Wall Street Takes Center Stage in Fortune's First-Ever Crypto 100 List

The crypto industry has seen a significant shift in its institutional landscape as Wall Street giants now dominate Fortune's first-ever Crypto 100 list. The ranking, which includes 100 companies and protocols across 10 categories of 10 each, was compiled using data analysis from Inca Digital alongside a survey of crypto experts.

The list marks a 'suit-and-tie era' of crypto, with names like BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs sitting beside the industry's crypto-native pioneers. The top 10 category leaders are Coinbase (CeFi), Franklin Templeton (TradFi), Robinhood (Fintech), Hyperliquid (DeFi), Andreessen Horowitz (VCs), Tether (Stablecoins), Chainalysis (Crypto Services), BlackRock (DATs & ETFs), MARA Holdings (Mining), and Bitcoin (Blockchains & Protocols).

The TradFi category is dominated by Wall Street, with Franklin Templeton leading the way. The DATs & ETFs category also features heavyweights like BlackRock, while mainstream names such as Robinhood lead the Fintech category.
