I work for a BUZZWORD in APPLICATION company. Blockchain/Smart Contracts (though at least not cryptocurrency) in Process Automation. We have, indeed, an enormous client - just one, though. According to our CEO they are enthusiastically integrating it into their core activities... but I don't really trust that.

Also there's some interesting applications in imperfect trust and regulatory arbitrage which we are getting paid to handle, that non-blockchain things legitimately couldn't do. Which is why I'm not running away from the company at high speed.
