The BeInCrypto Institutional 100 — Digital Assets Fintech (2026 Long List) identifies fintech firms connecting fiat payment systems with digital assets through consumer apps, enterprise infrastructure, stablecoins, Lightning rails, wallets, and embedded crypto services.
The category includes crypto-native payment processors, retail fintech platforms, enterprise acquirers, stablecoin-driven fintechs, and non-custodial ecosystems. Firms whose primary role is fiat onramp infrastructure are evaluated separately under the Onramp/Offramp category.
MethodologyThis category is evaluated under Track B of the BeInCrypto Institutional 100 methodology: 30% quantitative metrics, 50% Expert Council scoring, and 20% disclosed data.
Assessment spans seven weighted criteria: crypto product depth, distribution scale, regulatory standing, innovation, capital maturity, geographic reach, reputation, and contribution across fintech sub-segments.
Data was verified against NYDFS, FinCEN, FCA, MiCA-CASP, OCC, MAS, CySEC, AUSTRAC, and FINTRAC registers, as well as audited filings, company disclosures, partnership announcements, and private-market sources such as PitchBook, Tracxn, and Crunchbase.
