magazine Forbes frequently run statistics to estimate the wealth of best entrepreneurs in several fields and cryptocurrencies are no exception.

In April 2022, Forbes published a ranking of the richest cryptocurrency billionaires, not being aware of that shortly just after the chain collapse of LUNA-UST (May), the “liquidity crisis” Three Arrows Capital – Voyager – Celsius (June, July, August) would get started and the most recent is the “catastrophe” of the FTX exchange (November), which brought about the price tag of Bitcoin and the key cryptocurrencies to divide quite a few instances.

Therefore, the crypto billionaire ranking of Forbes There was also a good deal of uproar when the names in it have been also impacted by the industry crash. On December 24, this magazine launched the asset statistics of the cryptocurrency “giants” as under.

The man or woman who suffered the most was the CEO of Binance Changpeng Zhao when assets fell from $65 billion to just $four.five billion. Even so, Binance’s operations have not been impacted substantially and have even acquired much more industry share in the trading section now that FTX is no longer offered, so it really is challenging to comprehend how this kind of a drastic reduction in assets came about. “unique” place at the minute in the cryptocurrency industry. However, Binance has skilled a good deal of unfavorable information recently as investor self-confidence in the CEX section has been severely eroded.

Meanwhile, the most significant losers in 2022 are the owners of bankrupt crypto companies, which include the former CEO of FTX. Sam Bankman-Friedformer CTO of FTX Gary Wang and in distinct the CEO of Digital Currency Group Barry Silbert – all 3 are fine Forbes registered assets diminished to zero It is correct that just after the failure of FTX, all the assets that Sam Bankman-Fried and Gary Wang had in this platform “evaporated” entirely. The two are nevertheless getting ready for a legal battle in the United States when former CTO Gary Wang has pleaded guilty, and Sam is asking for bail in a settlement of up to $250 million and is due to reappear in court at a later on date. starting of the month.01/2023.

The surprising title is Digital Currency Group CEO Barry Silbert since when he has not announced bankruptcy still, he nevertheless is Forbes place a query mark when you deliver the $three.two billion assets to zero. As Coinlive reported, Digital Currency Group and its subsidiary, a Genesis Trading lending unit given that November, have been embroiled in liquidity issues just after FTX, reviews have also appeared that these two names had misplaced the potential to shell out their debts and have been in danger of bankruptcy.

With Sam Bankman-Fried gone, CEO of Coinbase Brian Armstrong rose to 2nd area in the ranking of Forbes. Even so, Coinbase also had a incredibly unsuccessful 2022 as it had to lower its complete personnel by 18%, grew to become embroiled in the “insider trading” scandal, and the exchange’s COIN share price tag hit a record reduced at the commence of this week, down 87%. in a 12 months.

Bitcoin investor Michael Saylor then misplaced his “billionaire” title, his assets decreased from $one.six billion to $640 million. The 12 months 2022 was a bleak time for Mr. Saylor and his firm MicroStrategy, when Bitcoin’s “all-in” system failed as BTC plummeted, leading to the firm to get rid of $one.seven billion. Saylor himself had to stage down as CEO of the firm he founded for practically thirty many years due to lousy investment choices. Even so, Mr. Saylor nevertheless believes in BTC.

Other crypto billionaires, who very own huge corporations this kind of as Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini, OpenSea, Alchemy, and so forth., have also observed their assets divided in between two and six instances their worth in this 2022.

To sum up, Forbes it presently demonstrates the best 17 billionaires misplaced up to $116 billion in assets only just after eight months.

However, the statistics of Forbes has been criticized by the crypto neighborhood for not disclosing how to estimate assets, risking miscalculating Changpeng Zhao Barry Silbert’s assets. Moreover, Forbes involve in their listing only the “big guys” from the West, but disregard the “rich underground giants” from the East like Justin Sun, or the owners of large cryptocurrency exchanges right here like OKX, Bybit, and so forth.
