Jeff Yan grew up with immigrant parents, raised by a single mom after his dad left.


Won gold at the International Physics Olympiad. This gave him full scholarship to Harvard. Where he studied Mathematics and Computer Science.
Then built one of the largest crypto trading firms "Chameleon" alone, from a living room in Puerto Rico, starting with 10K.
When FTX collapsed and crypto showed its worst face, he did not cash out.
He shut Chameleon down voluntarily and started over.
Eleven people. No VCs. No outside investors. Turned down $100M at a $1B valuation.
The result: Hyperliquid, 4 trillion in volume and roughly 900M in profit in a single year. Fees burned on chain automatically. No one taking a cut behind closed doors.
In an industry full of insiders gaming the system, he just built.
The quietest empire in crypto.
What other founders in this space do you think are actually building with that level of integrity?
