According to the Daily Planet, Reuters reported that Capital One, a U.S. consumer lender backed by Warren Buffett, plans to acquire credit card issuer Discover. LSEG data shows that Discover Financial has a market value of $27.6 billion, while Capital One is valued at $52.2 billion. The deal will create the largest credit card company in the United States by loan size, surpassing long-time rivals JPMorgan Chase and Citi. The acquisition may benefit crypto companies. Currently, Capital One helps its customers enter the cryptocurrency market, and account holders can safely transfer dollars to authorized and regulated cryptocurrency exchanges. Discover Financial has hired a new blockchain and digital currency product manager, which may promote the integration of crypto products or launch new products if the acquisition is successful.
