← See all downloadables

Updated October 2026: Originally published in 2021; follower figures updated October 2026.

This list covers 11 Malaysian influencers who share finance, investment and crypto knowledge in Mandarin, Malay and English. For each one you will find their platforms, handles, follower count and what their content is about. The original list sorted creators by follower size as of July 2021, and we have kept that order. The table also shows each creator's current figure, checked in October 2026.

We also include a short interview with crypto creator Ben Quachee on how he started investing in crypto and where he gets his news.

A note from Wen

As a former equity research analyst, I know most analysts have a wealth of knowledge. They often don't share it in public because of all the paperwork they signed about disclosing information. Back then, investing was only for those who knew where to find the information.

Ten years later, stock information is widely available for nearly free, thanks to great websites like The Motley Fool. Today we have amazing teachers and coaches who freely share their knowledge in languages we all understand, so we can all learn together.

I have been a huge beneficiary. Through these coaches I learned a lot about bitcoin and cryptocurrency. I didn't last as an analyst, but I remain an investor, because I know the best way to financial freedom is to reinvest and have multiple income streams. Here are some of my favourite finance, investment and crypto influencers.

The list at a glance

The original figure is the one printed in the 2021 e-book. The current figure was checked on each creator's public profile in October 2026, and names the platform it comes from.

The e-book presents the list in two parts, each sorted by follower size: influencers 1 to 7, then influencers 8 to 11.
