Cointelegraph Top 100 is continuing to showcase the best of the digital industry’s most important, creative and insightful people. Even though 2022 has been an up-and-down year so far, it was enough to compile a Top 100 listing that captures the cryptocurrency and blockchain landscapes of one year ago.

It’s impossible to populate a list in any niche that would be universally accepted; therefore, the criteria for making the list this year were unconventional in many ways, as the Cointelegraph team spent numerous hours finding the trendsetters over the past year who not only had a fruitful 2021 but are likely to continue shaping the industry in 2022.
