The 2025 Cryptocurrency Billionaire List Top 10 is Released, with Binance Founder Zhao Changpeng at the Top
Despite the significant fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market, the wealth landscape in this field is becoming clearer in 2025. A group of early participants and institutional founders who have deeply cultivated the industry for many years have already dominated the global wealth pyramid.
Data statistics reveal that the list of cryptocurrency billionaires is mainly composed of Bitcoin holders, exchange founders, and stablecoin issuers.
This ranking is based on the summer 2025 data snapshots from Forbes and Bloomberg and can be traced back to the known participants' holdings of cryptocurrency assets.
Among them, the top ten on the list and their specific asset situations are shown in the image below:
It is worth noting that this list does not include the anonymous founder Satoshi Nakamoto, who controls as many as 1.1 million Bitcoins (currently worth over 11 billion USD), accounting for 5.2% of the total Bitcoin supply cap (21 million Bitcoins).
In summary, the 2025 cryptocurrency billionaire list again proves that true wealth comes from those early investors who have laid out in core areas such as Bitcoin, mainstream trading platforms, and stablecoins.
Despite ongoing market volatility, these early infrastructure builders and key ecosystem participants can still occupy the top of the global cryptocurrency wealth list. As cryptocurrency finance and traditional finance accelerate their integration, their leading position will continue to be solidified.
In the future, for new entrants to break into the top wealth circle, they must seize opportunities amidst technological iterations and policy changes and occupy key positions in the next generation of blockchain infrastructure. Although opportunities still exist, the threshold for success has significantly increased.
