The latest installment of Cointelegraph’s Top 100 is live, with positions 51–60 now revealed to the public. Each year, Cointelegraph crafts a list of the top 100 figures in the crypto industry, with its staff casting votes on which to include. Each member of the Top 100 gets their own profile explaining why they were included. The first 10 entries, profiles 90–100, were unveiled on Feb. 8. An additional 10 profiles have been released each weekday since, leading up to the forthcoming unveiling of the top spot.
