Algoine News
Summary:
The top ten list of most popular crypto entrepreneurs, based on social media influence, has been released by CoinLedger with Binance CEO Changpeng 'CZ' Zhao topping the chart. The list also includes renowned figures such as Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, ARK Investment CEO Cathie Wood, among others. Ironically, the list bottoms out with Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of the now-defunct crypto exchange FTX, who manages to maintain substantial online followers despite the exchange's fall.
The recently curated list of top ten revered and contentious crypto magnates, defined by their online influence, witnesses Binance CEO Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao taking the lead with the infamous con artist Sam Bankman-Fried in the last spot. CoinLedger compiled this list after narrowing down CryptoWeekly's top 30 crucial cryptosphere figures of 2023, with their social media foothold playing a deciding factor in identifying the most globally followed crypto persona. Occupying the honorary top 3 positions alongside CZ are Ethereum’s co-creator Vitalik Buterin and the co-founder of Twitter and CEO of Block, Jack Dorsey. CoinLedger's research revealed the Binance CEO as the most adored figure in the crypto world, boasting approximately 9.1 million collective followers on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. Buterin and Dorsey's online presence pales in comparison with approximately 7.7 million and 6.4 million followers each on Twitter and Instagram.

Saylor has close to 3.25 million followers - nearly half of Dorsey's - while Wood commands a little over 1.6 million followers. Famed investors - Chamath Palihapitiya and Marc Andreessen - landed in the 6th and 7th spots, commanding an online army of 1.6 million and 1.3 million followers each. Next in line are Barry Silbert, CEO of Digital Currency Group, and Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, with approximately 1.25 million and 1.2 million followers respectively.
