.@InvestorIndex1 created a list similar to ours, but just with venture investors (both individuals & firms).

We think that this is going to be useful to projects focused on a specific communities. This way they can identify investors who can be really helpful.
There are some interesting insights here. We missed them looking at the complete list:
.@A16Z is the only "top tier" VC, which ranked close to the top of the influence for BTC cluster. @sequoia (#10) @GreylockVC (#11) @foundersfund (#12) are behind much smaller and young firms, like @BoostVC (#6), @Amentum (#7), @blockchaincap (#8) and @TallyCapital (#9)
When it comes to individual investors BTC cluster is dominated by angels with @whalepanda on top. He is followed by @TraceMayer (#2), @bendavenport (#3), @alistairmilne (#4). Alistair seems to also run a hedge fund, though.
@nic__carter from @CastleIslandVC ranked as the most influential VC for BTC cluster (#4 overall). He is even higher than @barrysilbert (#5) from @DCGco and @CremeDeLaCrypto (#6) from @blockchaincap.
When it comes to firms, the strongest brands in the BTC cluster seem to belong to @DCGco #1, @PanteraCapital (#2) and @winklevosscap (#3).
The top 3 funds in ETH ranked: @A16Z, @Coinfund_io & @Amentum. However, their partners are not in the top of the list for individuals. @FEhrsam who ranked #1 runs @Paradigm and @cburniske’s (#4) @placeholdervc came #8. Does this mean that this funds should go up over time?
It looks like overall VC investors play a bigger role in the ETH community cluster, whereas BTC is dominated by individual angel investors.
The top firms in the XRP cluster are the usual suspects: @DCGco (#2), @a16z (#3) & @PanteraCapital (#4). One exception is @arringtonXRPcap, which ranked #1 for this cluster despite being outside of top 30 for all other clusters.
.@arrington (founder of @arringtonXRPcap) also ranked #1 in the XRP cluster among individual investors. #2 is @barrysilbert. More interestingly, @APompliano makes his appearance in the top 3 most influential individual investors for the XRP cluster.
In the overall crypto cluster, the top 3 firms are not a surprise: @PanteraCapital (#1), @DCGco (#2) & @a16z (#3). Interestingly, @winklevosscap is #5.
There is an interesting trend emerging from @InvestorIndex1 results: many firms, which ranked at the top don't have any partners who'd rank equally high. Consequently, some of the most influential investors come from less recognized funds.
