最新报道：According to the news from the Coin World, Elon Musk has become the most influential figure in the crypto space, surpassing US President Donald Trump. The ranking of crypto influence also includes current and former members of Congress. It is worth noting that there is only one non-US politician and one woman on the influence list. ApeX Protocol analyzes and evaluates the most influential public figures in the crypto space today through data-driven indicators. The most influential voices in the crypto space today Earlier this month, the trading platform ApeX Protocol released an in-depth analysis to identify the most influential voices in the crypto space. Its methodology combines estimated crypto holdings, net assets and social media coverage. The final score is determined by X and the total number of followers on Instagram, reflecting each figure's ability to influence public opinion and attract attention in the crypto space. 1. Elon Musk The Tesla CEO and Dogecoin enthusiast surpassed President Trump to become the most influential political figure in the crypto space. Musk has a huge social media following of 221.2 million, often shares his crypto views, and his estimated $2 billion in crypto assets (including company investments) puts him at the top of the list in various indicators. 2. Donald Trump The current US President is ranked second. He has 142.7 million followers on X and holds the third largest crypto portfolio, over $1.3 million. Earlier this year, the Defenders of Democracy Fund released a report stating that President Trump's crypto assets account for 37% of his total wealth. 3. Nayib Bukele Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele is the only non-US politician in the top ten. He holds about $8.4 million in crypto assets, despite initially making Bitcoin a legal tender, later withdrawing the decision under pressure from the International Monetary Fund. He frequently interacts with his 17.6 million social media followers to discuss crypto topics. 4. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The current Secretary of Health and Human Services holds $750,000 worth of cryptocurrencies and has a total of nearly 11 million widely followed social media accounts. Kennedy often calls Bitcoin "free money" and believes that Bitcoin provides middle-class Americans with a hedge against inflation and a devaluation of the US dollar, which he worries is at risk. 5. Ted Cruz The current Texas Senator and former state counselor has about $32,500 in crypto assets and 9.1 million followers on Facebook and Instagram. He actively advocates Texas as a Bitcoin mining and crypto hub to promote jobs, innovation and growth. Cruz supports Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as an important safeguard against government control and financial freedom, emphasizing decentralization to oppose excessive intervention by central bank digital currencies. 6. JD Vance Following Senator Cruz, Vice President JD Vance has become a key influencer in the crypto space, ranking sixth. His influence comes from his public office and 6.2 million social media followers, and he holds an estimated $375,000 in crypto assets, ahead of most politicians. Vance believes that the United States should strategically embrace Bitcoin, especially in light of China's ban on cryptocurrency trading and mining. He suggested that Beijing's opposition to Bitcoin should prompt the United States to adopt it. The Vice President also praised the US government's move to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve and continued to encourage the crypto community to remain politically active. 7. Madison Cothern Madison Cothern, a 29-year-old former Republican congressman from North Carolina, has $116,500 in digital assets. As the youngest public figure on the list, he has more than 1.18 million followers on social media. As a constitutional conservative, he demonstrates the appeal of cryptocurrency among a new generation of political voices. Cothern generally supports cryptocurrency, has promoted the "Let's Go Brandon" (LGB) coin, and expressed optimism that "this will go to the moon." But his crypto trading has caused controversy. In December 2022, the House Ethics Committee found that he improperly promoted a token in which he held and did not disclose his investment, and accepted "inappropriate gifts" through favorable conditions. He also failed to submit transaction reports on time. Although insider trading allegations were investigated, the committee did not find that he profited from non-public information. 8. Cynthia Loomis Wyoming Senator Cynthia Loomis is a leading advocate of cryptocurrency in Congress, known as the "Queen of Crypto", and the only woman in the top ten on the list. She holds about $230,000 in crypto reserves and has more than 390,000 active followers on social media. Loomis is currently the chair of the Senate Digital Asset Banking Subcommittee. In March 2025, she reintroduced the BITCOIN Act, which aims to establish a U.S. strategic bitcoin reserve. She also co-sponsored the GENIUS Act, which was signed into law by President Trump. Loomis supports the CLARITY Act, which, if passed, would establish a regulatory market framework for digital assets. 9. Francis Suarez Miami Mayor and well-known lawyer Francis Suarez ranked second from the bottom with about $10,000 in virtual currency assets and more than 200,000 social media followers. Despite his relatively low net worth, the Republican mayor has attracted national attention for his strong support and ambition. Suarez has actively promoted the construction of Miami as the "Bitcoin Capital" to promote economic growth and attract technology talent. His initiatives include accepting Bitcoin for salary payments and supporting the payment of taxes in cryptocurrency. He also played a key role in the launch of MiamiCoin, actively attracting crypto businesses. Despite market volatility, he still believes that Bitcoin is an important tool for "free currency" and economic diversification. 10. Pat Toomey American businessman and former Pennsylvania Congressman Pat Toomey ranked in the top ten with nearly $8,000 in crypto assets and about 187,000 social media followers. As a former ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee, Toomey advocates for a clear regulatory framework that distinguishes crypto commodities from securities. He is a key figure in stablecoin legislation and has proposed the Stablecoin Trust Act of 2022 to ensure appropriate support and transparency Special Mentions: Michael Collins and Michael McCaul Georgia Rep.
