The report draws on a January 2025 survey conducted by EY-Parthenon, as well as insights from NRG and The Block Pro Research. Results indicate that six out of ten Fortune 500 firms are now developing or actively experimenting with blockchain-based initiatives. Notably, one in five executives considers blockchain a core pillar of their long-term strategy.
For comparison, in 2023, Coinbase found that 52% of Fortune 100 companies were exploring blockchain use cases to remain competitive. By 2024, this figure had climbed to 56% for the broader Fortune 500—underscoring a clear upward trend in enterprise adoption.
Among Fortune 500 companies that have yet to deploy blockchain, 46% say they plan to integrate the technology within the next three years. Furthermore, 80% of small and medium-sized business leaders believe blockchain solutions can address persistent pain points in areas like reporting and reconciliation.
The report also includes a survey of institutional investors: four out of five plan to increase their exposure to crypto assets in 2025. Regulatory clarity emerged as a recurring theme, with approximately 75% of respondents viewing it as the key catalyst for the next phase of market growth.
“It’s clear that unlocking the full potential of crypto still requires much greater regulatory certainty. That’s why passing legislation on market structure and stablecoins is so crucial to the future of crypto innovation in America,” the report concludes.
The publication comes as the U.S. Senate prepares for a possible vote on stablecoin legislation on June 11, 2025—a development widely seen as pivotal for industry regulation and market confidence.
