UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres, revealed last year only that it's vital for the UN to accept Blockchain Technology.
<blockquote>"Blockchain started as a way to move bitcoin from point A to point B but it is now being used by a host of big companies to monitor and move any number of assets around the world as easily as sending an email. To qualify, Blockchain 50 members must be generating no less than $1 billion in revenue annually or be valued at $1 billion or more."</blockquote>
Along with releasing the list, March 2020 has been decided as the date by Forbes to honour the newest names on the list. Plaid, which was acquired by Visa for $5.3 million, along with Axoni, Chainalysis, Coinbase, Everledger, MakerDao and Ripple made the Fintech 50 list a while ago. The list included firms which contributed to the blockchain in the most innovative way.
