Brendan Blumer is a business executive in crypto and digital assets based in Hong Kong. He is best known as a cofounder of Bullish, a Hong Kong-based crypto exchange started in 2020, where he serves as a director. He is also the CEO and sole owner of Block.one, a digital asset investment firm he cofounded in 2016. Forbes places him in Finance & Investments and describes him as self-made.
Blumer started building companies long before Bullish. At 15, he created Gamecliff, a website that sold virtual assets for online games such as EverQuest and World of Warcraft. In 2005, after high school, he sold Gamecliff to IGE and moved to Hong Kong to keep running its operations. He later founded The Accounts Network in 2007, launched Okay.com with Kokuei Yuan in 2010, started ii5 in 2013, and then moved into blockchain with Block.one and EOS.IO.
How Brendan Blumer makes money
The biggest parts of Blumer’s fortune are his stakes in Bullish and Block.one. Forbes says he cofounded Bullish in 2020, and the exchange went public on the New York Stock Exchange in August 2025. He owns a 28% stake in the company and sits on its board. Forbes also notes that another Bullish board member, Kokuei Yuan, owns 25%. Those ownership positions are central to how Blumer built billionaire-level wealth.
Block.one is the other main source. Forbes says Blumer is the CEO and sole owner of the digital asset investment firm, which he cofounded in 2016. Bullish was majority-owned by Block.one until 2024, linking the two businesses closely. Wikipedia also says Block.one developed the EOS.IO blockchain platform, which Blumer announced in May 2017. That project’s initial coin offering raised over $4 billion, adding to the scale of the business around him.
Forbes net worth update
Forbes estimated Blumer’s net worth at $1.3 billion on the 2026 World’s Billionaires List. The estimate came after Bullish had already completed its public listing in August 2025. His ownership matters here: Forbes says he has a 28% stake in Bullish, while he also fully owns Block.one. Since Block.one had been Bullish’s majority owner until 2024, his wealth is tied to both his direct exchange stake and his control of the related investment firm.
As of October 20, 2026, Forbes’ real-time billionaires tracker listed him at $1.2 billion. That figure is lower than the annual 2026 list estimate, but the money story stayed the same. His wealth is still tied mainly to crypto exchange and digital asset holdings rather than a salary. Bullish, his board role there, and full ownership of Block.one remain the key reasons Forbes counts him among billionaires in finance and investments.
