A list of 50 people who will lead the crypto industry in 2024
Welcome to this year's most influential list. This is an extraordinary year. The haze at the beginning of 2024 has finally dissipated. With the approval of a Bitcoin ETF in January and Donald Trump’s reelection in November, sentiment about everything about cryptocurrencies changed. New investors entered the market and money flowed across categories. Bitcoin reigns supreme, soaring to $100,000 in December. Bitcoin dominance is above 70%. The US president-elect has also pledged to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve, which could buy up to 5% of the total supply for the United States. The launch of a Bitcoin ETF is the most successful in history, having received $145 billion in investment. Bitcoin has found a widely recognized role as digital gold, and is looking more and more like the base layer of a new financial system. Ethereum fell apart (or so they say) as critics complained about its lengthy development roadmap and poor performance (compared to Solana and other new L15s). Despite this, Ethereum is up 58% (compared to Bitcoin’s 120% YTD gain), and over 500 layer-2s have blossomed. Base, Optimism, and Arbitrum, in particular, have gained traction in the real world. Solana, with a market cap up 111% YTD, is awash with meme coins and a host of not-so-ephemeral projects. Telegram is now a bona fide blockchain player, with its click-to-earn game attracting hundreds of millions of players around the world. DePIN (or decentralized physical infrastructure) takes off as a category, promising both real-world infrastructure (telecom, electricity, mapping, etc.) and a different form of crypto adoption. Polymarket shows that prediction markets could be better than polls and as relevant to crypto traders as regular people. AI becomes part of everything. Stablecoins remain the most popular form of crypto (by transaction volume) and are looking more and more like a global payment layer. USDT dominates, and, with profits so lucrative, Tether has invested in a range of non-USDT projects in the hope of one day being legally traded in the U.S., too. Cryptocurrency showed real political power, helping to get Trump and over 50 other congressional candidates elected. Political action committees like Fairshake look like they’re well-positioned for 2026. Europe, while not as dynamic as Asia and the United States, implemented MICA, becoming the first region to have a comprehensive policy framework. Hong Kong and Singapore lead the way in the Asia-Pacific region. Here are the top 10 crypto industry figures to watch in 2024.
Andy Ayrey (34), an artificial intelligence researcher from New Zealand, calls himself a "performance artist." His AI robot shows how decentralized AI can do encryption, build communities and even turn stories into reality. Andy Ayrey created Truth Terminal. In a sense, Truth Terminal affects the real world of humans, currencies and cryptocurrencies. Because Truth Terminal created GOAT, Truth Terminal turned a vulgar joke into a $1 billion fortune, embodied the narrative of the "AI agent economy", and in many ways represents greater hope for the booming space of "crypto + artificial intelligence."
During this cycle, he’s made a tidy profit (he won’t reveal how much) using Solana and a range of meme coins. His tweets on X about tokens to watch have received hundreds of thousands of views. His Solana rants have earned him titles like “The Solana Man.” Back in 2020, Ansem started tweeting about buying tokens when he had just 100 followers. When some of his bets started paying off, followers started to roll in. He became a minor celebrity, known for his early forays into Solana, Avalanche, and other assets. Today, he’s probably best associated with Dogwifhat, a token that had a market cap of $100,000 when he started promoting it (it’s now worth over $3 billion).
Lummis is the most prominent cryptocurrency advocate in Congress, a leading proponent of establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve and a leading advocate of stablecoin legislation in the second chamber. With Republicans taking control of all three branches of government in 2025, both issues are likely to be on the agenda this year. She has held Bitcoin since 2013 and has a unique understanding of its importance. “We need a store of value that is decoupled from the economy.” This year, she introduced stablecoin legislation along with New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D) and is expected to become a leading advocate on the issue.
Since Trump won a second term as U.S. President, the price of Bitcoin has soared over the past month, rising by more than $30,000, or about 45%. It is widely believed that the speed at which Bitcoin rose to triple digits was a direct result of Trump's victory. The crypto industry hopes that with Trump entering the White House next year, the crypto industry will finally gain regulatory clarity, paving the way for further growth and expansion of the digital asset industry. "If cryptocurrency is going to define the future, I want it to be mined, minted, and manufactured in the United States."
Fairshake is the biggest corporate money player in American politics. Coinbase, Ripple Labs, and crypto investment firm a16z created Fairshake from the ashes of the industry’s newest campaign mechanism. Fairshake is a brand new endeavor that “truly brings together the best and blue chip companies in the crypto and blockchain space.”
