Forbes has included 15 young crypto business entrepreneurs on the 2022 edition of 30 under 30 list, which despite its misleading name, actually contains 600 people aged a maximum of 30 from 20 different categories like music, finance, and gaming.
FTX and Alameda Research founder Sam Bankman-Fried and co-founder of U.S.- based exchange platform CoinList Brian Tubergen are notable individuals from the previous edition.
Forbes noted in its most recent edition, released on Dec. 1, that the latest group of under the 30s raised more than $1 billion in total. Around 15 crypto figures were named on the list, including Caroline Ellison and Sam Trabucco, co-CEOs of Alamada Research Alex Atallah, co-founder of OpenSea; and Emily Yang, founder of PleasrDAO.
Finance had the most crypto leaders (11), including the founder of decentralized finance (DeFi), based trading platform Slingshot, Clinton Bembry, the founder of blockchain data indexing protocol Edge & Node, Tegan Kline, and the co-founder of blockchain-based streaming service Audius, Roneil Rumburg.
Before this, as TheCoinRise reported, Forbes 400 list contains seven crypto billionaires with a cumulative contribution of $55.1 billion of worth with age, not more than 40.
Other than finance, PleasrDAO’s Yang was recognized in the art category for her efforts in acquiring significant NFT collections, including Edward Snowden’s first drop in April for 2,224 Ether (ETH) ($10.1 million at current prices). Michael Ippolito and Jason Yanowitz, co-founders of Blockworks, were also included in the media category for their contributions to crypto journalism.
This year’s crypto presence represents a 50% increase over the Forbes previous edition’s ten young crypto leaders and indicates a rising trend of crypto adoption in mainstream media.
With the increased crypto adoption rate after the jump of regulatory bodies all around the world, the number of entrepreneurs and billionaires has also increased in the crypto industry.
