Rare Evo Conference

Pioneering interview series becomes one of only three programs to claim this prestigious honor twice, continuing 11-year legacy of industry-defining conversations

Las Vegas, NV — Crypto Coin Show has been awarded the 2025 Web3 Influencer Award for “Best Interviews” at the Rare Evo Conference in Las Vegas.

The victory comes as the Web3 media landscape becomes increasingly competitive, with over 200 blockchain-focused content creators nominated across all categories this year.

“Honestly, I’m just excited that people are recognizing the value of long-form conversations in this space. There’s so much noise out there, and we’ve always believed in taking the time to really dive deep with the people building the future of Web3,” said Ashton Addison, Founder and CEO of Crypto Coin Show.

“Crypto Coin Show consistently delivers the depth and authenticity that our industry needs. Their interview format creates space for nuanced discussions that drive real understanding, not just hype. They’ve earned this recognition through sustained excellence over more than a decade,” said Adam Charles, Director of the Web3 Influencer Awards.