In 2024, Kraken, Uniswap, World Network (formerly Worldcoin), and Sony's blockchain lab all used Optimism's technology to create their own scalable blockchains. The "textbook" project she began to focus her time on was Plasma , an expansion design that predated rollups and eventually became the predecessor of today's Optimism. After the establishment of Plasma Group, she found that people really wanted a Layer 2 with lower fees and faster transactions, so they made adjustments and came up with a sketch of optimistic rollup. Optimism uses this technology to package large amounts of transaction data into digestible batches, making its transaction costs lower than Ethereum. Since Optimism went online, Rollups have become so popular that they have been widely used. Other well-known projects include Arbitrum, Blast, zkSync, Polygon, Starknet, and Scroll.
In 2023, BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, shocked the investment and cryptocurrency world by applying to create a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund. As the financial giant unexpectedly entered the cryptocurrency field, the price of BTC soared. In 2024, BlackRock and several other issuers received permission from US regulators. Many people suspect that BlackRock's strong support for a Bitcoin ETF may help influence the SEC. According to Coinmarketcap data, the market value of cryptocurrencies has grown from about $1 trillion when BlackRock filed for a Bitcoin ETF to nearly $3.6 trillion now. Waiting for the right time may be Fink's secret. He believes that the difference between a great company and a good company is not that they are the earliest adapters of new trends, but their ability and openness to be reborn in a changing world. BlackRock is not the inventor of ETFs. Someone else invented ETFs in 1993. But fifteen years ago, Fink's company achieved great success in the field by acquiring iShares. This year, iShares launched BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF. Nate Geraci, an ETF expert who has closely followed the development of cryptocurrency ETFs, said: “One of the most powerful and influential figures in finance supports a cryptocurrency ETF, which is obviously a game changer.”
By 2024, Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan had built it into a multibillion-dollar business and a popular gauge of political sentiment , cited by everyone from Donald Trump to CNN. Coplan has brought unprecedented attention to an idea that has long been argued in academia: that the wisdom of the crowd, coupled with personal interests, can produce more accurate predictions — or at least a more accurate measure of sentiment — than traditional experts or polls. During this year’s US presidential election alone, Polymarket’s trading volume reached $3.6 billion, accounting for 74% of the market share. In previous election cycles, the entire prediction market industry’s trading volume has never exceeded $1 billion.
Kannan considers EigenLayer a “scrappy startup.” Over the past 12 months, EigenLayer — which allows emerging blockchain applications to borrow Ethereum’s strong security — has grown from a relative unknown to an industry giant. The platform has raised more than $100 million from venture capital firms such as Andreessen Horowitz and attracted hundreds of millions of dollars in deposits from crypto users seeking extra yield even before it fully launched. Many were incentivized by a viral points program that investors hoped would translate into lucrative token airdrops in the future. EigenLayer's success during the bear market is remarkable, and Kannan may have played a greater role in revitalizing Ethereum decentralized finance than any other entrepreneur. In addition to running Eigen Labs, he still serves as an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Washington, and his "re-staking" theory (letting people use re-staking Ethereum assets to protect other networks) has triggered a wave of innovation and copycats. " Blockchain is the greatest advancement in human civilization since the US Constitution."
After eight long and harrowing months in a Nigerian prison, Gambaryan is finally back home in Atlanta, recovering from his ordeal. A string of ailments he contracted while in Kuje prison included malaria, double pneumonia and a herniated disk in his back that left him in excruciating pain and made it difficult for him to walk. Nigerian officials also dropped money laundering charges that had been pending against him since March, with the Nigerian government accusing Binance of facilitating the transfer of about $23 billion in untraceable funds in 2023, causing the naira to depreciate. Gambaryan isn’t just any American executive held for ransom — he’s a former federal agent who worked as an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) investigator and was part of the federal government’s early elite team of cryptocurrency trackers. While at the IRS, Gambaryan played a central role in some of the biggest cryptocurrency crime busts in the industry’s history, including the takedown of child sexual abuse video network Welcome to Video and darknet marketplace Alpha Bay, the seizure of nearly 70,000 bitcoins stolen from Silk Road, and the recovery of 650,000 bitcoins stolen from Mt Gox. Gambaryan played a “significant role” in making IRS-CI the leading federal agency in crypto investigations. Here are the other 40 people:
2024 is shaping up to be a transformational year for Bitcoin miners, many of whom are investing significant resources into operating artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. However, no company has been as successful as Core Scientific (CORZ), which emerged from bankruptcy in January under CEO Adam Sullivan and subsequently struck a massive multibillion-dollar deal with longtime business partner AI hyperscaler CoreWeave.
