In 2022, 19 individuals made the *World's Billionaires* list, according to Forbes, with fortunes derived from cryptocurrency and blockchain.

This number represents a seven-person increase compared to the previous year's Forbes list of cryptocurrency and blockchain billionaires.

Canadian citizen Changpeng Zhao topped the list in 2022, boasting a net worth of US$65 billion (approximately Rp933.72 trillion, with an exchange rate of US$1 = Rp14,365).

Zhao, the founder and CEO of Binance, also ranked as the 19th richest person globally. Forbes estimates that at least 70% of his wealth stems from Binance. The 44-year-old also holds Bitcoin assets and Binance's launched token, BNB.

Binance is a global-scale cryptocurrency trading platform. Throughout 2021, the company reportedly facilitated approximately two-thirds of all trading volume handled by centralized exchanges.

Binance's revenue last year is estimated at US$16 billion. Forbes predicts this revenue contributed a US$1.9 billion increase to Zhao's wealth.

The next cryptocurrency billionaire on the list is Sam Bankman-Fried, owner of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange, valued at US$32 billion. The American national holds a net worth of US$24 billion.
