In a fast-moving space like crypto, influencers act as guides, analysts, entertainers and sometimes prophets. Here are the 10 most followed personalities in the crypto world — and what makes them so influential:

1. CZ (Changpeng Zhao)

CEO of Binance

One tweet from CZ can move markets. As the head of the world’s biggest exchange, traders follow him for industry insights, product updates and regulatory direction.

2. Vitalik Buterin

Co-founder of Ethereum

Regarded as a genius in crypto circles, Vitalik’s technical posts and philosophical takes on decentralization carry immense weight with builders and investors alike.

3. Michael Saylor

Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy

Known as Bitcoin’s loudest corporate bull, Saylor attracts a huge following for his bold BTC convictions and billion-dollar accumulation strategies.

4. Anthony “Pomp” Pompliano

Investor & Podcast Host

With mainstream appeal and a business-first mindset, Pomp bridges Wall Street and crypto Twitter, delivering digestible analysis for newcomers and pros.

5. Cathie Wood

CEO of ARK Invest

Her futuristic investment vision and public bets on Bitcoin ETFs make her a source of inspiration (and price speculation) across the crypto-investor spectrum.

6. Raoul Pal

Macro economist & founder of Real Vision

Raoul blends big-picture macro trends with crypto narratives, making him popular with high-level thinkers and long-term thesis builders.

7. PlanB (@100trillionUSD)

Creator of the Stock-to-Flow Bitcoin model

Famous for his (controversial) price prediction charts, PlanB became a cult figure among traders during the last bull run.

8. Ben Armstrong (BitBoy Crypto)

YouTuber & media personality

With hype-heavy altcoin coverage and a massive audience, BitBoy influences retail traders looking for the next moonshot.

9. Andre Cronje

DeFi pioneer & developer

Respected for building Yearn Finance and other DeFi projects, Andre’s posts affect developer sentiment and protocol ecosystems.

10. El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele

The “Bitcoin President”

By making Bitcoin legal tender, Bukele became a global crypto icon. His bold state-level bet attracts equal parts supporters, critics — and massive attention.

Why they matter:

These influencers shape narratives, push adoption, and often sway short-term price movements. Traders follow them not just for alpha — but to stay ahead in a game where information is king and timing is everything.
