Turnkey today announced that it has been named “Cryptocurrency Wallet of the Year” in the 2026 Fintech Breakthrough Awards, recognizing the most innovative companies and technologies across the global financial services industry.
In 2023, Turnkey started with a simple but ambitious goal: to create an open infrastructure layer for crypto, one that developers could build on directly rather than reinventing themselves. From the beginning, that meant providing developer-friendly embedded wallets and onchain automation, designed to give builders the freedom to create the products they want while maintaining strong security guarantees and the ability to scale. Today, we’re honored to work with many of the world’s fastest-growing fintech and crypto companies, which are using Turnkey to create millions of secure, non-custodial wallets.
Why Fintech Breakthrough Awards chose Turnkey
The Fintech Breakthrough Awards awarded Turnkey “Cryptocurrency Wallet of the Year” for a number of notable accomplishments, including:
- Announcing major customers and partnerships, such as Flutterwave, World App, Axiom, Moonshot, Polymarket, and many more.
- Launching new product capabilities, like Transaction Management with Gas Sponsorship, the world’s first verifiable wallets, fiat onramps with Coinbase and MoonPay, a TRON policy engine, and Turnkey Verifiable Cloud. More recently, Turnkey packaged new solutions like Agentic Wallets, Payment Orchestration, a new standard for Smart Contract Management. Together, these launches reflect Turnkey’s continued commitment to advancing secure, flexible, and scalable wallet infrastructure for crypto and fintech applications.
- Powering AI transactions for a range of companies working on agentic trading. Catena Labs (AI-native financial institution), Spectral Labs (autonomous onchain agents with programmable guardrails), and Parallel Studios (LLM-driven gaming agents performing multi-step blockchain transactions) are leveraging Turnkey’s crypto wallet infrastructure for secure, policy-scoped agentic systems.
- Raising $30 million in Series B funding, led by Bain Capital Crypto with support from top tier investors like Sequoia Capital, Lightspeed Faction, Galaxy Ventures, Wintermute Ventures, and Variant.
This year, the Fintech Breakthrough Awards received more than 4,500 nominations globally. Some of the 2026 winners from other categories include Mastercard, Alpaca, NerdWallet, Nexo, Intuit, Betterment, Webull, MX, Varo, Ladder, Gusto, FIS, Citizens Bank, Hopper, Xero, Payoneer, Fiserv, LendingClub, Capital One, and an impressive list of top companies and startups in the larger financial services industry.
