AUSTIN, Texas, October 23, 2025 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest CryptoCurrencyWire Audio Production as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels. CryptoCurrencyWire’s latest audio production features Kyle Samani, Chairman of Forward Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: FORD), the leading Solana treasury company. To begin the interview, Samani introduced his recent appointment and the pivotal transaction that redefined Forward Industries’ focus. “I came in as Chairman of Forward Industries a few weeks ago as part of a $1.65 billion PIPE transaction in the company. That transaction was the largest PIPE for any Solana-based digital asset treasury company,” he said. “As part of that, the company has added a new strategy to its business, which is to focus on driving SOL per share for shareholders. Today, the company is sitting on 6.8 million SOL tokens worth approximately $1.5 billion, and we are deploying a bunch of strategies to increase our SOL per share over time for our shareholders.” He went on to outline how Forward plans to generate yield beyond basic staking rewards, describing partnerships and DeFi integrations that enhance returns. “We announced a partnership with a group called DoubleZero, a new fast lane for sending traffic around the internet… Using DoubleZero, we can actually earn higher yields for our shareholders via our core staking operations. We can also deploy our balance sheet, both SOL-denominated and USD-denominated, into DeFi on Solana to earn incremental yield above and beyond the base staking rate… The dollar denominated side is arguably even more interesting. We can borrow U.S. dollars for 7.5-8% on an annualized basis and deploy those dollars on-chain to earn yields in the range of 12-20%.” When asked about risk management, Samani pointed to the combined expertise of Forward’s sponsor firms. “We’re really fortunate to rely on the expertise of all three sponsor groups — Multicoin Capital, Jump Crypto, and Galaxy Digital,” he said. “All three firms have been heavily involved in Solana and DeFi over the years, so we all have a pretty strong familiarity and understanding of the various protocols and contracts out there. We do have a formal risk assessment methodology that we’ve adopted for Forward Industries before we deploy investor capital into any of these various contracts and protocols. That is a culmination of the experience of Multicoin Capital, Jump Crypto, and Galaxy Digital, so you’re really getting the best of all three worlds.” Join IBN’s Carmel Fisher for a conversation with Kyle Samani, Chairman of Forward Industries, as he outlines how the company is pioneering a new model for blockchain treasury management.

CryptoCurrencyWire’s latest audio production features Andrew Gordon, Managing Attorney of Gordon Law Group, a firm specializing in helping individuals and businesses navigate the complexities of digital asset taxation, including NFTs and DeFi.  During the interview, Gordon discussed some key steps to staying on the right track with tax compliance, particularly when it comes to crypto activity.  “Crypto tax compliance is, unfortunately, quite difficult. As a taxpayer or individual investor, if you're trading on more than just one exchange, you typically are responsible for your own tax reporting,” said Gordon. “You need to obtain all the different documents from different exchanges or sources that you've used and compile those tax reports. One of the most important yet basic steps is to ensure you have all records or documents from the various exchanges or platforms where you’ve traded.”  “The IRS has had a question on tax returns for quite a few years now asking taxpayers whether or not they've had crypto activity to report. Going all the way back to 2014, the IRS issued guidance saying that crypto was reportable on your tax return as property, so this requirement has existed for many years. We talk to people all the time who are just learning about this requirement but wanting to be on the right side of the law and tax compliant.”  “The IRS has a few ways to do this. One of the most straightforward ways is amending your tax returns, working with a professional or identifying what those crypto amounts should be on your own. There are also more formal programs, such as the IRS Voluntary Disclosure Program, which is available for people who knew they had to report but for whatever reason did not… The IRS is getting more information than ever before from a variety of sources, including exchanges that are located outside the U.S… With this information, the IRS has decided to send a warning letter to many individuals, identifying crypto transactions that may not have been reported. We're talking to people on a daily basis that have been receiving this letter, so it's a great opportunity to be proactive if you haven't fully reported previously.