Hayes' family office Maelstrom has made dozens of high-profile investments since it was founded last year. But this year, the investment that really caught the market's attention is Ethena, or USDe. It differs from the two leading players, USDC or USDT, by using staked Ether as backing and maintaining its $1 value by offsetting price changes through short positions in ETH, while earning income from staking rewards and market fees. USDe also embodies Hayes’ worldview of fiat currency skepticism almost perfectly — it provides a synthetic dollar alternative that is completely independent of the traditional banking system. Hayes believes that decentralized finance (including digital assets such as USDe) is essential to resist the continued depreciation of value inherent in the fiat system.
In 2024, Aptos has made great progress in working with crypto and traditional financial institutions, both in terms of technology and in products such as Aptos Ascend, a digital asset management platform for financial institutions, and new integrations with Stripe, Circle and Tether. Franklin Templeton, BlackRock, Libre and other companies have deployed tokenized assets on Aptos.
The Network State is a techno-utopian plan to abandon the outdated nation-state and establish a geographically dispersed technocratic sovereignty. It has quickly gained popularity as a major exit strategy at a time when the political debate is centered between those invested in the existing system and those who want to build a new one.
At the end of the year, Nelson left the U.S. Treasury Department to become a leading voice in the cryptocurrency space for Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. Nelson previously served as Treasury’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, where he played a major role in the cryptocurrency space, leading efforts to combat digital asset mixing services and links to terrorists, and attempting to expand the federal government’s influence in the space. Nelson focuses on the dark side of cryptocurrency, believing that cryptocurrency technology could become a tool for funding international terrorism and criminal groups, and believes that anonymous services such as Tornado Cash are a means for bad guys to transfer cash with impunity. To this end, Nelson tried to change government means to prevent the development of the technology.
The Babylon protocol is one of the most important projects in the emerging space, aiming to introduce utility to the world’s oldest blockchain that is commonly found in other networks. While the Bitcoin network itself does not allow staking (as a proof-of-work blockchain), Babylon’s protocol allows users to stake BTC to secure other chains, thus providing the security of the original cryptocurrency to the wider crypto world. 2024 was a banner year for Babylon, which raised $70 million in a funding round in May and received a warm response from stakers when the mainnet launched in August. For security reasons, the mainnet was capped at 1,000 BTC at launch, a threshold that was reached in just over an hour. The protocol opened its second funding round in October, raising 24,000 BTC in about an hour and 40 minutes.
Balchunas and Seyffart are at the forefront of social media, telling the unreliable and the professional alike what they might say “yes” or “no” about these highly anticipated products.
In 2024, the first boss of a US public company to be attracted to Bitcoin was Eric Semler, whose medical technology company Semler Scientific chose Bitcoin as its main reserve asset.
Taproot Wizards, a collection of 2,108 JPEG images engraved on Bitcoin using the Ordinals protocol, has raised $7.5 million in seed funding in 2024. Founded by Eric Wall, Udi Wertheimer, and Francisco Alarcon with a mission to “make Bitcoin magical again,” the project will now turn its focus to upgrading Bitcoin itself using the proposed OP_CAT protocol , which was originally built into Bitcoin by Satoshi Nakamoto but removed following concerns about excessive memory usage and potential vulnerabilities.
The poster boy for “crypto + AI” is Erik Voorhees. His career spans multiple eras. In 2012, when Voorhees launched the blockchain-based gambling game “Satoshi Dice” — which once accounted for half of all Bitcoin transactions — he pioneered a new use case for cryptocurrency. He is now applying the spirit of Bitcoin to the next wave of artificial intelligence, launching Venice.AI, whose modest goal is "unfettered civilizational progress." Announcing Venice on May 10, Voorhees explained that the app is similar to ChatGPT or Claude, and Venice will not censor conversations or "inject bias, safety-ism, or political propaganda."
