Glassnode Passes the Baton: Accointing Handed Over to Blockpit in ‘Multi-Million Dollar’ Deal

The State of Crypto Acquisitions in Four Charts Over $2 billion in acquisitions occurred in crypto in 2024, with $2.9 billion and counting this year. We analyzed the numbers and trends to understand how M&A in this space is evolving. Our latest newsletter dives deep into the data, strategies, and motivations behind this wave, and what founders can do to position themselves as acquisition targets. Here's the TL;DR version for those in a hurry. Venture funding for crypto has declined by 70% from its 2021 peak, with annual inflows dropping from $23B to $6B. The number of funding rounds has plummeted from 941 in Q1 2022 to just 182 in Q1 2025. This capital drought is forcing us to look at M&A for continued growth. Just like traditional markets, M&A in crypto has followed waves that have coincided with liquid markets. • Wave 1 (2017–2018): The ICO era • Wave 2 (2020–2022): Treasury-Fueled Acquisitions • Wave 3 (2024–2025+): The Compliance & Scalability Phase The data reveals a maturing market. While acquisition volume has decreased since 2022’s peak, average deal size increased from $25M in 2022 to $64M in 2025, showing a shift to fewer but larger, more strategic deals. Target categories have evolved meaningfully. Recent acquisitions concentrated on derivatives venues, broker rails, and stablecoin infrastructure, which absorbed over 75% of disclosed deal value since 2024. This reflects regulatory clarity emerging in these verticals. Cash-rich incumbents like Coinbase ($9B cash), Kraken ($454M operating profit), and Stripe ($2B FCF) are leading this wave, pursuing strategic acquisitions that provide regulatory footholds, talent, and technology integration. Here’s a breakdown of who is acquiring. In 2021–22, exchanges led the charge by acquiring infrastructure, wallets, and liquidity layers to defend market share. By 2023–24, the baton had passed to payment companies and financial tooling platforms, targeting downstream products like NFT rails, brokers, and structured product infrastructure. But with changing regulations and an underserved derivatives market, exchanges like Coinbase and Robinhood are making a comeback as acquirers, scooping up derivatives and brokerage infrastructure. We categorize crypto acquisitions into four broad, overlapping models: 1. Talent Acquisition — When deep technical talent is scarce and recruitment cycles are slow, acquisitions become a faster route to capability. Instead of hiring one-by-one, acquirers bundle proven, high-performing teams. Think Coinbase acquiring Agara to bring in AI engineering talent, or @0xPolygon acquiring Mir (now @0xPolygonZero) and Hermez to absorb leading ZK cryptographers. The logic is simple: shipping teams are more valuable than resumes. 2. Capability Expansion — Some acquisitions are designed to extend a firm’s product suite or move it into new domains. Jupiter’s acquisition of Drip Haus is a case in point—moving from DeFi into NFTs to tap into creator-led attention markets. These acquisitions add missing features or open up verticals that would take too long to build internally. 3. Infrastructure Distribution – These deals are about embedding core tooling deeper into the acquirer’s stack to harden defensibility. For example, ConsenSys acquiring MyCrypto enhanced MetaMask by bringing in a different UX approach and long-tail asset support. Rather than reinventing the wheel, incumbents fold external innovations into their existing infrastructure. 4. User Base Acquisitions – This is the most direct route to scale. OpenSea acquiring Gem wasn’t just about tech—it was about locking in high-value NFT traders. In environments where user growth is slow and expensive, acquiring established communities with strong engagement and spending power offers faster ROI than marketing or incentive campaigns. The funding environment today demands pragmatism. For founders, the pitch must now answer two questions: why should we raise and why might someone want to buy this? Venture capital is no longer flowing freely. The standout raises we hear about are exceptions, not indicators of a comeback. Most funds are focusing on products with traction, revenue, and provable value. That makes acquisition a serious alternative to another uncertain fundraising cycle. At the same time, acquirers are more strategic than ever. They’re using acquisitions to enter new markets, gain licenses, absorb users, or compress years of development into a single transaction. If what you’ve built simplifies compliance, unlocks distribution, or accelerates product-market fit, you're already on someone’s radar. This era of crypto will be defined by what lasts. And increasingly, what lasts is what gets acquired. Build like your future depends on someone wanting to own what you've made. Because it probably does.

Fidelity: Bitcoin May Surpass Gold to Become the Dominant Store of Value Asset

Three Emerging Cryptocurrencies That Ethereum Followers Should Pay Attention To

🤨🤨🤨 Solana @solana, Base @base ecosystem #AI Agent's popularity has waned, can BNB Chain @BNBCHAIN's ecosystem SIREN 🤖 take the baton? “SIREN gives me a feeling reminiscent of the early #AIXBT.” Recently, due to CZ @cz_binance's frequent statements, BNB Chain @BNBCHAINZH's ecosystem has experienced a surge in popularity, leading the "on-chain dog fighting" community to gradually shift the focus of token discussions from Solana ecosystem tokens to BNB Chain ecosystem tokens. Coincidentally, the official launched a “$4.40 million Meme liquidity support program” to support #BNB Chain's popular #Meme projects. Studying BNB Chain's ecosystem #Meme projects, the key projects are at the top of the list. Among the leading projects, we discovered the Meme project SIREN, which incorporates the AI Agent concept. Can SIREN reignite the heat of the AI Agent version once again? Next, Odaily Planet Daily will take you to understand the first phase weekly rankings of BNB Chain's Meme liquidity support program TIRE 2, the dual concept of Meme and AI Agent in SIREN, two “zero-cost” token activities, and secondary price analysis. ⬇️⬇️

