New Entries in the Crypto Hall of Fame

The crypto landscape is as volatile as a roller coaster ride, but Cointelegraph’s Top 100 gives us a way to keep our feet on the ground—at least until the next market crash. The latest entries, 51 to 60, include some exciting new names shaking things up in 2023.

Epic Games: The Metaverse Maestro

At No. 57, Epic Games marks its debut on the list. Dedicating a significant chunk of its $2 billion funding from 2022 to the metaverse, Epic is positioning itself as a maestro in an increasingly virtual world. If you think gaming is just for kids, think again—these folks are redefining entertainment!

CEO Spotlight: New Faces Stepping Up

Joining Epic Games are some familiar faces from the crypto realm:

• Jay Hao, CEO of OKX, is making waves as one of the industry’s leading figures.
• Ray Youssef, co-founder and CEO of Paxful, is no stranger to spotlight, either!
• These new entrants embody the spirit of innovation that keeps the crypto community on its toes.

A Look Back: Comparing Lists

Every year, Cointelegraph publishes its list of top figures in crypto, and this year, there are some shiny new faces. If you’re keeping score, the entries reflect a blend of familiar names and fresh talent, showing the industry is constantly evolving. For instance:

• Last year’s Jedi overlords are still present, but some of them have swapped out their light sabers for, well, more light sabers—after all, the competition is fierce!
• Cobie, the Twitter celebrity, ranks in at No. 74 this year. Why? Just check his tweet count—it’s more than most athletes have in career goals!

What to Expect Next: The Big Reveal

Cointelegraph isn’t just dropping these names randomly; it’s a carefully curated spectacle. As we wait for the final entries, remember:

• The remaining top names will come out in groups of ten each weekday.
• Seven profiles will appear on February 17, leading up to a grand finish with the top three spotlighted over consecutive days.

The Drama Unfolds

In this thrilling saga called crypto, there’s always drama. This year’s Top 100 includes personalities like Do Kwon, in at No. 81, known for his controversial contributions as an industry ‘villain.’ Will he redeem himself or sink further? Stay tuned!

The unveiling of Cointelegraph’s Top 100 promises suspense until the very end. Who will take home the coveted top spots? Speculation is half the fun; let’s just hope the results don’t have us wishing for a time machine!
