The most popular crypto-influencers, and how much they make on social media
Social media has played a pivotal role in the world of crypto and has been used as a source of investment inspiration, relevant news, and crypto discourse. There are many famous crypto-influencers that have emerged from their active commentary on cryptocurrency and have managed to create big platforms with thousands of followers. But who is the most prominent crypto influencer in the space?

His impressive social media following means he can earn an estimated $5,560 per Instagram post.
Changpeng Zhao ranks as the third most popular crypto-influencer with an overall score of 7.25.
