    Fan, Trust Wallet CEO — 200M Users, #3 in Bitcoin Volume, and Inscriptions OGs Won't Like

    Felix Fan runs Trust Wallet — 200 million users and, per his own numbers, the third-largest self-custodial wallet by Bitcoin transaction volume. At Consensus 2026 he sits down with David Sencil to drop the stats, the controversies, and the roadmap.The tension Felix is honest about: shipping innovations on Bitcoin — like inscriptions — that Bitcoin OGs don't love. The Trust Wallet bet is that the next 100M users care more about features than purity, while still wanting self-custody. He also gets specific about what's NOT shipped yet: private swap, private transfer, and Zcash support are all built but waiting on legal frameworks.We cover:- The 200M-user and #3 Bitcoin volume claim- Inscriptions on Bitcoin and the OG debate- Gasless stablecoin transfers via RPC-level sponsorship- Trust Wallet's agent kit for AI on-chain- Perps, prediction markets, and the regulatory wall on privacyFilmed at Consensus 2026.Host: David Sencil

From bodyguards at conferences to wrench-attack fears and real-world theft tactics, the episode explores whether “not your keys, not your coins” is running into a brutal real-world limit.A wide-ranging conversation on Bitcoin, macro, AI-driven markets, Hyperliquid, security, and the narratives shaping crypto right now.00:50 - Welcome Back and Market Overview02:13 - Crypto Market Analysis03:39 - Glassnode Chart Explanation04:51 - Cycle Length Chart Discussion06:12 - Inflation and Rate Cuts07:43 - Stock Market and Fed Transitions09:10 - Bullish Sentiments and AI Impact12:07 - Crypto and CapEx Spending13:44 - Future of Bitcoin and Crypto23:26 - Hyper Liquid and USDC Partnership27:17 - Regulation and Hyper Liquid's Future33:29 - Hyper Liquid Market Cap Surge33:50 - Crypto Security Concerns41:27 - Conclusion and Wrap-Up