Sui, created by Evan Cheng, didn’t just build another blockchain. He also designed a paradigm shift. Over the past year, Sui, one of the darlings of the bull market, has seen its total locked value (TVL) soar from more than $200 million at the beginning of the year to more than $1.5 billion, thanks to market confidence in its new infrastructure developments, such as improvements to Sui’s underlying Move programming language and the launch of Circle’s on-chain USDC. Cheng took the lessons learned from the ill-fated Diem project run by Meta (then Facebook) and created a layer 1 blockchain that was not only faster and cheaper, but also fundamentally different from other layer 1 blockchains. With these lessons learned, Cheng and his team created Move, which made coding more efficient and streamlined. "The most successful projects on Sui are not clones of existing DeFi protocols, they are native products that cannot be built elsewhere."
As thousands of DePIN projects flourish in 2024, they should be especially grateful for one decentralized physical infrastructure network showing the way: Helium. “We see new companies emerging in 2024 with all sorts of ideas and use cases, allowing Helium’s economic model to actually power real-life physical infrastructure. That’s amazing.”
Under Fred Thiel’s leadership, MARA Holdings (MARA) (formerly Marathon Digital Holdings) has become not only one of the world’s largest Bitcoin miners, but also the second-largest corporate owner of Bitcoin, with a value of approximately $3.9 billion on its balance sheet. Under Thiel’s leadership, MARA has gone all-in on Bitcoin, becoming the first miner to follow in the footsteps of MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor and buy large amounts of the digital asset on the spot market. The company even managed to raise $1 billion recently to buy more Bitcoin, making Thiel the Michael Saylor of Bitcoin mining.
Think of Akash as an open-source "super cloud" that allows people to buy and sell compute, now a coveted resource in the age of AI. This is the core concept of decentralized physical infrastructure (aka DePIN) - using blockchain technology to organize otherwise dispersed resources (in this case, compute). Akash is designed to be a long-term alternative to Nvidia's centralized chips, aiming to make computing more affordable for individual users. "Akash gives you the power of computing, freedom from censorship, and the freedom of free thought."
Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley and Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan have worked tirelessly over the past seven years to bring institutional money into the cryptocurrency space, finally receiving approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for spot ETFs for Bitcoin and Ethereum earlier this year. The digital asset manager has launched funds for both assets, bringing its assets under management to over $10 billion, and a third ETF for Solana may also be available soon. But their efforts in the cryptocurrency space go far beyond that, with the pair frequently sharing insights from their work with their large social media followings, pushing the narrative that large banks, multi-family offices and other highly engaged institutional investors are “working to open up access to Bitcoin.” Hougan said “we are entering a golden age for cryptocurrency.”
Long before he co-founded decentralized application blockchain protocol NEAR, Polosukhin worked as an AI researcher at Google and co-authored the seminal 2017 paper “Attention is All You Need,” widely considered a precursor to the “Transformer” technology that powers popular Large Language Model (LLM) AI applications like ChatGPT. His AI credentials are impeccable. “AI is indeed a powerful force,” Polosukhin noted in 2023, “but we don’t want it to be controlled and biased by one company.” As a result, Polosukhin is now combining his original passion (AI) with NEAR’s decentralized mission to create a complete ecosystem for decentralized AI, from computation to training to agents. “AI is at NEAR.”
As Hong Kong has turned to embrace cryptocurrencies and Web3, he has also become a leading advocate for the industry within the government, inviting companies like Coinbase to apply for regulation (they rejected him) and calling for the launch of crypto ETFs in Hong Kong (they were approved in April). Last November, he appealed to the Nobel Prize Committee to list Satoshi Nakamoto as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize or the Nobel Prize in Economics. "The emergence of Bitcoin based on blockchain technology is solving the inflation problems of some countries and providing economic solutions for more impoverished areas. It has also revolutionized global payments, reflecting the current state of the global economy."
Fung-yee Leung, CEO of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), noted: “While the debate over Bitcoin’s intrinsic value will continue, the fact is that over the past 15 years, Bitcoin has survived multiple boom-and-bust cycles, which clearly demonstrates its staying power as an alternative asset. Even more clear is that Bitcoin’s underlying technology, distributed ledger technology (DLT), is here to stay.”
The founder of Tron, the world’s third-largest blockchain project by market cap, tends to ignore criticism and focus on building. Justin Sun’s cryptocurrency holdings have increased by nearly $700 million this year, from $1.5 billion at the beginning of the year to $2.2 billion today, making him the richest person in the cryptocurrency space. This is largely due to the meteoric growth of TRX and the surge in stablecoins issued on the chain, which now exceeds $60 billion. For a brief period, there was more USDT on Tron than on Ethereum.
