Join Alex Tapscott as he decodes the world of crypto with special guest Leonard Dorlöchter, Co-Founder of peaq. Listen in as they discuss the rise of the machine economy and agentic commerce, why blockchain is emerging as the economic layer for AI agents, robots, and connected devices, how concepts like DePIN and machine RWAs enable community-owned, revenue-generating infrastructure, why machines are better suited than humans to transact onchain using stablecoins and DeFi, and how identity, reputation, and autonomous payments could unlock the largest product-market fit blockchain has ever seen.
This week, we break down the evolving DePIN thesis, from real revenue traction to infra financing, regulation, and why some networks are finally compounding at scale. We also discuss the boom in Hyperliquid RWAs, bringing money & companies onchain, 2026 IPOs, and more.

Le concept en 3 lignes : Tu achètes un grand cru → La bouteille reste au coffre → Tu reçois un NFT Ce NFT, tu peux : Le revendre instantanément (liquidité) L'échanger sans bouger la bouteille (zéro empreinte carbone) Le "burn" pour te faire livrer (consommation) Le marché du vin a 3 problèmes : - Traçabilité douteuse - Stockage galère - Revente impossible InterCellar les résout avec la blockchain. Pourquoi c'est brillant ? Avant : ta bouteille voyage entre Londres, Hong Kong, Paris. Empreinte carbone désastreuse + risque d'abîmer le vin. Maintenant : la bouteille ne bouge pas. Seul le NFT circule. Résultat : Marché secondaire liquide + traçabilité totale + durabilité. Ce n'est pas une révolution, c'est une évolution. L'investissement dans le vin existe depuis toujours. InterCellar ajoute juste ce qui manquait : la liquidité. Ça, c'est du NFT utile. Pas de singe pixelisé. Un actif tangible, tokenisé, échangeable. Un projet crypto français qui tient face à la Silicon Valley. --- Nous sommes gestionnaires de patrimoine et conseillers en investissement. Nous accompagnons les citoyens à investir autrement.

C'est l'argent "mort", quand l'État tue la valeur : Tu encaisses 100€. L'État prend sa part en impôts. Il la redistribue à ton locataire en APL. Qui te la redonne en loyer. Résultat : de l'argent qui tourne en rond sans créer de valeur. Aux États-Unis, 100$ encaissés = 100$ vivants. Pas de circuit absurde. Pendant ce temps, on vient d'encaisser un choc inflationniste brutal : 100€ en 2026 = 100 francs en 1996, en tout cas, dans nos têtes aujourd'hui. On a perdu 6,57x de pouvoir d'achat. Même si ton compte affiche le même chiffre, de l'argent t'a été pris. Et avec les cycles économiques qui arrivent, comment on absorbe le prochain choc avec une monnaie déjà entamée ? L'euro a un problème structurel. Le Brexit a ouvert une brèche. Si l'Angleterre prospère hors de l'UE dans les 10 prochaines années, d'autres suivront. Mais pour nous ?

2025 was a year of major shifts for crypto and not just in headlines, but in what actually matters for builders: fundamentals, real-world use cases and sustainable revenue.In this episode of Byte-Sized Insight, we are joined by Leonard Dorlöchter, co-founder of peaq, to break down what quietly worked in 2025 and what the industry should be paying attention to in 2026. Leonard explains how DePIN began gaining real traction, why “fundamentals started mattering more,” and how the industry may be maturing while also losing sight of Web3's original decentralization ethos. The conversation also explores the rise of AI agents and robotics, new standards for machine-to-machine coordination, and what it could look like when devices, machines and autonomous agents begin transacting onchain as part of a global machine economy.(1:58) Leonard introduces peaq and the “machine economy”(4:03) 2025 shift: fundamentals and real revenue start to matter(5:24) Web3 maturity vs. losing the decentralization ethos(7:33) Blockchain as neutral global infrastructure and governance layer(10:45) 2025 breakthroughs: physical AI and new standards for agents(12:18) Why machine coordination is moving onchain(13:31) Breaking down “machine economy” onchain vs offchain(14:01) Example: tokenized machines, peer-to-peer energy, shared ownership(17:51) Trust, reputation and efficiency in an open-machine economy(20:23) Real-world adoption: robot in production in Hong Kong, onchain rewards(22:06) 2026 outlook: robotics protocols, onchain goods/services, sovereign agents(25:12) Policy gap: regulation progress but not fully aligned with Web3 ethos(28:42) Why peaq partnered with VARA, machine economy free zone sandbox(30:12) Builder advice for 2026: validate value, traction and real revenueThis episode was hosted and produced by Savannah Fortis, @savannah_fortis.Follow Cointelegraph on X @Cointelegraph.Check out Cointelegraph at cointelegraph.com.If you like what you heard, rate us and leave a review!The views, thoughts and opinions expressed in this podcast are its participants alone and do not necessarily reflect or represent the views and opinions of Cointelegraph.

