Top 10 Biggest Crypto Influencers In 2022
Before we get stuck in, let’s first take a moment to address that these influencers have made the list based on their ability to educate or influence their following to buy a product or service. They have the power to set the mood in the market, often leading traders to make a buy or sell decision.
As the founder of the second-biggest cryptocurrency, Vitalik Buterin provides a level-headed and highly hands-on approach to the crypto industry. With Satoshi Nakamoto choosing to remain anonymous, Buterin has become something of a poster child for crypto leadership.
His following on Twitter has become accustomed to receiving market insights on various digital currencies, articles, reviews and of course updates on the Ethereum network. The latter being of interest to many as we move toward the ETH 2.0 launch.
Buterin is followed by newbies and advanced traders alike and has a well-respected voice in the industry.
Andreas Antonopoulos is a well-celebrated tech entrepreneur that plays an active role in the Bitcoin and blockchain communities. As an early adopter, he has had ample experience navigating the markets and provides valuable insight through his various social channels and a number of books.
While very active on Twitter, Antonopoulos is also known for his Youtube channel, sharing a wide variety of videos explaining everything from simple crypto terms to more advanced deep dives.

3. Tim Draper
Tim Draper is an American venture capitalist with a keen interest in cryptocurrencies. While he has an impressive investment portfolio consisting of top-earning companies, his interest and understanding of the crypto markets is well-matched.
Draper has become a vocal advocate for blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies and decentralization and provides valuable insight into the markets through his Twitter account. Through this channel, he shares his thoughts and opinions on blockchain, crypto and other tech-related news.
With an impressive following of over 1.2 million on Twitter and over 260,000 on Youtube, Pompliano has positioned himself as a true crypto advocate. The entrepreneur and investor also runs a very successfully newsletter, known as Off the Chain, and an equally successful podcast, The Pomp Podcast.

6. Charlie Lee
Charlie Lee is the founder of Litecoin, and with over 1 million followers on Twitter, Lee is also considered to be one of the most popular crypto influencers.
While he provides updates on the Litecoin network (from news to upgrades), he also covers plenty of other cryptocurrency and blockchain-related news as well as memes and more entertaining content. If you’re looking for a full rounded source of information and entertainment, Lee is worth giving a follow.
7. Elon Musk
While many might argue the addition of Elon Musk to the list, one cannot deny the wild influence he has had over the crypto markets last year alone. His tweets caused wild surges in both Bitcoin and Dogecoin, as well as instigating a mass selloff of the biggest cryptocurrency.
Many crypto enthusiasts have taken a dislike to the Tesla CEO due to his nonchalant influence over the markets accompanied by a serious lack of crypto knowledge. As the crypto industry tries to overcome volatility, Musk’s tweets appear to only spur it on, making him unpopular amongst those moving toward mass adoption.
While his influence might not always be appreciated, there is sufficient evidence to prove that his influence remains.
8. PlanB
Representing a more technical aspect of the industry, PlanB is known for his price analysis and predictions, as well as being the creator of the Bitcoin stock-to-flow model (S2F).
The pseudonymous institutional investor hails from the Netherlands and has a background in quantitative finance and law. His S2F model has become widely celebrated in the crypto space as it uses Bitcoin’s scarcity to measure (and predict) its value. His content is largely focused on theorizing Bitcoin’s value through the use of charts, news and other price analysis tools.
9. Tone Vays
Tone Vays has become an icon in the industry as he navigates, educates, and constantly stirs discussions surrounding the blockchain and crypto industry. Prior to being involved with cryptocurrencies, Vays worked on Wall Street for 10 years, initially as a Risk Analyst before becoming VP at JP Morgan Chase.
