Majority of Fortune 500 Companies Now Engaged in Blockchain Projects, Says Coinbase Report

Majority of Fortune 500 Firms Now Active in Blockchain, Coinbase Report Shows

A growing number of U.S. corporations are integrating blockchain into their operations, with 60% of Fortune 500 companies now engaged in blockchain initiatives, according to Coinbase’s Q2 State of Crypto Report released Tuesday.

The report, based on independent surveys conducted in April, offers a snapshot of crypto and Web3 adoption trends across both large enterprises and small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) in the United States. Researchers gathered insights from 100 Fortune 500 executives and 251 decision-makers at SMBs, alongside an analysis of blockchain activity among Fortune 100 companies from 2020 to 2025.

Among the highlights:

Stablecoin adoption is surging, with a 54% increase in supply year-over-year.
Over 33% of SMBs currently use crypto solutions in their operations.
20% of Fortune 500 leaders view onchain initiatives as strategically important for the future.
More than 80% of institutional investors plan to deepen their crypto exposure this year.

Looking ahead, momentum appears poised to grow. Nearly half of SMBs that haven’t adopted crypto yet expect to do so within three years. Of those, 82% believe blockchain could help address key financial challenges, such as payment processing inefficiencies or limited access to global liquidity.

Despite growing adoption, the need for clearer policy remains a dominant theme. 90% of Fortune 500 executives agreed that regulatory clarity in the U.S. is critical for innovation in digital finance.

“Blockchain is no longer a fringe experiment — it’s becoming embedded in the core infrastructure of business,” the report stated, highlighting a turning point in institutional sentiment.

Coinbase’s findings reflect an accelerating shift in corporate priorities as crypto tools become more integrated into mainstream finance, with calls for better regulation growing louder across industries.
