Market Decline Causes Decline Crypto Billionaires’ Net Worth

In another development, the turbulence in the market in the last few days has caused a decline in the net worth of most crypto billionaires per a Forbes report. Former ripple lab CEOs Chris Larsen and McCaleb each lost $1.3 billion and $1.6 billion respectively within nine days – May 10 to May 19. Within the same period, ripple’s current CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s net worth also declined from about $7 million to about $5.7 million. Also, MicroStrategy CEO, Micheal Saylor, and Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong lost 46% and 15% of their net worth. However, binance CEO, Changpeng Zhao’s net worth didn’t suffer any decline during this period as his $1.95 billion net worth wasn’t affected at all. 

The Bitcoin market decline which affected all altcoins didn’t spare XRP as its price declined by about 61% resulting in arguably the worst ripple price decline in history.

The ongoing legal saga between SEC and ripple labs has reached a new turn with a court ruling granting the commission the right to reach out to other countries’ regulators to obtain more details regarding Ripple’s XRP trade deals. The court cited Ripple’s reasons for stopping SEC as a non-basis. The FinTech giants had earlier blocked the commission from taking this route as it considers SEC’s actions a contravention of The Hague Convention. Ripple also accused the commission of using “irrelevancies and malicious attacks” to prevent XRP holders from intervening in the case.
