“Can Blockchain.com become the financial infrastructure layer for crypto — owning wallets, exchange, lending, and B2B on-ramp/off-ramp for 94M+ KYC'd users?”
Founded in 2011 as a Bitcoin block explorer and non-custodial wallet provider, Blockchain.com evolved into a full-service crypto exchange and custodian serving tens of millions of users globally. The company expanded from wallet infrastructure into exchange, lending (crypto-backed loans), and B2B payments infrastructure (Blockchain.com Pay), positioning itself as an embedded crypto finance platform. Regulatory pressure in Canada (2024) led to the suspension of custodial services there, reflecting ongoing jurisdictional complexity in the crypto sector.
