PANews January 1 news, according to The Block, Galaxy Ventures predicts that with fintech, banking, and technology companies returning to the crypto space, M&A activity in crypto will surge in 2025. Galaxy Ventures General Partner Will Nuelle stated that stablecoins and payments have actually impacted real fintech businesses, so M&A is expected to primarily occur there, while areas like equity staking, DeFi, and CeFi will still run parallel to fintech/banking rather than intersecting. Additionally, Will Nuelle also anticipates that as regulatory transparency in the U.S. improves, IPO activity will resume, creating more opportunities for cryptocurrency companies to enter the public market.
