In what it’s calling an industry first, Fortune released the “Fortune Crypto 40” on April 10. This analysis-based list highlights five cryptocurrency companies in each of eight categories and relies on a combination of analysis and executive polling to determine the winners.
Per an article announcing the index, Fortune claims the Crypto 40 is a “definitive list of the most important crypto companies.” An accompanying link describing the methodology goes on to state that the Crypto 40 was designed to highlight the organizations and their technology — as opposed to the popularity of the individuals and teams driving them.
