The BeInCrypto Institutional 100 — Multi-Asset Brokers (2026 Long List) identifies brokers and bank-brokerage platforms bringing crypto into wider trading accounts. These firms offer crypto exposure alongside traditional assets, including equities, FX, ETFs, futures, bonds, and CFDs.
The long list covers brokers, Swiss- and European-bank-backed platforms, US wealth managers, and CFD-led operators building spot crypto venues or integrated crypto access. Firms focused only on digital asset trading are evaluated separately under dedicated broker, exchange, and trading infrastructure categories.
