Catenaa, Wednesday, June 11, 2025 – Nearly 60% of Fortune 500 companies are working on blockchain initiatives, a sharp uptick in corporate crypto engagement, according to Coinbase’s latest “State of Crypto” report released Tuesday.
The findings suggest that digital asset integration is becoming a long-term strategic priority for major US businesses.
The quarterly report, which references a January survey by EY-Parthenon, found that one in five Fortune 500 executives now view blockchain as essential to their company’s long-term plans, a 47% increase from last year.
Meanwhile, institutional interest is growing rapidly among small and medium-sized businesses, with a majority adopting or exploring tools such as stablecoins and crypto-based payments to resolve financial inefficiencies.
More than 80% of SMB respondents said blockchain addresses specific operational challenges, including invoice management and accounts receivable.
Nearly half of those not yet using crypto said they intend to adopt blockchain technologies within three years.
The report comes amid rising optimism among industry players following a pro-crypto shift in tone from President Donald Trump’s administration. Respondents said regulatory clarity could be a major growth catalyst, with Coinbase emphasizing the urgency of legislative action on digital assets, referencing proposed measures such as the GENIUS stablecoin bill and CLARITY Act.
Coinbase noted that institutional and corporate adoption hinges on consistent legal frameworks. The data includes insights from EY-Parthenon, The Block Pro Research, and NRG.
The trend signals deepening corporate trust in blockchain as traditional finance increasingly overlaps with decentralized technology.