In early 2022, during the crypto winter, Hon left Jump and co-founded Monad Labs. This vision attracted $225 million in funding by 2024, one of the largest crypto financings this year. Monad's technical specifications speak for themselves: Ethereum processes 15 transactions per second (TPS) with fees of $10 to $50, while Solana processes 2,600 transactions per second with fees of less than a penny, and Monad aims to execute 10,000 transactions at just $0.001 per transaction. Currently, DeFi's daily transaction volume is still in the billions of dollars, a small fraction of the trillions of dollars in daily transactions in traditional finance.
The Solana blockchain’s two-year recovery story may have peaked in late November as SOL hit an all-time high. Liu is shifting the industry’s focus away from Solana itself and toward the entrepreneurs building permissionless financial systems on it, from stablecoins to gaming and more. That could be a game changer in the race for blockchains to prove their usefulness.
Luca Netz recently announced that it will launch its own PENGU token on Solana in 2025. About a quarter of the tokens will be reserved for the project's NFT holders, and the rest will be reserved for Solana and Ethereum users. Pudgy’s success is a testament to the efforts of Netz, who acquired the Pudgy Penguins NFT collection in April 2022 after a bidding war with Web3 influencer BeanieMaxi and others. Netz has kept the brand relevant, selling 1.5 million plush toys at Walmart and Target. Pudgy has a loyal online fan base, with 2 million followers on Instagram, 520,000 followers on TikTok, and 205,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter). Videos of the penguin character have been viewed 32 billion times on Giphy.
Luuk Strijers said: It feels like stepping into this rebellious crossroads - Kafka's struggle against systemic constraints is echoed in today's digital asset revolution. Under Strijers' leadership, Deribit has consolidated its dominance in the cryptocurrency derivatives field, accounting for 80% of the global cryptocurrency options market. Daily trading volume exceeds $1.3 billion, far exceeding competitors such as Binance, OKX and CME.
DePIN is one of the biggest news in the crypto space in 2024. From telecommunications and energy to maps and weather data, DePIN has emerged to provide useful services to end users through blockchain, tokens, and smart contracts. Ramakrishnan believes that there are multiple factors behind DePIN's success. First, there is a huge demand for new infrastructure that cannot be met by governments, traditional finance, and traditional companies. Second, the DePIN network has begun to show superior economics and functionality to centralized systems, with telecommunications being a notable example. Ramakrishnan believes that DePIN is part of a larger shift in society away from traditional government structures after the 2008 financial crisis. DePIN is designed to be completely different, with users sharing services and being directly rewarded for their participation in the form of tokens. It's a sharing economy where incentives and rewards are widely shared.
Long oversaw a strict regime requiring companies to comply with anti-money laundering rules, resulting in only four cryptocurrency companies being allowed to operate in the UK in 2024. Overall, 48 companies were approved out of 365 that applied. Long, who leads policy development for the cryptocurrency industry, held a series of roundtables on the UK's upcoming cryptocurrency regime earlier this year, and the FCA also said it intends to publish a series of documents to collect industry views on stablecoins, trading platforms, staking, etc., with the aim of finalizing the industry's rules by 2026.
Starting in 2020, Michael Saylor paved the way for companies to buy Bitcoin. Through large-scale securities sales, he successfully raised funds for MicroStrategy to buy billions of dollars worth of Bitcoin. Whether in a bull market or a bear market, Saylor bought a lot of BTC.
Paolo Ardoino is the CEO and face of stablecoin giant Tether, which has been as dominant as ever in the cryptocurrency market this year. The company’s flagship token, USDT, is the first and so far only stablecoin with a market cap of more than $100 billion and commands 70% of the market share of this fast-growing asset class. 2024 is the year for stablecoins to make a breakthrough. But under Ardoino’s leadership, Tether has already begun betting on the next big thing. The company has turned its profits into ventures in payments, telecommunications, artificial intelligence, and bitcoin mining. It has also made big moves into commodity trade finance, and most recently, it launched a tokenization platform — another hot crypto trend.
In 2022, he began an uphill battle for the cause of an industry that had just suffered massive damage and discredit. He saw digital asset regulation as a goal worthy of significant political capital, and he battled hard with congressional committees, parties, and chambers, ultimately bringing his 21st Century Financial Innovation and Technology Act (FIT21) to the House of Representatives in May 2024.
