Despite the bearish cryptocurrency landscape in 2019, blockchain projects and cryptocurrency influencers seem to be bolstering the technology with brazen advancements and optimistic views for the future.

This past year has been less fruitful when it comes to blockchain funding. While the first quarter of 2018 saw $15 million plowed into crypto, the same period in 2019 barely crossed the $3 million mark.

While easy blockchain funding may be slipping away for new startups, the top 100 crypto characters of 2019 demonstrate that the focus of the crypto space in 2019 tend to lean more toward pushing mass adoption and integrating blockchain into existing enterprise infrastructure.

This year’s list of crypto’s most influential people is as diverse as ever, with crypto innovation seeping in from all corners of the world. 2019 has seen technologists, investors, policymakers and visionaries from all walks of life entering the crypto space, making for an interesting year in terms of cryptocurrency endorsement and regulation. As these key influencers branch out around the world, 2020 is predicted to be an exciting year in terms of mass blockchain adoption.

We want to give a special thanks to our sponsor, Crypto.com, who are doing amazing work with mass crypto adoption via their easy-to-use mobile app, credit cards (with amazing rewards) and their recently launched crypto exchange.
