In early February, Cointelegraph started unveiling its 2023 Top 100 list<\/a> of the finest heroes and worst villains expected to impact the crypto and blockchain space in the year ahead. The list compiles the votes of Cointelegraph readers and staff who decided which players had the most significant impact on the sector in 2022 and who will likely make the biggest splash in 2023. Profiles have been released in batches of 10, starting from No. 100.<\/p>\n Profiles 21\u201330 dropped on Feb. 17, with Sebastian Borget, co-founder and chief operating officer of The Sandbox, at No. 30; Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal at No. 24; and United States Representative Tom Emmer at No. 23. Rankings 11\u201320 are the latest batch of profiles published. <\/p>\n DISCOVER COINTELEGRAPH\u2019S TOP 100 IN CRYPTO AND BLOCKCHAIN 2023<\/a><\/p>\n Just outside the top 10 sits Gary Gensler, Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Gensler has significant knowledge about cryptocurrencies and blockchain,\u00a0and\u00a0previously taught a<\/a> Massachusetts Institute of Technology class on the sector. Touting a view that most digital assets fall under the classification of securities, Gensler arguably wielded a heavy hand in terms of crypto sector regulation in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n
