In Forbes’ third edition of the “Fintech 50”, a list of the top 50 financial technology companies globally of 2018, released on Feb. 13, eleven of the companies listed use Blockchain technology or are connected to the cryptocurrency industry.
The founders of three of the companies, The Bitfury Group, Coinbase, and Ripple that made the Fintech 50 also made Forbes’ list of the “Richest People in Cryptocurrency” released last week.
Forbes’ site has a separate article breaking down the influence of Blockchain and crypto companies that made the Fintech 50 list.
Forbes writes that perhaps unseen behind the nonstop news coverage of crypto price volatility, the Blockchain companies listed in the Fintech 50 are “building infrastructure—to support both public cryptocurrency markets and initiatives that could transform how current financial transactions are executed and recorded.”
