The report states, “America’s top public companies are actively exploring blockchain. The number of blockchain projects announced by Fortune 100 companies has risen by 39% year-over-year, reaching a new high in Q1 of 2024. A survey of Fortune 500 executives shows that 56% of them confirm that their companies are engaged in blockchain projects.
From well-established brands to small businesses, from stablecoins to tokenized T-bills, various financial institutions are embracing blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies to drive innovation and facilitate widespread adoption.”
Furthermore, Coinbase discloses that 70% of Fortune 500 executives are keen on learning about stablecoins, while 86% recognize the potential advantages of asset tokenization for their organizations. Approximately 35% of them are in the process of developing tokenization strategies.