CryptoNewsAudio’s latest production features Natalia Karayaneva, CEO of Propy, a company at the forefront of revolutionizing real estate through blockchain. During the interview, Karayaneva discussed a recent example of how Propy is leveraging blockchain technology to streamline real estate transactions.   “We recently helped facilitate the sale of a $650,000 single-family home in Florida. What’s fascinating about this deal is that it was fully transacted on-chain. The buyer was not actually a crypto-native user—just a real estate investor who trusted our process and the concept of blockchain being immutable,” said Karayaneva. “They were onboarded by our team and executed the deal within 24 hours using our protocols. That’s compared to 30 days of anxiety and a lengthy closing process. These clients were very happy with the experience.”     Karayaneva went on to outline additional benefits of on-chain transactions in real estate.   “Being a crypto founder, I strongly believe that bitcoin is the ultimate store of value. It’s a pristine collateral asset that can be leveraged to acquire other types of assets. Earlier this year, we did the first-ever bitcoin-backed loan used to acquire a home entirely on-chain. Bitcoin holders were able to bid on a property with their bitcoin as collateral. The highest bidder received an instant loan in USDC, which was sent to the seller. As the capital provider, we had dual collateral—both the home, which is tokenized and liquid, and the bitcoin, which can be margin called if bitcoin goes down or the buyer fails to make payments.”   “The beauty of the transaction is that the seller received USDC immediately, and the buyer didn’t have to prematurely exit their bitcoin position and trigger tax obligations. Those of us who hold crypto believe bitcoin will increase in value, so this is a no-brainer scenario for acquiring real estate assets.”   Join IBN’s Jonathan Keim and CryptoNewsAudio’s latest guest as they further explore how tokenizing real estate assets could shape the industry’s future.   Please see full terms of use and disclaimers on the InvestorBrandNetwork website applicable to all content provided by IBN, wherever published or re-published: https://IBN.fm/Disclaimer

CryptoCurrencyWire’s latest audio production features John D'Agostino, Head of Strategy at Coinbase Institutional, a division of Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) that provides solutions, products, and research for institutional crypto investors.   During the interview, D’Agostino discussed his background and current role at Coinbase.   “I’ve spent most of my career in traditional assets but always at the more idiosyncratic edges,” he said. “At a fairly young age, I became head of strategy for the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), which was then the world’s largest commodity derivatives exchange. Crypto trades very similarly to how commodity derivatives did for many years – periods of opacity punctuated by rapid price discovery.”   “Eventually, I joined the board at Polychain, one of the original, highly successful crypto venture capital and hedge funds. It was an incredible place to learn about digital assets with some amazing people. Then, a couple of years ago, I got the call from Coinbase, and I’m thrilled to be working with such a great institution. My role is similar to what I did at the NYMEX – helping institutional clients engage with the market and getting those clients who are thinking about onboarding into crypto over the hump.”   D’Agostino also examined the challenges crypto companies face with traditional banking.   “A lot of folks in crypto proudly admit they're trying to upend the traditional banking system. So, as expected, assets like crypto and commodity options are tougher to bank,” he said. “To bring data into the discussion, I conducted a study involving nearly 300 crypto hedge funds and portfolio companies. Roughly 62% of crypto firms reported meaningful problems accessing basic banking services, compared to less than 1% of traditional funds.”   Join IBN’s Jonathan Keim and CryptoNewsAudio’s latest guest as they discuss how banking challenges have hindered crypto adoption over the years.   Please see full terms of use and disclaimers on the InvestorBrandNetwork website applicable to all content provided by IBN, wherever published or re-published: https://IBN.fm/Disclaimer

CryptoCurrencyWire’s latest audio production features David Garrett, Co-Founder of dVIN Labs, which is using tokenization to bring wine on-chain.   During the interview, Garrett discussed the value proposition of dVIN Labs, even for investors who don’t drink wine.   “Wine is a really interesting asset class. The turnover is about $500 billion every year. To put that in perspective, if you added up the entire global film, television, music, video game, and publishing industries, all of those together are smaller than just the wine business,” he said. “I think there are really two reasons why someone who's interested in blockchain would be interested in dVIN Labs. First, the wine industry is uniquely suited to take advantage of the benefits of blockchain and decentralization to really make some interesting inroads into efficiencies, really charting the path forward for using blockchain to solve real business problems.”   “On the other side, there's a $300 billion asset class inside the wine industry made up of investment-grade wine – wines that have a secondary market. For the last 50 years, that's really been the playground of billionaires. As you tokenize wine, those trades start to become available to everybody. We think there's going to be some really interesting trading opportunities in tokenized wine coming very soon.”   Garrett next provided some insight into his background in the wine industry.   “I started a tech company and sold it, then I dumped the proceeds into a vineyard and a winery in Argentina. I was there for about 10 years and now have another project in Spain. I've spent 20 years in the wine industry, mostly in the luxury investment-grade rare wine sectors, looking for ways to take my tech background and create a better way to do business. The wine industry works the same way today that it worked a thousand years ago. I think that blockchain really could build the operating system for the next thousand years of the industry.”   Join IBN’s Jonathan Keim and CryptoNewsAudio’s latest guest as they discuss how consumers, winemakers and others in the industry are set to benefit from tokenization.   Please see full terms of use and disclaimers on the InvestorBrandNetwork website applicable to all content provided by IBN, wherever published or re-published: https://IBN.fm/Disclaimer

