Looking at the data from January 2026, it's quite shocking—there are only 12 top billionaires worldwide, and the assets they control actually exceed the total assets of the bottom 50% of the global population (about 4.1 billion people). Looking at it from another perspective, the annual labor income of 4.1 billion people still can't match the ledger figures of these 12 individuals. This level of wealth concentration also reflects the logic of capital appreciation in the traditional financial system—wealth generates more wealth, while the vast majority of people are busy just surviving. This is also why more and more people are paying attention to crypto assets and decentralized finance.
