10. Dragonfly partner Rob Hadick states that cryptocurrency mergers and acquisitions will be more active in 2025.

Dragonfly general partner Rob Hadick stated, "2025 will definitely be a year of more active cryptocurrency mergers and acquisitions, but the deal between Stripe and Bridge (which saw payment company Stripe acquire stablecoin platform Bridge for $1.1 billion this October) is unique and unlikely to be replicated." Hadick expects that large merger deals in the stablecoin/payment sector will decrease, with many payment service providers opting to build their own platforms or form partnerships rather than pursue acquisitions. However, he anticipates at least one unicorn-sized deal in this sector in 2025. Key industries for consolidation include trading platforms, brokerage firms, mining companies, and data providers. Many large companies in these categories have been looking for potential targets that may be interested in being acquired, but so far, few companies have seriously pushed for consolidation and paid the price for this privilege. -Original
