Blockchain technology and the email industry might look like opposite worlds, but technology has proven that that’s not really true. In the last couple of years, the email industry has been employing blockchain technology to enhance a few critical functions like security. Together, these two technologies are showcasing that communication and marketing can be more secure and efficient.
In 2025, email companies are increasingly running after blockchain technology and crypto technology. Now, keeping up with crypto prices is no longer something that only tech gurus do, since different types of investors are seeing the benefits that come with the tech. Actually, email companys like NitroMail, Gmass and Mailbird already accept crypto payments for services they render.
You can be sure that this trend will increase in popularity even as Binance emphasizes the fact that stablecoin projects are expected to become a primary focus this year. This is due to the increasingly favorable regulatory developments. Binance Research was quoted as saying, ” The CFTC’s push to evaluate tokenized collateral and stablecoins for derivatives markets highlights a clear regulatory shift toward embracing blockchain-based financial infrastructure. This move could unlock 24/7 liquidity, lower systemic risk, and pave the way for broader digital asset adoption.”
The growing acceptance of blockchain technology
Blockchain technology is becoming a serious backbone infrastructure for critical business functions. For instance, three Swiss banks recently executed binding payments on a public blockchain. The payment was done as a part of a feasibility study on the use of deposit tokens by UBS, Sygnum Bank and PostFinance. Thomas Frei, head of product innovation at Sygnum Bank stated that their tokenized deposits are usable across different banks, something that was not there before.
Now, the question of interest becomes, if banks are trusting blockchain for payments, what is stopping people from trusting them to anchor secure email communication? Some email companies have already integrated blockchain into their systems, improving their operations. For example, projects like Mailchain and EtherMail use blockchain-based systems to ensure that only verified wallet owners can send or receive messages. This has helped to reduce spam and improve user trust. But more on that below.
Heightening security using blockchain
One thing that has plagued the traditional email industry is the issue of security. According to data by Keepnet Labs, 35% of all ransomware attacks are started through phishing emails. In fact, the statistics revealed that in 2022, 92% of organizations had at least one business email compromised, while 93% experienced data leaks due to phishing. This just shows how big a deal security is in the email industry.
Now, as phishing and spoofing continue to go haywire, more businesses are pushing for cryptographic proof of email authenticity. This is also in line with the growth of the messaging security solutions market that is set for growth due to increased cyber threats. Yahoo Finance reported that this market is projected to grow at a CAGR or 11.9% between 2025 and 2032. And one security method that this industry could employ is the use of blockchain.
The integration of blockchain verification and sealing of emails might reduce the risk of insecurity caused by phishing and spoofing. For example, Binance Research was quoted as saying, “At Binance, we are committed to fostering a maturing crypto ecosystem where innovation, regulation, and security work hand in hand. Joining the T3+ initiative reflects our dedication to proactive collaboration with industry partners and law enforcement to combat illicit activity in real time.” An initiative like the T3+ was created to combat illegal activities that happen on blockchain networks. If an email company integrates its system with this type of initiative, they are able to fend off some of the issues that have been faced in the email industry, like phishing.
Offering a new layer of trust in digital communication
Traditionally, email protocols, e.g., SMTP, were not built with authentication or immutability in mind. Because of this, messages can be forged, altered or intercepted. However, blockchain comes as a superhero to counter this by offering a tamper-proof and verifiable foundation for email transactions.
One key selling point for blockchain is immutability. That is why Coinlaw reported that 60% of CIOs across various sectors all across the globe were thinking of integrating this technology into their digital infrastructure by the end of 2024. Once you store information in the blockchain, no one can alter any information, and it is transparent to everyone with access to the network.
When it comes to email, storing cryptographic proofs of emails (like hashes and timestamps) on blockchain allows for senders and recipients to independently verify that nothing has been doctored. Already this is being done by Mailstone and Archipels in France. In 2022, the two joined hands to launch the first Blockchain email solution which deals with certicifation. With the certification service, each email’s digital fingerprint is anchored to a blockchain ledger. This ensures authenticity and legal proof of delivery without having to replace traditional email systems.
Quantifying the impact of blockchain
The growing impact of blockchain on the communication industry is much larger than what people assume. In 2025, Demandsage states that over 560 million people all over the globe use blockchain based tools. Additionally, the statistics also state that almost 90% of all the businesses surveyed are either using blockchain in some capacity or are planning to deploy its use. Since email is a big part of the corporate world, the connection to blockchain is truly a breakthrough.
But now, the business world is yet to see what the partnership between these two seemingly different worlds is going to achieve. From securing message authenticity to combating phishing, blockchain technology is redefining how businesses approach their communication services. Ultimately, this partnership signals the beginning of a new era. An era where communication is not just instant but also incorruptible.
