Two cryptocurrency tycoons, Chaopeng Zhao and Brian Armstrong, saw a combined increase in their wealth by about $15 billion after Donald Trump's election victory.
Changpeng Zhao, founder of Binance, saw his net worth soar by about $12 billion, making him the 25th richest person on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, saw his net worth jump by about $2.6 billion to reach $11 billion.
The surge in wealth was driven by the optimism of a favorable regulatory environment for digital currencies under Trump's presidency.