Bitcoin hit $116K before $3.45 billion in liquidations while stablecoins transferred a record $15.6 trillion with bots executing 70% of that volume. Host Tedd Huff, CEO of Voalyre, and BakerHostetler Partner Robert Musiala break down what happened in crypto this month and why it matters to your business now. The SEC issued two major no action letters creating roadmaps for DePIN networks and state bank custody while Treasury opened a 58 question comment period closing October 20th on Genius Act implementation. The Wolfsburg Group published global AML guidance requiring banks to know their customer's customer when serving stablecoin issuers as nine European banks formed a consortium to launch a MICA compliant Euro stablecoin by 2026. Market fragmentation accelerates as purpose built stablecoins target specific communities while USDT and USDC slip to 84% combined share despite growing absolute volumes. Security threats remain the biggest adoption risk even as regulatory clarity emerges. Learn the five moves compliance and product teams should make today: display fees before sends, segment use cases by ecosystem, publish clear redemption rules, run cross chain incident drills, and build a one page control map that speeds both sales cycles and audits. If you manage risk, product, or finance in payments or crypto, this episode gives you the regulatory context and practical steps to act without waiting for Congress.LINKSConfidential Informant:Robert A.

For episode 619 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by Markus Levin, Co-Founder of XYO. After 7+ years on Ethereum, XYO, the first DePIN project established in 2018 and predating the term, is officially launching XYO Layer One, its own L1 blockchain. Designed for DePIN, RWA, AI and other data-heavy industries, this new dual-token blockchain solves the issues holding back blockchain development today. XYO reported a revenue of $8.8M in 2024, and has attracted 80% of its users from outside the crypto space. The decision to migrate from the Ethereum L2 ecosystem was driven by XYO’s own demand for a high-efficiency blockchain after over 7 years of building data-heavy blockchain products for millions of users around the world. The new XYO Layer One blockchain will process large volumes of real-time data with low latency and provide proprietary data validation capabilities for projects that demand performance. XYO will first migrate its own products to the new XYO Layer One blockchain, and be followed by key partners ⏳ Timestamps: (0:00) Introduction(0:54) Who is Markus Levin?(4:50) What is XYO?(6:52) Biggest issues with Data today?(8:05) XYO Solutions(11:25) First Dual-token Layer-1(13:10) Earning XYO Token(16:02) Future of DePIN(19:02) Education resources(20:43) XYO Partnerships(21:10) AI in Data Protection(23:38) XYO roadmap 2025(24:19) Events & Conferences(25:05) XYO website & socials
What happens when blockchain technology moves beyond finance to reshape the physical world around us? In this episode of The Index, host Alex Kehaya sits down with Amira Valliani, Head of DePIN at the Solana Foundation we explore the revolutionary potential of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks and their impact on everything from telecommunications to satellite tracking.Amira's journey from the Obama White House to crypto advocacy offers a unique perspective on bridging the worlds of policy and blockchain innovation. What started as a simple "crypto week" to become conversant at dinner parties blossomed into a three-year mission to help policymakers understand the technology's potential while helping builders navigate Washington's complex landscape.The conversation takes us deep into the world of DePIN projects transforming multiple industries. We discover how GeoNet provides centimeter-precise mapping for agricultural applications, disrupting monopolistic players like John Deere who charge farmers tens of thousands annually for similar services. We explore companies deploying robots through gaming competitions to collect valuable environmental data for future autonomous systems. Perhaps most intriguingly, we learn about "Space DePIN" projects creating decentralized networks for tracking the rapidly growing constellation of satellites orbiting our planet.Beyond the technical innovations, Amira shares valuable insights about engaging with policymakers in Washington DC. She challenges the crypto community to move beyond skepticism and actually visit the Capitol, where they'll find many legislators genuinely curious about blockchain's potential. As she notes, the divide on crypto policy is "much more generational than partisan," with bipartisan support growing as more officials understand the technology's practical applications.If you're a dev working in Web3, exploring DePIN, or building real-world applications on Solana, this conversation offers insight into where the space is headed—and what still stands in its way.Website: https://solana.com/Show LinksThe Index X ChannelYouTube
