IMC Trading.
Benjamin breaks down why every Cap loan needs an underwriter who puts their own Bitcoin or gold on the line, why Cap won't tokenize the film itself, how cUSD plugs into Aave, Morpho, Lido and ether.fi, and why he thinks $50 to $100 million could fund every loan at the Cannes Film Festival. He also explains why Cap is permissioned, whether private credit is in a bubble, and why "if folks want to hide, they don't belong in our loan book."

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 holders.
Jordan Schlosser, co-founder and CTO of IPX, breaks down how the Fetty Wap docuseries pays fans, why every project gets its own token paired against IPX, and how the platform hides the blockchain so fans can sign up with Google or Apple Pay. He also covers why this is not another celebrity meme coin, the linear bonding curve that refunds backers if a project does not graduate, KPI-gated escrow for creators, the one rule he gives anyone thinking about tokenizing their work, and what it will take for Hollywood to move on chain.

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 USDC as gas.
Anthony covers why every company should have its own stablecoin after the GENIUS Act, why he tells people not to hold verUSD, how USDC and USDT become the "last mile", why AI agent payments came in at a fraction of the predictions ("probably absolutely nothing" yet), whether AI is the next crypto bubble, the US-China AI race, proof of reserves for new stablecoins, Verona's post-quantum upgrade, and booking his own flights with an AI agent.

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 proofs, so votes and bids stay secret while the result can still be verified.
Auryn Macmillan, co-founder of Gnosis Guild, explains why ZK proofs alone cannot make a vote receipt-free, how running the MACI coordinator himself ("I trust me, but why should you trust me?") inspired the project, and how competing banks could pool risk scores without trusting each other. He also covers what network alpha and the Fold token mean, why fees are paid in stablecoins, the dual staking model for node operators, Vitalik's role, hiding bidder balances with Railgun, and the next adopters through Aragon.

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 cover the shield that stopped Bitget hack funds from moving through NEAR Intents, why liquidity is the key to tokenized stocks, the NEAR distribution for early confidential intents users, and what the team wants to ship before 2027. Not financial advice.

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, before a real machine economy can work.
Martin El-Khouri, Head of Ecosystem and Business Development at peaq, walks through peaq's bet on the machine economy, the Audi and Porsche charging case that showed why machines need an open identity standard, why peaq took peaqOS omnichain to Solana and 23 other chains, what the 2.5 million machines on the dashboard really mean, how token bonding works under peaq's new economics, the Doosan Robotics partnership and demand for machine financing, the path from millions to billions of machines, and how peaq thinks about robot security and fake machine identities. Not financial advice.
