The CryptoNewsAudio Podcast

AUSTIN, Texas, November 3, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – 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 Dr. Vin Menon, CEO of MindWave Innovations Inc. (NYSE American: APUS), a digital asset and technology company providing institutional-grade treasury infrastructure for the digital asset economy. To begin the interview, Menon discussed MindWave's development of MindChain, an institutional blockchain platform designed to combine digital asset infrastructure with insurance protection. “We started our journey around three years back. We started creating a Bitcoin-backed DAO, or decentralized autonomous organization,” Menon said. “Slowly, that moved into setting up our own Layer 2, which is our own blockchain. We became the world's first fully insured blockchain, reinsured by Lloyd's of London syndicates and the markets and other rated insurance partners… We are providing blockchain ecosystems to the world while handling our own Bitcoin yield generation platform as the underlying business.” Menon then highlighted MindWave's efforts to establish enterprise blockchain ecosystems across multiple industries, including climate technology, media and advertising, and insurance. “We created one ecosystem called ClimateTech, and we partnered with AQUAE Impact, based out of Singapore and the Middle East. They are creating ecosystem credits, and we are bringing those credits into the blockchain,” Menon said. “The second agreement we have signed is AdTech, helping a public company trading on Nasdaq move their whole business onto the blockchain... The third one which we are building is InsurTech to move insurance claims, reinsurance treaties and claim processing into smart contracts, using MindChain as the backbone... We have created three ecosystems. We are also looking at more and more businesses to come on board.” Looking ahead, Menon explained MindWave's enterprise revenue model, including licensing fees, participation in digital assets and recurring maintenance agreements. “Whenever we launch any of the institutions or enterprise businesses onto a blockchain, there is always a one-time fee. That is basically like the enterprise license with any of the big companies,” Menon said. “We offer the service and manage the service, so we are getting enterprise revenue from the businesses. We are also taking some stake in the tokens or the digital assets created... We also take care of the maintenance contract… There are multiple levels of revenue, but most of it starts from the enterprise license and the maintenance contract, and that is going to be recurring as long as they use the blockchain.” Join IBN’s Carmel Fisher for a conversation with Dr. Vin Menon, CEO of MindWave Innovations Inc., as he discusses the company's insured blockchain infrastructure, institutional adoption of digital assets, enterprise partnerships across multiple industries, MindChain's revenue model and opportunities for long-term growth.

AINewsWire Editorial Coverage: Wall Street’s largest institutions are no longer just experimenting with blockchain. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has predicted that “every stock, every bond” will eventually trade on a shared, tokenized ledger. Forbes reported in August that institutions are pushing toward a tokenized market some observers believe could eventually reach $13 trillion. Treasuries and securities are already moving on-chain. The next wave is real-economy assets: equipment, franchises, real estate and private credit. The bottleneck is compliance. Assets that carry securities obligations need identity, transfer restrictions and regulatory controls built directly into the ledger itself. That is the layer TruGolf Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUG) (Profile) now owns, through its acquisition of Polymath Research Inc. and Polymath’s Layer-1 blockchain, Polymesh. TruGolf plans to prove that infrastructure out inside its own franchise network first. The timing is notable. Earlier this month, Polymath announced it is exploring a tokenized film investment platform with CineCity Studios, which operates a 140,000-square-foot Chicago production facility and TruGolf’s infrastructure beyond golf and into entertainment finance. With the closing of the acquisition, TruGolf is now positioned in the market for regulated tokenization and digital securities infrastructure, a sector in which leaders such BlackRock Inc. (NYSE: BLK), Nasdaq Inc. (NASDAQ: NDAQ), Intercontinental Exchange Inc. (NYSE: ICE) and Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN) are operating. Institutional tokenization has moved well past the pilot stage. Reports suggest that every stock and every bond will eventually trade on a shared, tokenized ledger. Polymath has reported more than $132 million in tokenized assets issued, more than 65 active issuers and 50-plus ecosystem partners. Rather than simply acquiring tokenization technology and waiting for outside customers, TruGolf is building its first real use case in-house. A common criticism of tokenization-focused public companies is that the underlying business is thin or purely speculative. That critique does not hold up well against TruGolf’s combined financial profile. Infrastructure and revenue numbers matter, but so does who is running the combined company and which institutions are willing to stand next to an organization.

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

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
