Ripple Emerges as Key Player in Global Financial Infrastructure Shift

According to Fortune's 2026 Web3 rankings, there has been a significant shift in the global financial infrastructure landscape. The report highlights how the focus of Web3 has moved from speculative crypto to institutional and regulatory-driven financial infrastructure.

This convergence with traditional finance is reflected in the emphasis on functional layers such as tokenization, custody, stablecoins, and compliance. Ripple stands out among the top 15 Web3 companies building this global financial infrastructure layer, alongside Coinbase and Blockchain.com.
