Crypto M&A Accelerates in 2025 | Institutional Interest & Regulatory Environment Fuel Crypto Consolidation

The recent surge in crypto-related mergers and acquisitions—exemplified by Twenty One Capital’s $3.6 billion SPAC merger, Ripple’s $1.25 billion acquisition of Hidden Road, and Kraken’s $1.5 billion purchase of NinjaTrader—highlights a strategic consolidation push across the sector and reflects the broader trend of growing institutional interest and deeper integration between traditional finance and the crypto industry.
