CNBC's financial show "Fast Money" is doing a special 'goes crypto' edition, featuring leaders behind high profile crypto projects and funds such as Coinbase, Ripple, Passport Capital and Social Capital.

While there's nothing to indicate anything beyond this being a CNBC assembled panel to discuss cryptocurrency - Ripple forums are full of speculation of a 'surprise announcement'.

"Fast Money" airs on CNBC weekdays 5pm EST.

VIA CNBC: Malachi Salcido, Salcido Enterprises CEO, discusses how his bitcoin mining service has taken over central Washington state.

VIA CNBC: Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse discusses the use of block chain technology to send money across the world in real time settlements.
