Illia Polosukhin, co-founder of NEAR Protocol, joins Ashton Addison on the Crypto Coin Show to break down everything NEAR has shipped since June: privacy by default across trading, confidential perps, IronClaw for AI agents, tokenized stocks through NEAR Intents, quantum-safe signing on mainnet, and the new Bitwise NEAR ETF.

We also cover the shield that stopped Bitget hack funds from moving through NEAR Intents, why liquidity is the key to tokenized stocks, the NEAR distribution for early confidential intents users, and what the team wants to ship before 2027. Not financial advice.
