About Me

An early pioneer in the blockchain space, Jed McCaleb helped launch three well-known crypto firms. In 2010 he created Mt. Gox, the first major Bitcoin exchange, which he sold a year later before it was hacked. McCaleb cofounded Ripple in 2012, but soon left over disagreements with fellow founders. His next venture, in 2014, was cofounding Stellar, a Ripple competitor that aims to speed up cross-border payments. Most of McCaleb's wealth comes from selling much of the original 9 billion XRP he pocketed as a Ripple cofounder. He sold his last coins in 2022.
