      tldr; The 2024 edition of the richest people in crypto, compiled by Decrypt, highlights the dynamic and volatile nature of the cryptocurrency industry. Notable figures like FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who was crypto’s second-richest man in 2022, have fallen from grace due to legal issues, with Bankman-Fried receiving a 25-year federal prison sentence and ordered to forfeit $11 billion. Other crypto elites lost their billionaire status during the last bear market, impacted by legal troubles and the market’s downturn. The list includes individuals and anonymous wallets with the largest fortunes in crypto, determined through on-chain data, public information, and analyses by intelligence firms. Despite the industry’s challenges, including legal battles and market fluctuations, the list showcases those who have amassed significant wealth through cryptocurrency and related ventures.
