Episode Synopsis

Show description: Crypto mergers and acquisitions reached new record highs in October 2025, completing 21 publicly disclosed deals. Coinbase acquired Echo for $375 million. Kraken purchased Small Exchange for $100 million. Modern Treasury secured Beam for $40 million. By the end of October, 144 deals completed in 2025, establishing a new annual record and doubling the previous year's pace. Increased institutional participation and acquirers securing technology and licenses for 2026 roadmaps drove deal activity. Disclosed deal value in the third quarter of 2025 topped $10 billion, marking a thirty-fold increase from Q3 2024. The market now emphasizes distribution, liquidity, and compliant infrastructure. Larger platforms build full-stack services, raising industry standards for service quality and risk controls. This consolidation trend continues, with regulated distribution and resilient infrastructure providing decisive advantages. Source: https://theweb3.news/crypto/crypto-ma-record-oct-2025/ Hosted on Acast.
