The crypto space has seen a number of major changes in the past year and this has had an impact on the reputation of some of the leading figures in the industry. To find out who was the most influential person in crypto for 2022, Whalechart.org conducted a recent poll. The survey included four options – Vitalik Buterin, Charles Hoskinson, Changpeng „CZ“ Zhao, and Sam Bankman-Fried.

A total of 36,000 people participated in the poll and the results revealed that Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson secured the most votes at 36.5 percent. However, it was a close call as Binance’s Changpeng Zhao came second by a whisker with 34 percent vote in total. Interestingly, the disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was ahead of Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin by seven percentage points.

On the results of the poll, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao congratulated Charles Hoskinson for emerging as the most influential crypto personality. In response, Hoskinson called it a tough vote adding that it was a tie between him and CZ. „It was a tough one. I think we’ll call it a draw,“ he wrote.

The results of this poll are in stark contrast to CoinMarketCap’s survey which was conducted earlier this year. According to their survey, Changpeng Zhao was the most influential crypto leader beating Vitalik Buterin, who was at the second place.

The poll conducted by Whalechart.org is a reminder of the changing dynamics in the crypto world. The credibility of some of the top crypto leaders has been affected due to the recent events. It will be interesting to see how the crypto landscape looks like in the coming years and who will emerge as the most influential crypto leader in 2022.
