Ben Zhou

Title: Co-Founder and CEO Company: Bybit

Ben reached fintech notoriety after successfully leading his cryptocurrency exchange platform Bybit back from the biggest crypto theft in history. After hackers stole 400,000 Ethereum in 2025, Ben kept the platform fully operational instead of halting withdrawals and replenished the fund within just 72 hours after the incident, honouring 350,000 withdrawal requests without any liquidity crunches. Ben’ s quick thinking is widely regarded as a masterclass in crypto crisis management and today, Bybit offers some of the deepest liquidity in the crypto market. fintechmagazine. com 63
