Cryptocurrency Trader and Analyst, Co-founder LedgArt

Net worth: $700 million

Crypto Kaleo is a popular crypto trader and analyst with a huge following on Twitter and several YouTube appearances. He’s a co-founder of LedgArt—an entity whose work includes finance-inspired NFTs.

Despite people becoming millionaires trading Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies, many people in the investing community remain deeply skeptical of crypto investments. You might recall Jamie Dimon’s infamous Bitcoin quotes calling the flagship crypto “worthless” and “fools’ gold.” Billionaire Warren Buffett also doesn't think that there's anything interesting about Bitcoin and cryptos in general.

However, the crypto trash talk by Dimon, Buffett, and others who share their thoughts hasn’t stopped investment money from flowing into this space. Prominent figures including Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey, and Chamath Palihapitiya have made substantial investments in cryptos. Now, hedge funds are also embracing cryptos to diversify their portfolios. Traders like Kaleo could make even more money as the crypto community expands.

Who's Crypto Kaleo?

As the name implies, Crypto Kaleo is a crypto trader and analyst. He had a day job when he started trading cryptos. The job offered him a steady paycheck and a safety net. At some point, Kaleo quit his job to focus on trading.

As a trader, Kaleo experienced many ups and downs but learned to forget the losses when they happened and instead focus on winning the next trade. He recalls that on his first day of skiing, the experience was brutal but he gained the skills quickly nonetheless. The lessons learned from skiing influenced Kaleo’s crypto trading approach. As a young and unmarried man, he had the flexibility to take high risks and it paid off.

Kaleo has commented favorably about the prospects of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Solana, and Dogecoin. The trader has suggested that he didn’t welcome Biden’s crypto tax to raise funds for the infrastructure spending program. The crypto tax provisions in the program are targeted to raise $28 billion and will go into effect in 2024.

Many crypto investors have spoken out against the crypto tax provisions, while others have explored migrating to countries where crypto isn’t taxed. However, Kaleo has cautioned that if anyone is going into crypto investing to avoid taxes, then they’re making a serious mistake.

Crypto Kaleo’s net worth grew substantially.

Kaleo’s big break in crypto didn’t come instantly. He made many trades that failed and cost him dearly. He’s admitted that emotional reactions have been his greatest weakness and that he could obtain better outcomes if he only followed his plan.

Kaleo is a crypto millionaire. Over time, he mastered the trade and could make more than $2 million in a day. On some bad days, he lost more than $1 million in a day. The current size of Kaleo’s fortune isn’t known. However, he has been trading daily since 2017. If he could make $2 million daily consistently, then Kaleo could be worth more than $700 million in just a single year. However, the trader has also revealed that his net worth fluctuates sharply over short periods.
