Dragonfly： 2025 will definitely become a more active year for cryptocurrency mergers and acquisitions

On January 1st, according to The Block, Rob Hadick, general partner of Dragonfly, said, "2025 will definitely be a more active year for cryptocurrency mergers and acquisitions, but the transaction between Stripe and Bridge (payment company Stripe acquired stablecoin platform Bridge for $1.1 billion in October this year) is unique and unlikely to be replicated Hadick expects a decrease in large-scale mergers and acquisitions in the stablecoin/payment field, with many payment service providers establishing their own platforms or partnerships rather than making acquisitions. However, he expects at least one unicorn scale transaction to occur in this field by 2025. Trading platforms, brokerage firms, mining companies, and data providers are key industries for integration. Many large companies in these categories have been searching for potential targets that may be interested in being acquired, but so far, few have truly taken the integration seriously and paid the price for this privilege.
