Binance founder Changpeng Zhao lost $29 billion, while Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong's stake in the company lost nearly 60% of its value, shrinking his net worth by $7 billion. Other notable losses include Michael Saylor's $4.7 billion fortune and the $4.6 billion and $4.4 billion lost by Chris Larsen and Mike Novogratz, respectively. Investors are fleeing to safer assets like gold amid geopolitical uncertainty.
