TOP-54 Crypto Persons 2024 by Cryptonews.net

The freshiest, fourth media rating of crypto industry persons by Cryptonews.net is already here! Our team analyzed the media content in its English version for 2024 and conducted an additional comparative analysis with previous years. This is how the TOP-54 people of the outgoing year look like.

Description of methodology

As it was before, we stick to the “Mighty Deck” metaphor — meaning that the crypto market is a big deck of cards that gets shuffled every year. This is the reason why there are exactly 54 people in the final rating, according to the number of cards in the deck. However, in order to create a final short list, we needed to study the mentions of all people in all media content published in our app. There were several thousand people named or mentioned in the news.

To analyze such an impressive data volume, the team developed a system of automatic and manual selection. Below we present several parameters according to which the final points in the ratings of each character were obtained:

• the number of mentions of a person only in headlines,
• the number of unique mentions of a person only in texts,
• the number of mentions of a person only in texts,
• % of mentions of a person only in headlines,
• % of unique mentions of a person only in texts,
• % of mentions of a person only in texts.
