Categories
7 categories describing what a company is, where use cases describe what you want done. A company can sit in several — Bridge is an on/off-ramp, a payouts provider and a treasury tool — and is ranked independently in each. That is why the category counts below add up to more than the number of companies.
Fiat infrastructure
Where fiat meets the chain, and the rails on either side.
Asset infrastructure
Issuing, holding and securing the assets themselves.
Custodial and non-custodial wallets supporting stablecoin storage, transfers, and everyday payments.
Issuers minting and redeeming regulated stablecoins backed by reserves and transparent attestations.
Layer-1 and Layer-2 networks where stablecoins are issued, settled, and integrated at scale.
Business & treasury
What finance teams use once the rails are in place.
Commerce & compliance
Taking payment, issuing spend, and staying legal.
Why one company appears in several categories
7 categories hold 357 memberships across 334 distinct companies — an average of 1.1 each. That is why the counts below add to more than the directory size, and it is deliberate: a company that runs a ramp, a payout rail and a treasury product is genuinely three things and is ranked independently in each.
The practical consequence is that category rank is only meaningful within a category. Bridge is first in On/Off-Ramp and fourth in Treasury on the same filed record, because the two categories weight different capabilities. Read the category you are buying for, not the company's best rank.

Categories, answered
From buyer questions about classification. Marked up as FAQPage.
Companies quote their best category rank and buyers read it as a general ranking. Bridge is first in On/Off-Ramp and fourth in Treasury on the same filed record, because the two categories weight different capabilities. The rank that matters is the one in the category you are actually buying for, which is usually not the one in the pitch deck.
