Ripple nomeada nas 15 melhores empresas de infraestrutura Web3 da Fortune em 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.

Convergência para uma pilha financeira integrada

A abordagem da Fortune para 2026 realça a convergência em todas as categorias de infraestruturas. Em vez de produtos cripto isolados, a indústria está a construir uma pilha interligada que espelha a arquitectura do sistema financeiro tradicional: pagamentos, custódia, liquidação, conformidade e tokenização.

A inclusão da Ripple destaca a sua posição no âmbito da liquidação transfronteiriça ao nível institucional. Entre os desenvolvimentos recentes estão o reconhecimento na lista Disruptor 50 da CNBC e iniciativas para expandir a interoperabilidade do XRP Ledger em várias cadeias de blocos. Esta trajectória reflecte um alinhamento crescente com redes financeiras do mundo real.

O Web3 já não está a ser definido como um sistema financeiro alternativo, mas cada vez mais como a camada de infra-estrutura subjacente à finança global.
