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

About this episode

Felix Fan discusses Trust Wallet's growth, Bitcoin transaction volume, and the challenges of innovating in the Bitcoin space.

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 privacy Filmed at Consensus 2026.Host: David Sencil
