Welcome to The BeInCrypto 100 Awards
A note from our Global Head of News, Brian McGleenon We should all pause for a moment. It’s easy to get jaded, another bull run, another crash, another protocol promising real-world utility.

A note from our Global Head of News, Brian McGleenon
We should all pause for a moment. It’s easy to get jaded, another bull run, another crash, another protocol promising real-world utility. But remember the early days, before the noise, when the Bitcoin white paper was a manifesto, not a meme, a raw, electric movement built on hard money principles, decentralization, and distrust of fiat. Just over a decade later, look how far we’ve come!
As a journalist, I’ve watched crypto grow from fringe forums to global headlines, so mainstream that even Donald Trump has now taken centre stage.
Through it all, BeInCrypto has chronicled the story of this global phenomenon. Since 2018, we’ve established ourselves as a leading voice, producing journalism that drives understanding, accountability, and real-world impact.
Our investigative reporting on crypto-linked political donations reached Capitol Hill when Senator John Kennedy referenced our exclusive May report on the $217,000 Senator Kirsten Gillibrand received from major crypto firms for her 2024 re-election. We’ve also been recognized on the European Commission’s EU Fintech Map, revealed under-the-table KYC probes from centralized exchanges, and appeared on a whitelist of sites accessible by Sam Bankman-Fried while on bail.
Today, BeInCrypto reaches readers in 26 languages worldwide, backed by over 150 staff and seasoned journalists reporting from multiple regions. Our correspondent desks track crypto’s evolution and its nuances across diverse cultures and markets, delivering coverage that is global, precise, and unmatched in the industry.
The BeInCrypto 100 Awards shine a light on the innovators of this space, the builders, thinkers, and visionaries shaping the next chapter of this industry. From DePIN networks to stablecoins in emerging markets, from wallets to regulation, education, and digital identity, the BeInCrypto 100 captures the stories defining crypto in 2025.
Reflecting the global nature of Web3, the awards run across Global, APAC, and LATAM, celebrating excellence in regions often overlooked by mainstream coverage. 2025 marks the inaugural edition of The BeInCrypto 100, a perfect moment to recognize the people driving innovation in an industry stepping into a new era of accountability and opportunity.

Wall Street giants collectively raise rate hike forecasts, US Treasury futures continue to fall, gold drops over 1% to break 4000
After the US October CPI exceeded expectations, Goldman Sachs and Nomura added a forecast for an interest rate hike in March next year, while Deutsche Bank included a forecast for a rate hike in January next year. Currently, the market has fully priced in a 25 basis point rate hike in December, with a 13% probability for a 50 basis point hike. On Wednesday, the US Treasury spot market was closed, but Treasury futures continued to fall, with corresponding yields rising by about 2 to 4 basis points, and spot gold came under pressure, dropping by 1.1%.
No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029
It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
