Forbes has released its 2024 "30 Under 30" list for finance, featuring young crypto founders who are reshaping financial markets despite facing regulatory challenges. Among the honorees are Shayne Coplan, the mastermind behind Polymarket, a blockchain-based prediction market that gained recognition after successfully predicting the outcome of the 2024 U.S. presidential election. However, Polymarket has faced controversy and an FBI raid over allegations of allowing U.S. users to bet illegally. Cindy Leow, co-founder of Drift, a Solana-based crypto exchange specializing in perpetuals, also made the list. Drift has raised $42 million in funding and recorded $40 million in revenue this year. Kaledora Kiernan-Linn, co-founder of Ostium Labs, aims to bridge decentralized technology and global finance with the Ostium protocol.
