Data: Q3 merger and acquisition deal value in the cryptocurrency industry exceeds $10 billion, surging over 30 times compared to a year ago

ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, data from Architect Partners shows that the total value of mergers and acquisitions in the cryptocurrency industry exceeded $10 billion for the first time in the third quarter, a more than 30-fold increase compared to a year ago.

The article mentions the acquisition of 21shares by cryptocurrency market maker FalconX, stating that this deal highlights a broader trend: cryptocurrency experts are entering traditional investment channels through regulated products. Trump's policies and the resulting M&A frenzy have changed the strategic considerations for companies like 21shares. Regulatory barriers have eased, and Wall Street giants are increasingly venturing into the cryptocurrency space—this has forced existing companies to build competitive moats around themselves.
