Crypto data platform CoinGecko is reportedly exploring a sale, aiming for a valuation of approximately $500 million. The company has engaged investment bank Moelis to oversee the process, according to sources cited by CoinDesk. This development occurs as mergers and acquisitions in the crypto sector have surged, with $8.6 billion in disclosed deals and a record 133 transactions by 2025. Founded in 2014, CoinGecko has established itself as a leading data platform in the cryptocurrency space, comparable to CoinMarketCap. The potential sale reflects the growing consolidation trend within the industry as companies seek to capitalize on increasing market activity.
