Blockchain. com provides a crypto wallet that allows individuals and institutional investors alike to buy, sell and store cryptocurrencies safely. Founded in 2011, the company has always been at the vanguard of digital assets: on top of its crypto wallet, it has also previously launched a‘ Blockchain Explorer’ that allows anyone to examine transactions on the blockchain, as well as an API that let companies build on bitcoin. The company was founded by Peter Smith and Nic Carey, and in the 12 intervening years since launch has facilitated the creation of 87m wallets, transacted over US $ 1tn in volume, and verified 37m users in more than 200 countries. Today, a third of Bitcoin network transactions are through Blockchain. com.

Rapyd sees itself as a liberator of global commerce. Using Rapyd’ s platform, partner companies can accept and send payments anywhere – faster, cheaper, and easier. And according to Rapyd, its clients see an average 196 % return on investment and spend 70 % less time managing payments. The company says it launched its Global Payments Network and Fintech Platform to provide a full stack of integrated payments, commerce, and other financial capabilities that can be embedded into any application. It was then, after building these solutions, that Rapyd says it was able to scale its operations globally, helping the rest of the fintech community partner with its global payments infrastructure in a move it hopes will liberate commerce globally.
