Gracy Chen went from TV star to entrepreneur, becoming the CEO of top crypto exchange Bitget — and then blended it all together on Killer Whales. Young girls who grew up in Asia in the ’90s were enamored by female anchor Yang Lan, much like Americans were with Oprah. Gracy Chen was so inspired that she followed Lan into a career as a TV host and producer.  Chen then went from TV host to entrepreneur, falling in love with the mathematical beauty of Bitcoin and later became the only female CEO leading one of the five biggest exchanges in the world (although Binance recently announced Yi He as co-CEO along with Richard Teng.)
