      With changing times, the crypto market has also become so much more than what was projected for it. The financial market took a rather reluctant turn when the crypto boom took place and the growing pains of the new market are still quite visible. However, the gains and advantages that the cryptocurrency market, much like their lows and disadvantages, is unmatched by any other investment option.

      Over the last year, cryptocurrencies, the market and the industry surrounding it has been centre stage in policymaking discussions world and government-wide. This is at best, a sign that the cryptocurrency market is building up its credibility and a lot more people are now open to it. To add to this, Forbes; the American business magazine, for the first time ever released a list of the top 10 richest folks in the cryptocurrency market.

      Here is the list and what they did before crypto and what they do now.

       

      The top 10 richest crypto owners in 2018

       

      Chris Larsen

       

      Chris Larsen, the co-founder of Ripple, tops this list with around $7.5 billion to $8 billion in crypto assets. Chris Larsen, before becoming an angel investor, founded a whole suite of companies. Among which are names like Palo Alto Funding group and E-Loan before he went on to co-founder Ripple.

      Joseph Lubin



      Second on the list is Ethereum’s co-founder with $1 billion to $5 billion in crypto assets.
