Top Crypto KOLs You Should Be Following in 2025

4 min read

Looking for signal over noise? Here’s a focused, PromoJ-curated list of crypto KOLs to follow in 2025. We’ve limited it to seven voices you shared and rewrote the blurbs in our style – marketing-first, source-minded, and useful for both builders and investors.

Why these KOLs

Each voice below consistently delivers one (or more) of the following: primary research, product-level insight, credible market context, or consumer protection. Treat them as inputs to your strategy – not trading signals.

1) Vitalik Buterin  –  Ethereum Co-Founder

Why follow: Original thinking on scalability, cryptography, governance, and ethics. Vitalik’s posts often become the industry’s reading list.
Use this for: Long-term product direction (L2s, data availability, ZK), token design trade-offs, and credible references for docs/whitepapers.

2) Michael Saylor  –  Bitcoin Macro and Treasury

Why follow: Clear institutional narrative for BTC as “digital property.” Boardroom-friendly frameworks on risk, balance sheets, and time horizons.
Use this for: Treasury memos, narrative alignment around BTC in your materials, and talking points for enterprise or fintech partners.

3) Anthony “Pomp” Pompliano  –  Investor and Media

Why follow: High-signal interviews across founders, policymakers, and macro thinkers. Bridges TradFi and crypto with approachable, repeatable frameworks.
Use this for: Narrative timing, investor-grade talking points, and discovery of operators you may want to partner with.

4) Chris Dixon  –  Web3 Venture and Thesis (a16z)

Why follow: Durable essays (e.g., Web3 stack) and mental models for builders. Great lens on infra, social, and consumer crypto.
Use this for: Founder messaging, roadmap prioritization, and references that resonate with developers and regulators alike.

5) Owen “Hasheur” Simonin  –  EU Education and Adoption

Why follow: Clear, accessible explainers for a large French-speaking audience; balanced coverage of projects, DeFi, and policy.
Use this for: EU-focused go-to-market, localized education, and simplifying complex features for mainstream users.

6) Coffeezilla  –  Investigations and Consumer Protection

Why follow: Deep-dive reporting on scams and misaligned incentives; raises the bar on transparency.
Use this for: Pre-mortems on risk, internal brand-safety checks, and building trust by adopting stronger disclosure standards.

7) The Moon – Market Narratives and BTC Focus

Why follow: High-frequency market coverage with a strong Bitcoin lens; quick takes on catalysts and narrative shifts.
Important: he rarely runs ads, so the feed is less cluttered with integrations. He also operates multi-language dubbed channels, making his content accessible in several languages.
Use this for: Fast sentiment checks, headline-driven moves, and ideas for timing content/announcements to waves of interest.

How to turn follows into growth

  • Build a KOL List (30–40 max): Organize by purpose – macro, builder, security, regional.
  • Save Searches/Lists on X: Separate “research mode” from “breaking news.”
  • Verify Before You Act: Look for primary sources (code, on-chain data, filings) cited by multiple independent KOLs.
  • Log Narrative Shifts: When two or more of the above align on a theme (e.g., L2 data availability), brief your team and adjust content/roadmap accordingly.

     

Red-flag hygiene

Undisclosed promos, constant referral spam, no sources, or refusal to correct errors – mute and move on.
