Twitter is one of the most popular social networks, especially in North America. Twitter has become one of the most important platforms for discussing various crypto projects, probably it is because Google and Facebook banned NFT advertising. At the moment, more than 3 thousand observers of the crypto world are actively functioning here. This study aims to understand who can have a real impact today and enjoy the most significant popularity.
Top 15 Individual Influencers
Today, I’ve tried to single out 15 people who have the most significant influence on the crypto exchange development. Let’s take a look:
- Elon Musk Number of subscribers — 95 million. Elon Musk is one of the most famous entrepreneurs in the world. He communicates with his audience mainly through Twitter. Here, he advertises his projects, such as Starlink, talks about social and humanitarian topics, and often talks about the crypto world. It’s no secret that he has had a significant impact on the development of various tokens and coins. For example, last year, Shiba Inu stated that Elon Musk invested a large amount of money in developing this, but the billionaire denied this data on his Twitter. The Shiba Inu price fell by more than 30% during that day. And there are many such results. At the beginning of this year, Elon Musk criticized Twitter’s desire to integrate NFT and enter the crypto market, and after that, he bought this social network altogether. That is why many crypto enthusiasts are worried about whether they will be able to use their non-fungible tokens in the form of avatars. He has also been actively arguing with Dmitry Rogozin, which is being actively discussed on the network.
- Neymar Jr Number of subscribers — 56.8 million. Neymar is one of the best footballers in the world. He actively maintains his page on Twitter, where many users follow him. Most of his posts here are related to professional activities, where he can start polemics with other famous football players. It is no secret that Neymar is actively interested in cryptocurrencies and everything connected with them. So, for example, recently, the news spread worldwide that he bought 2 NFTs for a million dollars from the Bored Ape Yacht (BAYC) collection. It is worth noting that this collection caught the attention of Eminem too. He paid over $450,000 for his monkey.
- Liam Number of subscribers — 34.6 million. One of the famous group One Direction members is also one of the most critical influencers in the world of cryptocurrencies.

Most of his Twitter page is filled with his professional activities, but he recently announced his desire to issue his cryptocurrency. According to preliminary data, traders will be able to trade this, like bitcoins, and owners of significant assets will be able to count on a personal meeting with a football player.
- Marshall Mathers Number of subscribers — 22.6 million. When you visit Eminem’s Twitter page, it’s immediately apparent that he is a crypto enthusiast. Instead of an avatar, he has the same NFT from the Bored Ape Yacht (BAYC) collection, which he bought for $450,000. Eminem’s love for the NFT also proved that the artist decided to release his own Shady Con collection. It is a high-quality animation with rap music.
- Ronaldinho Gaucho Number of subscribers — 20.7 million. Only the lazy professional footballer today is not into NFTs or cryptocurrencies. Of course, most of the Ronaldinho Gaúcho page is filled with football, but there is a small place for the crypto world.

Most of the images here are suitable for use as a Twitter avatar. An example can be found on the celebrity page.

It is an extremely interesting question, the top subscribers are in “celebrities” accounts, Sportsmans, Actors, Musicians etc. Did they truly love NFT, as an obvious individuals-interested-in-casual-investments of their interest in NFT is just a common trend and marketing budgets?
