Crypto M&A Surges Past $12.9 Billion in 2025, Driven by US Policies

The cryptocurrency sector experienced a record-breaking surge in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) during 2025, surpassing $12.9 billion in value. This unprecedented growth is fueled by favorable U.S. policies that have bolstered institutional confidence, leading to substantial deals involving prominent firms like Coinbase and Kraken. PitchBook data reveals this significant surge, exceeding the combined total of the previous four years. 2025 saw major cryptocurrency companies driving a high M&A activity thanks to reduced interest rates and clearer regulatory environments.
