Hsin-Ju Chuang, a former partner at the crypto venture firm Hack VC, has died at age 37. The San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner gave the age and ruled the death a suicide, according to Cointelegraph. Cointelegraph published the report on Sep 25, 2026 and later updated it to add the cause of death.
Chuang founded Dystopia Labs. Before joining Hack VC, Chuang held senior roles at Stellar and Solana.
The report does not say when Chuang died. Beyond the coroner's finding and age, it gives no further details.
For anyone holding a perpetual position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this changes nothing directly. The report names no exchange, token, funding rate, fee change or liquidity event. It is news about a person's death, not about the cost of holding a position.
