The BeInCrypto Institutional 100 includes a “Best Multi-Asset Broker” category. This recognizes platforms that let users trade cryptocurrencies alongside traditional investments like stocks, foreign exchange, futures, and ETFs.
This area falls under our first key focus – connecting traditional retail investors to the world of cryptocurrency. We’ll be evaluating platforms – including multi-asset brokers and bank-backed brokerage services – that were actively operating between April 2025 and March 2026 to create a longer list of potential candidates for 2026.
The initial group of finalists will be announced in May 2026, and the winner will be revealed at Proof of Talk in Paris on June 2nd and 3rd, 2026.
- Longlist: 15 firms, covering Nasdaq- and LSE-listed multi-asset brokers, FINMA-supervised Swiss banks with integrated crypto exchanges, German banking-licensed pan-European platforms, US wealth managers entering spot crypto, and CFD-led FX brokers building dedicated spot venues.
- Candidates screened: Starting pool of 32 multi-asset brokers and bank-brokerage hybrids with live crypto offerings; 15 advanced to this longlist, with 5 additional firms held in the outreach pool.
- Scoring (Track B): 30% quantitative data · 50% Expert Council · 20% disclosed company data.
- Criteria assessed: Crypto coverage, execution quality, cross-asset integration, volume and adoption, regulatory standing, innovation, and industry standing.
- Sources: Regulator registers (FCA, FINMA, BaFin, ASIC, CFTC, MAS), audited filings, firm disclosures, partner integrations, and private-market platforms.

About This List
The BeInCrypto Institutional 100 – Multi-Asset Brokers (2026 Long List) highlights companies that are making it easier for investors to trade cryptocurrencies alongside traditional investments like stocks, bonds, and foreign exchange. These firms are integrating crypto into standard trading accounts, offering exposure to both digital and traditional assets.
This report examines a wide range of companies involved in crypto, including traditional brokers, platforms supported by Swiss and European banks, US wealth management firms, and companies offering crypto trading through Contracts for Difference. Companies that *only* deal in digital assets are assessed separately, categorized as either brokers, exchanges, or trading infrastructure providers.
Methodology
This section of the BeInCrypto Institutional 100 ranks multi-asset brokers based on a three-part scoring system. It considers quantitative data from our editorial team (30%), scores from our Expert Council (50%), and publicly available information (20%).
Our evaluation considers seven key areas: the range of cryptocurrencies offered, how smoothly trades are completed, how well different assets work together, trading volume and user base, legal compliance, new features, and the exchange’s overall reputation within the industry.
We confirmed the information using official records, public reports, company statements, and data from sources like PitchBook, Tracxn, and Crunchbase. All numbers represent the latest data available when this was published.
