Who is on Cointelegraph’s 2023 Top 100 List?
On Feb. 8, Cointelegraph released its annual Top 100 list of the most impactful heroes and villains for 2023. The list started at No. 81 with BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes and tennis star Maria Sharapova. It then unveiled rankings 81–90 which include entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk and Immunefi founder Mitchell Amador. Even pseudonymous players like The Crypto Dog were included on the list, as well as concepts such as energy-sensitive green tokens. On Feb. 10, Cointelegraph drew back the curtain on rankings 71–80, revealing names such as Alex Gluchowski, CEO of Matter Labs, who was ranked No. 77; Adam Back who was ranked No 74; Cathie Wood at spot No 72; and more.
Impact of Figures Featured in List
The people included in this year’s installment have had a major impact within the crypto space through their actions and headlines in 2022 which will carry into 2023. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has caused much controversy throughout his tenure due to his involvement with BitMEX’s legal issues over AML/KYC violations which led to him stepping down from his role at BitMEX earlier this year. Similarly, entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk has been making waves by advocating for Bitcoin adoption through his Twitter account where he recently announced that he had purchased another $1 million worth of BTC following his previous $1 million purchase last month..
Pseudonymous Players Featured
In addition to featuring prominent figures within the crypto space such as Cathie Wood (Ark Investment Management) or Alex Gluchowski (CEO at Matter Labs), Cointelegraph also highlighted those that remain anonymous—such as The Crypto Dog who took spot No 83 on the list—which shows that pseudonymous people can still make an impact even without widespread recognition or fame outside of their respective communities..
