Key points

  • Publicly traded companies held 16% of blockchain revenue in 2026, up from 7% in 2022, per 1kx.
  • Coinbase and Circle together generated about $3.3bn in blockchain-related revenue in the first half of 2026.
  • Revenue from tokenised assets, payments and prediction markets reached about $5.3bn in the third quarter, ahead of infrastructure's $5.1bn.

Publicly traded companies now take a much larger slice of blockchain revenue, according to a 1kx report covered by Cointelegraph. The crypto investment firm puts their share at 16% in 2026, more than double the 7% recorded in 2022. The shift comes as total blockchain revenue is projected to fall 28% year on year to roughly $100bn in 2026.

The study drew on data from more than 2,600 protocols and the earnings reports of 104 listed companies through the third quarter. 1kx credits new stock market listings, including stablecoin issuer Circle's 2025 flotation, and revenue growth at established firms. The ten largest public companies in the sample doubled their blockchain-related revenue over three years.

Coinbase and Circle brought in about $3.3bn combined in the first half of 2026, while listed Bitcoin miners earned roughly $2bn. Traditional finance names such as JPMorgan, BlackRock, CME Group, Visa and Robinhood added $1.1bn between them. Revenue stays concentrated: the six biggest listed firms account for roughly 50% to 60% of the group's total.
