CryptoCurrencyWire Audio Production Featuring Kyle Samani, Chairman of Forward Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: FORD) [Video Edition]
Oct 2300:20:39Tap to summarizeAUSTIN, 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.

Transcribe →CryptoNewsAudio Production featuring Andrew Gordon, Managing Attorney of Gordon Law Group
May 12, 202500:10:42Tap to summarizeCryptoCurrencyWire’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.

Transcribe →CryptoNewsAudio Production Featuring Natalia Karayaneva, CEO of Propy
Apr 9, 202500:19:44Tap to summarizeCryptoNewsAudio’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.

Feb 17, 202500:29:36Tap to summarizeCryptoCurrencyWire’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.

Feb 14, 202500:29:16Tap to summarizeCryptoCurrencyWire’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.
