(Background: CME teams up with NYSE to urge the US to strengthen regulation of Hyperliquid, $HYPE plunges nearly 10% in the short term) (Context: Ko Ju-Chun wields the Black King Kong to blast the Executive Yuan: making AI chips for the whole world, yet our own people are locked out by outdated regulations) Machibigbrother, the renowned crypto investor known as the "Liquidation King" on Hyperliquid, will now sit in the shark's seat in the studio, deciding whether other people's business plans are worth investing in. Videoland Financial Channel has announced the production of《Shark Tank Taiwan》, obtaining official authorization from Sony Pictures Television, continuing the international version's reality show format of "entrepreneurs pitching to shark investors," currently still in the nationwide startup casting phase. Machi (Machibigbrother) has confirmed joining as a shark, becoming the lineup member with the strongest cryptocurrency background. Machi was born in 1972 in Yunlin, Taiwan, and moved to California, USA at age 2. In 1991, he founded L.A. Boyz with his younger brother Stanley Huang and cousin Jeffrey Huang. Over 13 years, they released 13 albums, with their debut《Shiam》selling over 130,000 copies, making them Taiwan's earliest hip-hop group. In 2001, he founded Machi Entertainment, whose collaboration roster includes Jay Chou, A-Mei, and Jolin Tsai, from which the nickname "Machibigbrother" originated. In 2015, he crossed into the tech industry by founding 17 Live (later merged with Singapore's Paktor to form M17 Entertainment), becoming one of Asia's largest livestreaming platforms. From hip-hop singer to entertainment management tycoon to tech entrepreneur, Machi's every transformation has stepped onto the trending wave of the time. Starting in 2017, Machi entered the cryptocurrency space in a big way. He co-founded the DeFi lending protocol CREAM Finance and the social token platform Mithril (MITH), with on-chain holdings spanning 203 NFT collections totaling 6,626 NFTs, with peak valuation around $72.72 million. The most famous among these are 34 Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), with net profit of $5.85 million and a return rate of +182%, making him one of the most profitable BAYC traders in history. Recently, he has become famous for high-leverage contract trading on Hyperliquid. Between 2025 and 2026, Machi has been liquidated over 335 times cumulatively on the platform (262 times in January 2026 alone), with realized losses exceeding $75 million, earning him the title of "Crypto Liquidation King." He has simultaneously opened BTC and ETH long positions exceeding $58 million, stating "cryptocurrency dominates my everything." The premiere date of Shark Tank Taiwan has not yet been announced, but with a four-in-one investor combining renowned musician, livestreaming empire founder, BAYC whale, and Hyperliquid Liquidation King sitting in the shark's seat, applying startup teams may be facing the shark with the richest on-chain trading record in global Shark Tank history—oh no, he's actually a whale.
