Episode 24 – Moshe Cohen on private DeFi, AI agents, and the future of trading

In this episode of Tech It or Leave It, Hamed Faqirzai, Vice President of Global Development at Luna PR, sits down with Moshe Cohen, CEO of PriveX. Moshe breaks down the core limitation of DeFi today, where full transparency can prevent institutional participation due to the exposure of trading strategies and positions. The conversation introduces PriveX, a private perpetual decentralized exchange that uses garbled circuits, a high-performance, ZK-adjacent encryption method, to enable confidential trading without sacrificing decentralization or execution speed. They also explore the rise of agentic AI, where autonomous agents can analyze data, make decisions, and execute trades on behalf of users, shifting trading from manual execution to AI-driven systems. The discussion touches on the broader role of AI, its impact on productivity, and the long-term outlook toward AGI, including its potential to drive major breakthroughs while remaining guided by human intent. This episode is for traders, builders, and financial operators exploring the intersection of privacy, DeFi, and AI-driven markets.
