BeInCrypto Institutional Research: 15 Firms Leading On-Chain Finance Infrastructure

BeInCrypto's Institutional 100 program has identified 15 firms at the forefront of on-chain finance infrastructure. These companies, listed alphabetically, are crucial for enabling regulated finance on blockchains. The category spans embedded wallets, bank-grade settlement, oracle middleware, interoperability protocols, developer platforms, programmable key management, payment APIs, staking infrastructure, and financial OS platforms. The selection process involved screening over 25 firms, with the final 15 advancing based on a 50% quantitative data and 50% Expert Council scoring. Key assessment criteria included institutional client roster, regulatory licensure, on-chain scale, security, capital backing, regulated partnerships, governance, and innovation. Custody, stablecoin issuance, tokenization platforms, and pure DeFi protocols are evaluated in separate categories. A shortlist will be announced in May 2026, with the winner revealed at Proof of Talk in Paris on June 2-3, 2026.
