He transitioned from a former Bitcoin maximalist to a public advocate for select cult-like memecoins, having first encountered Bitcoin in Beijing in 2013 through early OKCoin team members. He previously founded Adaptive Capital, a multi-strategy crypto hedge fund that shut down after heavy losses during the March 2020 Bitcoin market crash, and previously worked at Goldman Sachs and Glencore as an analyst.

Murad drew scrutiny in October 2024, when on-chain investigator ZachXBT publicly linked 11 alleged Ethereum and Solana wallets holding over $24 million in memecoins to him, citing shared funding sources tied to STFX. Arkham-tracked data showed his memecoin portfolio reportedly peaked around $67 million in July 2025 and fell to approximately $11.33 million by June 2026, an 83.5% drawdown, while he reportedly continued holding major positions. His tracked holdings include STFX.
