In the latest installment of the Bet It Drives podcast, Season 4, Episode 3, Max Krupyshev, CEO of CoinsPaid and CryptoProcessing.com, joins host Yevhen Krazhan to deconstruct the evolution of the digital asset economy.
Having entered the crypto space in 2013, Krupyshev provides a veteran’s perspective on why the industry’s future depends on rigorous controls rather than the perceived anonymity of the past.
Debunking the Anonymity Myth
A central theme of the episode is the maturation of crypto from a niche experiment to a regulated financial powerhouse. Krupyshev is quick to correct long-standing industry misconceptions that have often hindered mainstream B2B adoption.
“Crypto was never anonymous—that was a misconception,” Max Krupyshev states during the drive through Barcelona.
Throughout the episode, Krupyshev breaks down how the industry matured, why mass adoption is now inevitable, and why modern risks have shifted away from traditional concerns.
The Strategic Roadblock: Fraud and B2B Scaling
For iGaming operators and payment professionals, the episode serves as a masterclass in risk management. Krupyshev explores the most common crypto fraud patterns in the B2B sector and provides a roadmap for winning, and maintaining, high-value deals.
Key discussion points include:
- Is crypto still associated with money laundering?
- Can crypto transactions still be completely anonymous?
- The most common crypto fraud patterns in B2B
- How to win big deals in business (and the fastest way to lose one)
- What he dislikes in iGaming + crypto, and what the industry needs to fix next
- The 8-Bitcoin story: what he spent it on, and why he doesn’t regret it
- His most remarkable iGaming partnership, and why it mattered
- Where crypto will be in 10 years, and what happens to cash along the way
Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech and host of Bet It Drives:
“This episode is practical. Max explains the risks, how fraud happens in practice, and what operators should look for in a payment provider. If you handle payments in iGaming, this episode lays out what matters, and what doesn’t.”
Industry Outlook: The Next 10 Years
Krupyshev concludes with a vision for the next decade, predicting the eventual displacement of traditional cash and the total integration of crypto into the global financial fabric.
Between the high-level industry talk, the episode maintains its signature energy with the “Confess or Call” segment, where Krupyshev is forced into a dramatic prank call to his Head of Sales.
