About This List

The BeInCrypto Institutional 100 — Best Digital Asset Product (2026 Long List) identifies named institutional products giving investors access to digital assets. The category covers spot ETFs, ETPs, tokenized money market funds, tokenized treasuries, tokenized private credit and equity funds, tokenized securities, and regional product stacks.

Unlike asset manager categories, this list focuses on the product itself. A firm may appear because of one specific ETF, tokenized fund, treasury product, or integrated product suite that meets the long-list threshold.

Methodology

This category is evaluated under Track A of the BeInCrypto Institutional 100 methodology: 50% quantitative data and 50% Expert Council scoring.

Assessment spans AUM and cumulative net flows, product structure, regulatory licensure, jurisdictional footprint, on-chain reach for tokenized products, fee structure, distribution channels, institutional holder concentration, and innovation signal.

Data was verified using SEC EDGAR, ETF flow trackers, SFC, VARA, FCA, FINMA, BaFin, MAS, MiCA-CASP registers, audited reports, Moody’s tokenized product ratings, S&P Global Ratings tokenized fund ratings, KBRA/Kroll, PitchBook, Tracxn, and Crunchbase.
