Big U.S. Companies Are Quietly Embracing Blockchain and Crypto in 2025
More and more of America’s biggest companies are stepping into the world of blockchain and crypto. A recent survey shows that about 60% of Fortune 500 companies are now working on blockchain-related projects. That’s a small but steady rise from last year, and it signals that the technology is starting to go mainstream.
The survey, shared by Coinbase and GLG Research, highlights how businesses are exploring blockchain for practical uses. These include faster payments, better supply chain tracking, and building stronger digital infrastructure.
What’s fueling this shift? A big reason is the changing political mood in the U.S. Former President Donald Trump has voiced strong support for crypto and has pushed for clearer rules around it. This has encouraged many companies that were once unsure to take a second look at blockchain and stablecoins.
And it’s not just talk, crypto companies are making real moves. Circle, the firm behind the popular stablecoin USDC (which is linked to the U.S. dollar), recently went public with an eye-popping $8 billion valuation. Other names like Gemini and Kraken are also planning to go public soon.
Even traditional financial giants are getting involved. In the first half of this year, major firms like Fidelity, Visa, and Stripe started experimenting with stablecoins in real-world business use.
The trend isn’t limited to finance either. Big tech is paying attention. Google, Airbnb, and X (formerly Twitter) are all exploring ways to bring stablecoins into their systems. Meanwhile, Meta-- yes, Mark Zuckerberg’s company,is back in crypto talks after previous failed attempts. They’re now looking at stablecoins for things like employee payments.
It is clear that blockchain and crypto are not just buzzwords anymore. They are becoming tools that major companies want to use, and sooner than many people expected.
