🎉 The wait is over. Introducing CoinDesk's #MostInfluential2023. This annual list (no, it's not a ranking) recognizes the people who, for the better, and sometimes the worse, defined the year in digital assets and Web3. We recognize 50 honorees and entities, with the top 10 making an outsized impact. We also asked select digital artists to create NFTs for 10 of the honorees. Each NFT will be up for auction for 24 hours starting at 12 p.m. ET today and a portion of the proceeds will go to @HungerProject. You can find them over on @TransientLabs 👉 go.coindesk.com/most-influen… Here's a look at the top 10 👇 • Casey Rodarmor (@rodarmor): For shaking up #Bitcoin with his "Ordinals Theory." • Ryan Selkis (@twobitidiot): For building a political fundraising machine for crypto that's ready to sway elections in 2024. • Jenny Johnson: For being at the forefront of Wall Street's embrace of #bitcoinETFs and crypto technology. • Lido DAO (@LidoFinance): For becoming a victim of its own success and attracting criticism as its share of staked $ETH has grown to nearly one-third. • Paolo Ardoino (@paoloardoino): For diversifying @tether’s investments after a banner year where the stablecoin giant is on track to profit $4.5 billion. • Jose Fernandez da Ponte: For helping @PayPal unveil its own Ethereum-based U.S. dollar stablecoin. • Gary Gensler (@GaryGensler): For having more influence on crypto than any regulator or law enforcement official this year. • Brian Armstrong (@brian_armstrong): For being the biggest big gun still in the hot seat. • Sam Altman (@sama): For heading ChatGPT and Worldcoin and changing the way we use the internet in 2023. • Brad Garlinghouse (@bgarlinghouse): For emerging triumphant this year in legal cases with big implications for crypto's future.

* @LayerZero_Core just released official overview of $ZRO tokenomics and supply. Tldr; Fixed 1B supply. 514M currently unlocked/circulating. Aggressive buyback & re-lock programme. $112M deployed, major 50m $ZRO repurchase from investors & all @StargateFinance revenue 100% to market buys. Elite institutional backing: @a16z , @citsecurities, @ARKInvest , @tether & others have bought $ZRO at market price with long-term locks & equity alignment — all plus @The_DTCC & @ICE_Markets support the upcoming Zero L1 blockchain. Low ACTUAL sell pressure: Despite ongoing unlocks, all data shows most strategic holders are retaining the vast majority of their tokens. Monthly open-market selling has been very modest. Clear value accrual: $ZRO is the single token capturing upside from @LayerZero_Core 's dominant cross-chain infrastructure, all @StargateFinance revenue & the upcoming institutional-grade Zero blockchain deep dive article here layerzero.network/blog/the-z…

Fun fact: Stargate has spent more on $ZRO buybacks ($2.8M) than CCIP $LINK has made in fees since its inception ($1.8M) Stargate started buybacks 8 months ago

Centralized or decentralized.”
