What is the biggest blockchain company?

Another emerging theme in the crypto industry is the performance of ethereum, the second most popular currency, as it passes 

Mastercard (NYSE: MA ), PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL ) and Block, Inc. (NYSE: SQ ) have gained mainstream recognition for their efforts. 

According to data from Chainalysis, total realized gains on Ethereum worldwide are $76.3 billion, compared to Bitcoin’s $74.7 billion. 

Some experts have previously predicted that Ethereum is a better long-term investment than Bitcoin.

The world's largest crypto company

1. Chainalysis

Chainalysis is a software company that provides blockchain data and analytics to governments, banks, and corporations around the world.

One of the company's main products is compliance, prescriptive and investigative software related to blockchain technology. 

The software can detect and prevent various illegal activities such as money laundering. This is a key competitive advantage for the company.

As hacking and related privacy concerns surrounding blockchain technology are clouding the future of the industry.

One statistic that highlights this competitive advantage is the number of clients Chainalysis serves. 

Chainalysis software is used by nearly 650 institutions including crypto exchanges, leading banks, payment processors, hedge funds and venture capital firms.

The company recently launched cross chain Investigations to Reactor, a tool to help clients track cryptocurrencies and related digital assets on the blockchain. 

Last June, the company raised more than $100 million in a Series C funding round, valuing it at more than $4 billion.

2. Uniswap


Uniswap is a cryptocurrency exchange embracing transparency at the center of the blockchain revolution. The exchange operates on a blockchain network running open-source software. 

This is in stark contrast to other crypto exchanges that run on centralized servers. More and more developers, traders and liquidity providers are using the platform's features. 

Each firm has generated over $935 billion in transaction volume and over 95 million transactions to date. By the end of 2021, the platform will have more than 3 million users.


Uniswap has the highest market share among decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges, accounting for nearly a quarter of all trades. It also has the highest daily trading volume of this group. 

On Uniswap, trades are executed on-chain, but there is no central authority to facilitate these trades. Instead, users are free to interact with other users through the secure system and 

Transact directly through their crypto wallets. These transactions are transparent and open source, reducing the possibility of money laundering.


3. Kraken


Kraken is a cryptocurrency exchange and bank. The company was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in California. The exchange is already operating in more than 60 countries around the world. 

Recently, the company also received a license to operate in the UAE. The Middle East is one of the fastest growing cryptocurrency markets. Chainalysis estimates that nearly 7% of global cryptocurrency transactions originate from the region. 

Kraken is the first company to offer direct trading of UAE Dirhams with Bitcoin. Around $25 billion worth of cryptocurrencies are traded in the UAE every year.


Kraken is the fourth largest exchange in the world in terms of trading volume. More than 6 million users trade crypto on the platform. These users are located in 190 countries. 

The company’s chief executive, Jesse Powell, has previously said the exchange could go public by the end of 2022. The company is valued at nearly $20 billion. 

The exchange has a daily trading volume in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Last January, at the height of the cryptocurrency boom, the exchange did $56 billion worth of trades, more than it did in all of 2019.

4.Sandbox


Sandbox is a metaverse platform. The platform started as a game that could be played on computers and mobile phones with a "play to earn" model. 

The blockchain-based Sandbox version allows users to create their own avatars, which can also be traded for access to different types of environments and games in the Metaverse. 

The platform is the largest in the crypto space with over 2 million users. These users can also conduct virtual real estate transactions within the metaworld.


In 2021, total land sales on Sandbox will exceed $350 million. Nearly 80% of this occurred in the last quarter of 2021. During this period, resale home sales increased by more than 1.600% year-on-year. 

The number of active buyers on the platform has grown in all four quarters of 2021, with a 37% increase between October and December. The median land price in the Sandbox was $1,308 at the end of the third quarter, but jumped to $11,364 by the end of the year.


6. OpenSea


OpenSea is a marketplace for non-fungible tokens. As of early 2022, the platform has more than 600,000 users. This is a huge increase compared to March 2020, when there were only 4,000 users on the platform. 

The monthly pageviews of the OpenSea website are even more impressive. By conservative estimates, the site receives more than 120 million visits per month. 

This puts it well ahead of the competition in the NFT market segment. In 2021, the company’s NFT sales on the Ethereum blockchain exceeded $365 million.


In 2020, OpenSea's revenue was only $525,000. This discrepancy highlights the incredible growth of NFTs in the crypto space. The marketplace charges a fee of 2.5 percent for every transaction on the platform. 

This is similar to what competitors such as Rarible charge. The company is estimated to be worth more than $13 billion. 

So far, the company has raised more than $427 million in nine funding rounds. Of this, $300 million will come from a Series C round in early 2022.