CryptoCurrencyWire’s latest audio production features Tanya Solati, VP of Business Development at Propy Title Agency, a company working to revolutionize the real estate industry through innovative technology and blockchain transparency. She also founded Gen Z & Friends as part of her personal mission to bridge generations with real conversations and fresh perspectives to build a better, connected future.   During the interview, Solati highlighted some of her favorite applications of blockchain technology.   “I love how blockchain can simplify and secure real estate transactions, but I'm equally fascinated by its broader implications,” said Solati. “What really stands out – and maybe it’s because I’m part of the new generation – is self-sovereign identity. It allows individuals to control their digital identities without relying on centralized platforms. This is about empowering users and giving people ownership of their data, which is long overdue.”     Solati then shared Propy’s mission to streamline real estate transactions by eliminating middlemen, a significant differentiator she recently discussed during a panel alongside representatives from Google and Broadridge at Benzinga’s Future of Digital Assets event.   “I think a lot of Web3 firms are focused on removing middlemen, and that’s our aim at Propy. Anyone who has bought a home knows how outdated the process can be – paperwork, delays, and a lack of clear timeframes. With Propy’s AI-powered software, buyers can track every stage of the deal and access a clear timeline that outlines when each step will occur. At the same time, our technology allows deals to close 24/7. That’s something the industry is truly lacking.”   Solati also emphasized Propy’s unique approach to integrating real estate transactions with blockchain technology.   “Everything we do is legally approved. We still register your property through the county, but we also record it on the blockchain. I believe that in 20 years, you’ll be able to bypass the county and go directly onto the blockchain. People push back on this, but 50 years ago, no one imagined retail investors having instant access to markets without brokers. I see a similar shift happening in real estate, and Propy is leading the way as the first and only company registering deeds on the blockchain.”   Join IBN’s Jonathan Keim and CryptoNewsAudio’s latest guest to further explore the transformative role of blockchain technology in the real estate industry.   Please see full terms of use and disclaimers on the InvestorBrandNetwork website applicable to all content provided by IBN, wherever published or re-published: https://IBN.fm/Disclaimer

CryptoCurrencyWire’s latest audio production features Jason Dehni, Co-Founder and CEO of Credbull, a leading DeFi platform offering structured high fixed yield solutions in private credit for small-to-medium sized enterprises.   Dehni highlighted the significant growth and maturity of the DeFi sector in recent years, noting a decline in security issues and a shift towards more sophisticated products. He emphasized Credbull's focus on real-world assets and its ability to provide stable, non-correlated, high-risk adjusted fixed yields.   “In the first iteration, we saw an extraordinary level of interest and excitement globally for permissionless financial products that offer a high yield, but we also saw a lot of security issues with rug pulls, hacks and so forth,” he said. “These days, you see fewer and fewer cases on the security front and more maturity of the products that are offered. They tend to be more sophisticated in nature.”     Unlike many DeFi products that experience extreme volatility, Credbull is focused on offering consistent performance regardless of market cycles. By diversifying investments and hedging against broader market fluctuations, Credbull's products are designed to provide a well-balanced portfolio for investors.   “Credbull is a hybrid between the discipline of traditional finance and the on-chain infrastructure and decentralized access to high-performing products. Our proposition is non-correlated, high risk adjusted fixed yields. We don't compete against the yields that spike up at 30-40% and drop the next month to 2-3% or lower. We offer crypto investment products that perform regardless of the market cycles.”   “Some of our products right now offer 10% fixed and 20-30% participation in the performance of the fund. We structure the products to serve two problems: One is the high level of correlation and volatility; our product is consistently stable. The other is diversification. Our products allow you to diversify and hedge against the broader market, so that you have a well-balanced portfolio.”   Join IBN’s Jonathan Keim and CryptoNewsAudio’s latest guest to learn more about the advantages Credbull unlocks compared to both traditional finance options and yield-generating DeFi offerings.   Please see full terms of use and disclaimers on the InvestorBrandNetwork website applicable to all content provided by IBN, wherever published or re-published: https://IBN.fm/Disclaimer

