According to a new report titled “State of Crypto,” released by the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, about 60% of companies on the Fortune 500 list are actively developing and implementing blockchain projects. This significant increase in interest in blockchain technologies among the largest American companies has been recorded for the second consecutive year.

Activity of Fortune 500 Companies in the Blockchain Sector
The report is based on the results of a survey conducted in January 2025 by the analytics firm EY-Parthenon. Data from NRG and The Block Pro Research were also used for the analysis. It was found that 6 out of 10 Fortune 500 companies are already experimenting with blockchain, and 20% of executives view this technology as a key element of their organization’s long-term strategy.
Compared to previous years, there is a noticeable increase in interest in blockchain. In 2023, 52% of Fortune 100 companies created cases using blockchain solutions, and in 2024, this figure among Fortune 500 increased to 56%. As of early 2025, 60% of companies in this category are already developing in the blockchain field.
Plans for Implementation and the Role of Regulatory Clarity
Among businesses that have not yet integrated blockchain solutions, nearly half (46%) plan to do so within the next three years. At the same time, 80% of small and medium-sized business representatives are confident that blockchain can solve a number of issues in reporting and settlements.
The report also includes the results of a survey of institutional investors: four out of five plan to increase their investments in cryptocurrencies during 2025. Meanwhile, the overwhelming majority of respondents (75%) emphasize that further development of the industry will be facilitated by regulatory clarity.
“It is clear that significant regulatory clarity is still needed for the full realization of the potential of cryptocurrencies. This is why the adoption of legislation regarding market structure and stablecoins is so important for the future of crypto innovations in America.”
It is expected that in June 2025, the U.S. Senate may consider a bill that will define the rules for the stablecoin market, which could serve as a catalyst for further implementation of blockchain solutions among American corporations.
