Sub-sector
Crypto / Stablecoin

Signals institutional money entering crypto platforms and validates the $20B valuation anchor for crypto infrastructure. However, Crypto.com is already a large, established player (>$250M), so limited direct comparability for sub-$250M fintech founders unless they're building complementary crypto infrastructure.
