BitMart, a trusted global digital asset service provider, today announced its official partnership with CryptoKnights, the world’s first reality TV show focused on blockchain entrepreneurship. Through this historic collaboration, BitMart CEO Nathan (Nenter) Chow will join the prestigious Season 2 judging panel in multiple episodes throughout the season, bringing strategic expertise from one of the industry’s most globally active exchanges to a cast already comprised of crypto visionaries and mainstream figures.

After the successful debut of Season 1, produced and created by Emmy nominee and Ritestream.io CEO Riaz Mehta and streaming on major platforms including Prime Video, OSN, Roku and Pluto TV, CryptoKnights returns bigger, bolder and much more global for Season 2. The show is hosted by Emmy-nominated actor and longtime crypto advocate Adrian Grenier (best known for his role on the hit HBO television series Entourage), who guides the ambitious crypto founders through high-stakes pitches in front of a panel of world-class investors.
The Season 2 jury brings together an unprecedented mix of blockchain pioneers and mainstream celebrities. Returning judge and billionaire investor Brock Pierce will be joined by NBA champion Tristan Thompson, alongside BitMart CEO Nathan Chow. Nathan Chow was a former partner at Animoca’s venture capital fund and has 17 years of traditional finance experience on Wall Street in New York, covering venture and liquid investments, cross-border M&A, leveraged financing and strategy. Together, they bring expertise spanning blockchain innovation, exchange operations, business creation, entertainment and mainstream cultural influence.
“BitMart has always worked to bridge traditional finance and the rapidly expanding world of digital assets. By joining CryptoKnights as a judge, we are moving beyond the exchange terminal and into the boardroom where the next generation of visionary founders are shaping the future,” said Nathan Chow. “This platform allows us to support groundbreaking Web3 teams, shine a light on true innovation, and help the general public understand how cryptocurrency is driving the evolution of global entrepreneurship through a format that transforms complexity into relevant storytelling.”
“CryptoKnights was created to bridge the gap between cutting-edge Web3 innovation and the mainstream. Partnering with BitMart for Season 2 furthers this mission, allowing us to spotlight promising projects while expanding our global reach through a trusted exchange platform,” said Riaz Mehta.
Unlike traditional business reality shows, CryptoKnights exclusively highlights blockchain-native companies, ranging from DeFi protocols to DePIN, L1/L2 infrastructure, AI and blockchain, GameFi, neobanks, and more. The show offers entrepreneurs a way to move from concept to real-world deployment through industry mentorship, incubation support and access to global distribution networks. With BitMart’s global reach, winners can benefit from potential technical support, strategic resources and a real chance of being listed on a major exchange, subject to applicable policies and regulatory requirements.
As an official partner, BitMart will provide market intelligence, technical expertise and potentially referral opportunities for the most notable candidates, subject to applicable policies and regulatory requirements. This level of integration provides a unique avenue for projects to evolve into commercial-ready businesses, giving founders and viewers real skin in the game.
Season 2 of CryptoKnights is currently in pre-production, with plans for expanded international release underway. Additional details, including release dates and new platform partnerships, will be announced soon. As blockchain continues to establish itself in mainstream culture, this partnership highlights the rapid convergence of entertainment and digital finance, and BitMart is proud to be part of this evolution.
“This collaboration comes at a pivotal time for BitMart,” Chow added. “With the recent launch of BitMart United Statesa regulated US exchange operating in 49 states, we are expanding our global presence in the world’s largest crypto market. By supporting new entertainment media like CryptoKnights, we align our global expansion strategy with our mission to make digital assets accessible to both the general public and institutional investors.