Pavel Durov did not enter the public eye until August 24, 2024. The world's 120th richest person with a fortune of $15.5 billion (Forbes) is not just noteworthy for this. But Durov's achievements on social media are what really make him stand out - his public stance in favor of Internet freedom highlights his active role in this world. Durov's first success in social media was in Russia, when he co-founded the social networking site VKontakte (VK) in 2006. The controversy surrounding the site and the subsequent intervention of the Russian government forced Durov to leave his homeland in 2014, just a year after he co-developed the groundbreaking social networking site Telegram with his brother Nikolay. In 2017, the company moved its headquarters to the United Arab Emirates. This year, Durov was arrested. In his opinion, the Internet is free. The exchange of ideas should be promoted, not suppressed. His arrest was actually the result of a long-term joint surveillance operation conducted by the French government in cooperation with the UAE. Both governments wanted the keys to Durov's encryption code.
Solana’s status as a top memecoin chain is largely due to its rising startup platform, Pump.Fun, which redefined the way crypto investors create and bet on joke cryptocurrencies in 2024. In the process, it earned hundreds of millions of dollars for its founding team. Since its debut in the UK in early 2024, Pump.Fun has launched over 4 million memecoins.
Ray Chan uses his expertise to blend humor and culture with blockchain, bringing the meme culture he helped create in Web2 to Web3.
Since taking the helm last November, Teng has been working to transform Binance from an organization led by founders (as it was during Zhao Changpeng's six-year tenure as CEO) to one led by a board of directors. He has also brought Binance into compliance with a range of global regulations, investing heavily in developing the cryptocurrency exchange's compliance staff and obtaining regulatory approvals from regulators around the world.
In October 2023, Robin Linus shook up the cryptocurrency development world when he published a white paper introducing a theoretical approach to making Bitcoin more programmable. The "BitVM," as it became known, was followed by a second iteration, "BitVM2," in August 2024, revealing improvements that could bring the concept closer to reality. His proposed BitVM was hailed as a breakthrough because it did not require any changes to the Bitcoin code. The release of Linus's original BitVM sparked enthusiasm for building projects on Bitcoin.
This year has been a pivotal one for Rune Christensen’s bold plan to revamp one of the largest and oldest decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols , MakerDAO. The platform was rebranded to Sky — albeit with some bumps along the way — and he launched a new stablecoin and governance token. The protocol announced a “Tokenization Grand Prize” to stake $1 billion worth of stablecoin reserves in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), attracting interest from dozens of issuers, including BlackRock’s tokenized money marketplace BUIDL. Sky’s new USDS stablecoin has also expanded from the protocol’s longtime home Ethereum to the popular Solana, a blockchain network Christensen has previously expressed admiration for, even floating the idea of creating a custom chain for Maker/Sky using Solana’s underlying technology.
As the price of Bitcoin soars in 2024, traditional media outlets take on the quixotic mission of finding Satoshi Nakamoto, 13 years after he disappeared. HBO hypes up MoneyElectronics: The Mystery of Bitcoin, with multiple industry insiders suspected of being Satoshi.
Sergio Demian Lerner is a programmer from Buenos Aires who is known for his early research on Satoshi’s mining activities and his later contribution to Ethereum development. Rootstock is currently in its “BitVMX” project, which aims to improve the programmability of Bitcoin by leveraging the BitVM design released by Robin Linus in late 2023. The white paper of the project states: “The BitVMX framework provides the basis for running any CPU on Bitcoin”. BitVMX’s goal is to put the theory behind Linus’ BitVM paradigm into practice by creating a framework that runs programs on Bitcoin, and enable further development of sidechains and layer 2.
TON has exploded and now has a market value of over $17 billion, making it the 13th largest project in the entire cryptocurrency field. After SEC Chairman Gary Gensler announced plans to resign early next year, Yun tweeted that “TON will go to the United States”
Animoca Brands’ portfolio company has a total market capitalization of $35.6 billion, up nearly 37% in the last 30 days alone. Siu believes: “Digital ownership can provide a foundation for a more equitable society.” “Property and capitalism are the foundation for democracy.” Siu expects substantial progress around the world to develop regulations governing ownership of digital assets by the end of next year. “This will give users clear rights to their digital assets, thus giving them powers – rights that are currently implemented through blockchain technology but are not well known in many jurisdictions.”
Anonymous blockchain detective ZachXBT has built an unparalleled reputation for relentless pursuit of cryptocurrency thieves and scammers since 2021. He has 700,000 followers on X and 45,500 followers on Telegram. |