🔵 U.S. Debt Guides Bitcoin's Future DeThings, January 30 - The scale of U.S. national debt has reached 36.40 trillion dollars, and the debt economic model is facing challenges. There is a contradiction between the internationalization of the U.S. dollar and the return of manufacturing, while the risks associated with commercial real estate debt are intensifying. Bitcoin, as a decentralized asset, may experience a decline in the short term due to the impact of a financial crisis, but in the long term, its scarcity and safe-haven attributes make it likely to become an important pillar for future international settlements. If the U.S. dollar system collapses, Bitcoin could take the baton and become the next generation of international currency. Read more: https://t.co/AKgOWcE8iC…

Bitcoin Investing Essentials, A Sneak Peek at This Week's Big Events (12/2-12/8) With Thanksgiving behind us and US power about to recover, ETFs are on track to break $100,000 by the end of the year if they maintain their inflow trend. This week has important data on non-farm payrolls and unemployment, while ETFs and crypto-related U.S. stocks deserve more attention. 🌟 Heavyweight events this week: 12/2 Monday 💼 Fed releases minutes of November monetary policy meeting (23:00) US November ISM Manufacturing PMI 12/4 Wednesday 💼 US November ADP Employment (21:15) 12/5 Thu 💼 Fed releases Brown Book on economic conditions (03:00) 💼 US Initial Jobless Claims for the Week (21:30) 12/6 Friday 💼 US Unemployment Rate for November (21:30) 💼 US Non-Farm Payrolls for November (21:30) 📌 Crypto Market Outlook: Bitcoin has been adjusting at $100,000 for many days, Ether has taken the baton and rallied sharply over the last week, with torrents rising across the board and Meme fading out. New highs in Ether are on the horizon, market inflows are strong, and the bulls are very strong in the spot bull market. The options market is more stable, with block trades and market rates of interest. Major term IVs are currently at low levels, laying out some mid to long term is good value for money, and it's a good opportunity to buy options now that the bull market is going strong. 📌 crypto interest rate market, the Bitfinex interest rate market has been relatively stable recently, encountering the right interest rate orders can be actively transacted, especially when there is a market worthy of special attention.

As the Pectra mainnet upgrade rolls out, the Ethereum ecosystem is accelerating its transformation. Lido Finance @LidoFinance has announced optimized Pectra staking, allowing 2,048 ETH node deployments. Tim Beiko @TimBeiko pointed out that the Pectra mainnet upgrade will enable large operators to consolidate validators, reducing bandwidth usage. Uniswap @arbitrum is testing a gasless trading interface. Arbitrum @arbitrum announced Pectra compatibility, reducing transaction costs to as low as $0.01. While the Pectra upgrade significantly reduces data storage costs for Layer2 solutions, on-chain transaction verification remains a critical bottleneck. Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK) offer tremendous potential here, significantly reducing proof generation time and on-chain storage requirements. What can ZEROBASE do? - Providing Lido Finance comprehensive distributed verification, reducing single-node failure risk, improving overall efficiency, and ensuring data reliability for large staking nodes. - Offering comprehensive ZK authentication, privacy protection, and smart contract auditing solutions for Uniswap to ensure transaction authenticity, protect user privacy, and reduce MEV risks, helping Uniswap achieve a truly decentralized trading experience. - Providing data integrity verification, batch verification optimization, and privacy protection solutions for Arbitrum, along with support for off-chain data storage validation, off-chain computation auditing, and MEV risk mitigation, enhancing Arbitrum’s transaction efficiency and boosting user and developer engagement.

Are Layer 2s 'extractive' for Ethereum? In a recent @Cointelegraph interview, @Coinmetrics researcher @TanayVed explained how the March 2024 Dencun upgrade reduced L2 data-posting costs—allowing rollups like Base to generate approximately $98 million in transaction fees while sending only $4.9 million back to Ethereum. That’s about $94 million of “extractive” profit leveraging mainnet security. Key takeaways: - Dencun’s effect: Blob transactions cut L2 posting costs by over 90%, greatly boosting rollup profitability - Base’s performance: approximately $98 million in fees versus $4.9 million paid to Ethereum, resulting in about $94 million net gain since Dencun - Upcoming fee capture: Pectra hard fork doubles blob capacity (from 3 to 6, up to 9 per block), enabling greater L2 fee pass-through - Ongoing debate: Should Ethereum impose a "tax" on L2s or prioritize market-driven fee discovery and long-term network growth? For a deeper dive, see our State of the Network report "The Evolving Relationship Between Ethereum and Its Layer 2s." Also, check out Tanay’s full insights in the Cointelegraph article.

Some interesting security insights in @reown_'s latest State of Onchain UX report. 😃 69% of survey participants feel “extremely” or “pretty” safe (vs 50% in 2024) 🙁 21% lost money to phishing & scams (vs 14% in 2024) 🤨 56% expect wallets & dApps to do more to protect users This tracks closely with Hypernative's own data. On the one hand, DeFi protocols are safer because projects are much more diligent about their audits, bounties, and real-time threat monitoring. On the other hand, our threat-monitoring platform is showing an increase in phishing, especially attacks targeted at centralized finance players in Web3. The good news is that the solution is already here. Hypernative has developed tools that can analyze every transaction in real-time, run a simulation that predicts the true outcome of every interaction, and determine whether it is safe before funds even leave your wallet. This approach works both for consumers and teams using MPCs and multisig wallets.

Decentralization in DeFi is often just a governance theater, the same few whales controlling every vote, making decisions based on their own financial interests.True decentralization requires removing human bias entirely. Our AI makes parameter adjustments based on transparent, objective data, not politics or whale economics. The protocol operates on verifiable rules that serve all users equally.This is what true decentralization looks like.
