"The industry, which was once defined by crypto trading, is now much broader. We honor a wide range of industries, from VC firms to NFT shops to data companies to decentralized protocols, that have created major enterprises around blockchain technology."
"We think it demonstrates that there is indeed interesting work going on in crypto and blockchain technology that will change the business world in many ways. One example: how NFTs are remaking the music industry."
Following cryptocurrency's market collapse and FTX's failure, Fortune established the CRYPTO 40 list to identify companies advancing blockchain technology beyond speculative trading. The list evaluates enterprises across eight categories using rigorous methodology, financial executive surveys, and multiple metrics. It recognizes the industry's evolution from crypto trading to broader applications including venture capital firms, NFT platforms, data companies, and decentralized protocols. Notable examples include NFTs reshaping the music industry. The list notably excludes Binance from top positions, reflecting ongoing regulatory scrutiny from the SEC and CFTC targeting major exchanges.
