The BeInCrypto Institutional 100 — On-Chain Finance Infrastructure (2026 Long List) identifies the infrastructure layer that lets regulated finance operate on public and permissioned blockchains.
The category covers embedded wallet infrastructure, bank-grade on-chain settlement networks, oracle and data middleware, interoperability protocols, developer tooling, programmable key management, embedded crypto payment APIs, staking infrastructure, and integrated financial operating systems.
Custody is covered separately under Category 2.4: Best Custody Provider. Stablecoin issuance and orchestration, tokenization platforms, and pure DeFi protocols are also evaluated in their own categories. BitGo appears here as a partner-override entry because of its federal trust bank charter, Go Network settlement, USD1 stablecoin issuance, and broader integrated infrastructure role.
MethodologyThis category is evaluated under Track A of the BeInCrypto Institutional 100 methodology: 50% quantitative metrics and 50% Expert Council scoring.
Assessment spans seven criteria: institutional client roster, regulatory licensure and certifications, on-chain scale and reach, security record and audit history, capital backing and runway, partnership depth with regulated entities, and innovation signal.
Data was verified using SEC EDGAR, FCA, BaFin, FINMA, MAS, Bermuda Monetary Authority, OCC, NYDFS, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 attestations, audited reports, Messari interoperability reports, DefiLlama, on-chain analytics, partnership announcements, and private-market sources including PitchBook, Tracxn, and Crunchbase.
Every firm on the list underwent a May 2026 verification pass to confirm active product status, current funding, and the absence of unresolved material legal or security overhangs.
