The data platform CoinGecko is planning a sale. It is reported that the company has engaged investment bank Moelis to facilitate the transaction process, currently seeking a valuation of approximately $500 million. The specific figures are still under negotiation, with the process initiated around the end of last year.

From a broader market perspective, M&A activity in the crypto industry is very active in 2025. Recent statistics show that disclosed M&A transaction volume in the industry has reached about $8.6 billion, with 133 deals, setting a record. CoinGecko's sale progress just reflects the current capital enthusiasm for integration and布局 in the crypto sector.

$8.6 billion M&A deal... The unicorns in this garden are finally starting to move. CoinGecko selling for $500 million indicates that the data track is still quite valuable. --- $500 million for CoinGecko, I wonder if the price can still be negotiated... It was initiated at the end of last year, and there’s still no news? --- 133 transactions set a new record, is this capital wildly picking flowers or are they really optimistic about the future? The feeling that big fish are eating small fish is becoming stronger. --- CoinGecko has been sold, so will the market data be "adjusted" as well... I’m a bit worried. --- $8.6 billion in M&A deals, it feels like the entire crypto ecosystem is being reshuffled. This is the real big reshuffle.

Is the bottom-fishing opportunity here? CoinGecko's $500 million valuation still feels a bit high --- 86 billion in M&A volume, this wave of big capital is really fierce, retail investors should band together for safety --- Started at the end of last year? Only now releasing the news, there's a big gap in insider information --- Whether CoinGecko's sale is good or bad is still uncertain, the key depends on how the new owner will operate --- I just want to know who the new buyer is, that will determine the next movement of the coin price --- 133 mergers and acquisitions, has the crypto industry really entered a period of consolidation, or are there still many opportunities? --- The $500 million valuation feels underestimated, just look at CoinGecko's user base --- It's another capital game, retail investors should just watch the excitement --- Could this wave of M&A be a prelude to another round of cutting leeks? --- Wait, Moelis is handling such a big deal, there must be some hidden tricks in the details

500 million dollars to sell CoinGecko? That's a bit low. This data platform has such a large user base, indicating that the market is indeed reshuffling. --- 8.6 billion M&A deal... Crazy. Is capital疯狂抄底 or do they really believe in the future? --- CoinGecko is about to be acquired. In the future, checking prices might depend on who you know, which is a bit uncomfortable. --- Wait, it started at the end of last year? Why is it just coming out now? Internal news is flying everywhere. --- 133 M&A transactions. How many projects have been drained? Haha. --- Valuation at 500 million USD... Feels undervalued. But who is buying? Any rumors? --- The industry is consolidating. Basically, big fish eat small fish, and retail investors continue to get cut.

$500 million valuation? Feels undervalued, CoinGecko's traffic... --- $8.6 billion M&A volume, is this data real? Seems a bit inflated. --- Another big shot is cashing out. Who's the next to take over? --- 2025 is really competitive, even data platforms are consolidating. --- Moelis has stepped in, indicating this deal is indeed promising. --- Always hearing about mergers and acquisitions, when will retail investors get their turn to take off... --- $500 million still in negotiations? This valuation seems quite inflated. --- The crypto market is booming, and M&A activity is following suit, just the old tricks.