CryptoCurrencyWire’s latest audio production features Co-Founder and CEO of Verida, a pioneering decentralized data network and self-custody wallet that empowers users with control over their digital identity and data.   To begin the interview, Were discussed his background before introducing Verida and its mission.   “In high school, I started building websites and, over the years, that evolved into web applications in Web 2.0. More recently, I’ve been working in Web3 and the blockchain space,” he said. “Throughout that journey, I've worked on all sorts of interesting projects – from algorithmic trading on stock markets to real-time search engines. Notably, I had a company building CRM software for nonprofit organizations. In that role, we had to deal with a lot of sensitive information about individuals, so I learned a lot about securing personal data and came face-to-face with some of the challenges that exist.”   “That particular business showed me that there was this really important problem to solve around technology and digital identity – who owns and controls our personal data and how it’s used. That was really the impetus to starting Verida and thinking about how a lot of the blockchain and decentralized technology could be applied, not just in crypto assets but also in terms of identity and data ownership.”   “Verida is an abbreviation of the words verification, identity and data, and that’s really at our core. It's this idea of owning your identity and your data and everything being verifiable. In a world where the big tech companies own and control that data, we're at their whim in terms of what happens with that information. The big tech companies profit from your data, and they're the only ones that can innovate and create new products using your data.

CryptoCurrencyWire’s latest audio production features Moe Levin, Founder of WAGMI Miami, the flagship event for blockchain and Web3 innovators.   To begin the interview, Levin discussed his roots in blockchain and crypto, as well as the upcoming conference scheduled for January 21-24, 2025.   “With things like AI, technologies that weren't used before are becoming more popular with retail, enterprise, public and private businesses,” he said. “Three or four years ago, Vitalik from Ethereum said something pretty important, which is that the most exciting projects are the ones we haven’t seen yet. The biggest developments are the ones that we couldn’t even predict. Since then, nobody could have predicted NFTs being so popular. There's always been people talking about faster, smoother transactions with crypto, but now it's proliferating the entire industry.”   “Since 2013, I've been hosting these events in Miami for people to see what's new and start the year off with exciting developments from around the world. The events also foster a sort of serendipity among all the people in the industry to create together and develop new projects and ideas, and see what comes out of that, because the fruits of those discussions and partnerships that happen in January are seen a year or two later. Certainly not at the event, and maybe not within six months, but some people become partners, and a year and a half later, they're developing the most exciting thing you've seen.”   “The events always have a speaker lounge behind the curtain, and it's fantastic to share time with the presenters and talk about what they're working on. It really is getting a front row seat to the newest developments in crypto, because you could put your fingerprints on those new developments when they come so early. In 2014, to give you some ancient history in crypto, Ethereum decided to launch at our event, and we were negotiating what it would look like. You're able to help and enact change in the industry by opening your network and sharing new ideas. That’s really special. I don't see that in a lot of industries the same way.”   Join IBN’s Jonathan Keim and CryptoNewsAudio’s latest guest to learn more about the exciting trends currently taking shape in the crypto space.   Please see full terms of use and disclaimers on the InvestorBrandNetwork website applicable to all content provided by IBN, wherever published or re-published: https://IBN.fm/Disclaimer

CryptoCurrencyWire’s latest audio production features Daniel Keller, Co-Founder of Flux, a decentralized Web3 cloud infrastructure comprised of user-operated, scalable and globally distributed computational nodes. To begin the interview, Keller discussed why he believes Flux is the best kept secret in the blockchain space. “Up to this point, blockchain has been mostly speculatory. People have come in with the premise of ‘number go up’, so the predominant amount of development dollars that came into the ecosystem was built around marketing, PR and creating this FOMO or frothiness that comes with blockchain. Flux wanted to be completely different from that,” Keller said. “We put no money into our marketing and PR for a very long time.” “We made a very concerted effort to not create undue and unnecessary attention around the product. We wanted to build the product out and have a fully functional ecosystem prior to engaging people in retail, business and enterprise. That’s a little bit different than what everyone else has done… That really comes down from our community and all the way up to the co-founders and across the board. To us, if we build a product and we create this frothiness around it when the product doesn’t function like it’s supposed to, they’ll come one time but then won’t return. We want to make sure people come in and see real-world solutions – a lot of them – so that blockchain can truly scale appropriately.” Keller next discussed how Flux compares to Amazon’s AWS service. “If you’re developing your infrastructure and deploying it on AWS, you’re not decentralized. Flux is different, because we offer the same products and services, but we’ve created a peer-to-peer model, with Flux acting as an intermediate between the two… With Flux, you have people who have compute resources and people who need compute resources, and we connect them peer-to-peer so they can basically create a virtual marketplace for compute. That breaks down the oligarchy of the Amazons and Googles who have price-controlled compute resources and stifled innovation under the guise of providing a higher level of service… Flux products are ran globally. They’re basically unfettered. You can’t censor them. That’s exactly where we need to be overall.” Join IBN’s Jonathan Keim and CrytoNewsAudio’s latest guest to learn more about the interesting things people are doing on Flux that they could never have done before.
