In the third edition of the Forbes Fintech 50, a list of the 50 largest fintech companies of 2018, released on February 13, 11 of the 50 companies use blockchain technology or are in some way related to the cryptocurrency market.
The founders of three of the companies listed on this list - The Bitfury Group, Coinbase and Ripple - were also included in Forbes' list of the 50 Richest People in the Cryptocurrency World, which was published a week earlier. The publication writes that, having gone unnoticed behind the mountain of news about the price of cryptocurrencies and their volatility, the companies listed are "Blockchain infrastructure builders. Those who will support and support future cryptocurrency markets and technology initiatives, those who will change our understanding and the way we look at remittances and the financial system as a whole."
Of the nine companies that Forbes editors noted as “the future of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology,” five made the Fintech list for the first time 50.”
Each of the companies listed has a short promotional video describing their activities, their founders, their funding, and the companies “to which they may become a threat.” For example, Blockchain is described as “the most popular cryptocurrency wallet in the world,” and Blockchain is also stated to be a direct competitor to Coibase and Xapo. Blockchain-based office software company Chain is described as “a direct competitor to the inefficient storage of information in the financial environment.”
