CB Insights today named BitGo, the leader in digital asset financial services, to its inaugural Blockchain 50 ranking, a list of the top private companies applying or analyzing blockchain technology to solve business or consumer problems across various industries.
Developed in partnership with Blockdata, a blockchain intelligence and data company that was acquired by CB Insights, the 2020 Blockchain 50 cohort includes companies from all around the globe across varying investment stages of development, from early-stage startups to well-funded unicorns. Combined, these companies have raised over $3B across 113 deals since 2017.
“Blockchain moved from possible to practical in 2020 as evidenced by the enterprise adoption we tracked. At the same time, the blockchain company ecosystem also became more crowded, creating noise and uncertainty for enterprises as they evaluate vendors and partners. The Blockchain 50, which we’ve created in conjunction with Blockdata, was born out of a desire to reduce that uncertainty and recognize the pioneering companies using the blockchain,” said CB Insights CEO Anand Sanwal. “This inaugural class of the Blockchain 50 is tackling a range of use cases across trade finance, capital markets, exchanges and more and are being used by banks, governments and major retailers. We’re excited to see the impact the Blockchain 50 will have on industries as their solutions are deployed and to see the continued evolution of blockchain technology as it matures.”
“Recognition from CB Insights for its inaugural Blockchain 50 list reinforces BitGo’s leadership as a digital assets financial services provider and its long established mission to build the most secure and compliant financial infrastructure for digital assets on the market today,” said Mike Belshe, CEO, BitGo. “As one of the most established players in the industry, BitGo has been innovating and transforming the way institutional investors custody, trade and lend digital assets, as well as navigate through the complex landscape. Our team’s passion and commitment to innovation has enabled BitGo to evolve from a digital assets custodian to a fully integrated digital asset financial services provider and we are confident that this is just the beginning for the company and the future of digital money.”
Through an evidence-based approach, the CB Insights research team, in collaboration with Blockdata, selected the Blockchain 50 from thousands of applications and nominees, based on factors including patent activity, business relations, investor profiles, news sentiment analysis, proprietary Mosaic scores, market potential, competitive landscape, team strength, and tech novelty.
The Mosaic Score, based on CB Insights’ algorithm, measures the overall health and growth potential of private companies to help predict a company’s momentum.
