- Record $8.6 billion M&A volume driven by Coinbase, Ripple, and Kraken.
- Coinbase acquires Deribit for $2.9 billion.

In 2025, cryptocurrency mergers and acquisitions reached a record $8.6 billion in the U.S., driven by a supportive governmental stance towards digital assets.
The U.S. government’s favorable policies and new regulations are expected to attract more traditional financial institutions to the crypto industry, prompting further market consolidation.
U.S. Crypto M&A Hits Unprecedented $8.6 Billion
The M&A volume in the cryptocurrency sector hit a record high of $8.6 billion in 2025. This surge was fueled by notable acquisitions made by companies like Coinbase, which acquired Deribit for $2.9 billion, the largest deal in the industry’s history.
Increased activity in the sector is attributed to U.S. government policies that favor digital assets. Over the past year, more traditional financial institutions have shown interest, driving further consolidation among cryptocurrency firms.
“Certainly quarter to quarter will fluctuate, but the fundamental strategic drivers of M&A are now quite clear. Participants will include existing crypto businesses and more importantly, traditional financial services organizations of all stripes — banks, traditional broker-dealers, and payment businesses.” — Eric Risley, Founder, Architect Partners
