Ripple nombrada en la lista de las 15 mejores empresas de infraestructura Web3 de Fortune para 2026

Fortune's 2026 Web3 Rankings Signal Shift to Global Financial Infrastructure

Ripple has been featured in Fortune's Top 15 Web3 Companies Building the Global Financial Infrastructure Layer for 2026. The ranking reflects a broader shift in Web3 industry focus away from speculation toward institutional-grade infrastructure and real-world utility. On-chain analytics from BankXRP highlighted this change in Fortune's latest Web3 coverage, which now centers on infrastructure development rather than retail-driven market cycles. The market is increasingly shaped by institutions, regulation, and practical applications for cross-border payments and settlement.

Ripple appears in the Ecosystems, Trading & Payments category alongside Coinbase, Figure, Hyperliquid, and Blockchain.com. These firms are positioning themselves as foundational infrastructure where digital assets intersect with cross-border payments, liquidity provisioning, and institutional trading systems.

Web3 Infrastructure Layers Taking Shape

Fortune's 2026 segmentation reveals Web3 dividing into distinct functional financial layers. In tokenization and real-world assets, platforms such as Ondo Finance and Securitize are moving traditional instruments—treasuries, bonds, and private credit—onto blockchain infrastructure to enable faster settlement and broader market access.

Custody and security form another critical layer. BitGo, Fireblocks, and Anchorage Digital provide regulated custody and secure settlement services, enabling institutional participation by managing asset movement for banks and fintechs.

On the stablecoin and settlement front, networks led by Paxos, Circle, and Zero Hash function as liquidity engines for digital markets, bridging fiat banking systems and blockchain rails for near-instant, programmable global value transfer.

Compliance infrastructure—provided by Chainalysis and TRM Labs—delivers the monitoring and regulatory tooling institutions require to operate across jurisdictions as oversight tightens globally.

Convergencia hacia un stack financiero integrado

La formulación de Fortune para 2026 destaca la convergencia en todas las categorías de infraestructura. En lugar de productos cripto aislados, la industria está construyendo un stack interconectado que replica la arquitectura de las finanzas tradicionales: pagos, custodia, liquidación, cumplimiento y tokenización.

La inclusión de Ripple subraya su posicionamiento en la liquidación transfronteriza de nivel institucional. Entre los desarrollos recientes se encuentran su reconocimiento en la lista Disruptor 50 de CNBC y las iniciativas para ampliar la interoperabilidad del XRP Ledger en múltiples blockchains. Esta trayectoria refleja una mayor alineación con redes financieras del mundo real.

Web3 ya no se está definiendo como un sistema financiero alternativo, sino cada vez más como la capa de infraestructura subyacente para las finanzas globales.
