The Last Man Standing in Crypto

Brian Armstrong has become the new face of crypto. 

Coinbase Global, the cryptocurrency exchange he co-founded in 2012, is one of the last big digital-asset companies standing after a string of high-profile collapses and government crackdowns. Armstrong’s former rivals—FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried and Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, who once boasted far greater influence and wealth—are either in jail or facing time behind bars.
