30% of LinkedIn’s 2018 Top Startups Are Crypto Companies

LinkedIn’s Top Startups List names the 50 most sought-after startups in the US in 2018, according to the company’s data. Three crypto companies landed spots in the top 10: Coinbase, Robinhood and Ripple.

LinkedIn created the list after compiling billions of actions generated by its 575 million members and analyzing four pillars – employee growth, jobseeker interest, member engagement with the candidate company and its employees, and the level of startup engagement with the companies on the LinkedIn Top Companies list.

At number three on the list, cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase is the most popular crypto company, followed by trading app and financial services company Robinhood at number six, and cross-border payments and tech company Ripple at number seven.

Ridesharing underdog Lyft grabbed the number one spot.

Also ranking in the top 10 are two startups that support artificial intelligence and blockchain-based enterprises: computer software startups Noodle.ai and Rubrik.

Among the blockchain-related startups on the list are Gemini, ConsenSys and Axioni.
