BitMart Exchange Announces Partnership with Popular Reality Show "Crypto Knights" Season 2

January 5, 2026, global digital asset trading platform BitMart today officially announced a partnership with the world's first blockchain entrepreneurship-themed reality TV show, "CryptoKnights". As part of this significant collaboration, BitMart CEO Nathan (Nenter) Chow will serve as a judge across multiple episodes of the show's second season, bringing strategic insights and practical experience from one of the world's most active crypto trading platforms to the program.

The first season of "CryptoKnights," produced and launched by Emmy-nominated Riaz Mehta, CEO of Ritestream.io, has been broadcast on mainstream platforms including Prime Video, OSN, Roku, and Pluto TV, receiving positive feedback. The second season will be comprehensively upgraded, featuring more international coverage and diverse content. Hosted by Emmy-nominated actor and veteran cryptocurrency advocate Adrian Grenier (known for HBO's hit series "Entourage"), the show will guide blockchain entrepreneurs from around the world through high-intensity project pitches, facing a top-tier panel of investment judges.

The judging panel for the second season is star-studded, bringing together pioneers from the blockchain field and representatives from mainstream culture. Billionaire investor Brock Pierce will return to the judges' table, joined by NBA champion Tristan Thompson and BitMart CEO Nathan Chow. Nathan Chow, a former partner at Animoca Brands' venture capital fund, brings 17 years of traditional finance experience from Wall Street in New York, spanning venture capital, secondary market investment, cross-border M&A, leveraged financing, and corporate strategy. The three judges will provide unique perspectives on blockchain innovation, exchange operations, startup incubation, the entertainment industry, and mainstream cultural influence for the competing projects.

BitMart CEO Nathan Chow stated: "BitMart has always been committed to bridging traditional finance with the rapidly evolving world of digital assets. By participating in 'CryptoKnights' as a judge, we are stepping out from the trading terminal and into the real 'boardroom' where the next generation of innovators is being nurtured. This platform allows us to support truly groundbreaking Web3 teams, showcase real innovation, and help mainstream audiences understand how crypto technology is driving the evolution of the global entrepreneurial ecosystem through more accessible, story-driven narratives."

Riaz Mehta stated: "The original purpose of creating 'CryptoKnights' was to bridge the knowledge gap between cutting-edge Web3 innovation and mainstream audiences. Partnering with BitMart will further strengthen this mission, showcasing high-quality projects while expanding our international reach through a trusted global trading platform."

Unlike traditional business reality shows, "CryptoKnights" focuses on native blockchain projects, covering multiple cutting-edge sectors such as DeFi, DePIN, L1/L2 infrastructure, AI × Blockchain, GameFi, and Neobanks. The show provides entrepreneurs with a complete pathway from concept validation to practical implementation, including industry mentorship, incubation support, and global distribution network resources. Leveraging BitMart's global influence, winning projects have the opportunity to receive technical support, strategic resources, and even potential exchange listing opportunities, subject to compliance with relevant policies and regulatory requirements. This deep integration offers a unique runway for projects to mature into market-ready products, allowing entrepreneurs and audiences to truly "share the risk and share the value."

Currently, the second season of "CryptoKnights" is in pre-production, with international broadcast plans being developed simultaneously. Specific release dates and additional broadcasting platforms will be announced soon. As blockchain continues to move to the forefront of mainstream culture, this collaboration highlights the accelerating trend of convergence between the entertainment industry and digital finance, a process BitMart will continue to participate in and promote.

Nathan Chow further added: "This partnership comes at a pivotal moment in BitMart's development. With the official launch of BitMart US — a locally compliant trading platform operating in 49 U.S. states — we are expanding our global footprint into the world's largest crypto market. By supporting innovative entertainment content like 'CryptoKnights,' we are closely integrating our global expansion strategy with our mission to 'make digital assets accessible to mainstream users and institutional investors.'"
