Hurun Report, a research, media and investment firm recently published a report named “Hurun China Rich List 2019” in which it featured 12 local cryptocurrency magnates.
The latest list was published on 10th of October which included the co-founders of mining giant Bitmain Micree Zhan and Jihan Wu founder of major crypto exchange Binance Changpeng Zhao and founder of competing OKCoin — Star Xu. Lastly, Leon Li, founder of cryptocurrency exchange Huobi, is also on the list.
While looking at the rankings Bitmain’s Zhan along with his net worth of 30 billion Chinese yuan which is over $4.2 billion has successfully secured the 100th position in the list while Binance’s Changpeng Zhao rad at 195th position with his 18 billion yuan ($2.5 billion). It’s surprising to notice that he moved up by 35 positions as compared to the 2018’s list.
The founder of OKEx Star Xu secured the 398th position with 10 billion Chinese yuan ($1.4 billion). While Huobi’s Li was placed at 530th position with $7.5 billion Chinese yuan (over $1 billion).
The founder of mining ASICs producer Ebang reached the position of 684th along with his net worth of 6 billion Chinese yuan ($0.84 billion).
As previously reported the crypto exchange firms Coinbase and Ripple the blockchain start up behind XRP have subsequently fallen from the list of top 10 of this year’s business and employment – oriented services and also from the LinkedIn’s “The 50 Hottest U.S Companies to work for” list.
This is being considered a major drop down the firms ranking in the world’s top list.
