CoinGecko, one of the leading cryptocurrency data and market analytics platforms headquartered in Singapore, is reportedly considering a potential sale of the business at a valuation of approximately $500 million, according to sources familiar with the matter.
As part of this process, CoinGecko has hired investment bank Moelis to act as its financial advisor. Two sources indicated that the company is targeting a valuation near the $500 million mark, while another source cautioned that it may be too early to finalize any figures, as the process only began toward the end of last year. CoinGecko has not responded to requests for comment, and Moelis declined to provide a statement.
Crypto M&A Activity Accelerates Across the Industry
The potential sale comes amid a significant acceleration in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity across the cryptocurrency sector. In 2025, the total value of announced crypto-related M&A deals reached approximately $8.6 billion, spanning a record 133 transactions, according to data from PitchBook. This figure exceeds the combined total of the previous four years.
Notable transactions over the past year include Coinbase’s $2.9 billion acquisition of Deribit and Kraken’s $1.5 billion purchase of NinjaTrader, alongside numerous smaller deals across payments, data services, infrastructure, and trading platforms.
This wave of consolidation reflects a strategic push by companies to scale operations, strengthen regulatory compliance capabilities, and secure strategic assets, particularly as regulatory clarity improves and institutional participation continues to grow.
Data Platforms Face Pressure From AI and Traffic Declines
At the same time, data and crypto media companies are facing growing challenges, including declining web traffic and increasing competition from AI-driven tools. According to Similarweb, CoinGecko’s monthly website visits fell to approximately 18.5 million in December 2025, down sharply from 43.5 million in 2024.
Rival platform CoinMarketCap has experienced a similar trend, with monthly visits dropping to around 64 million, compared to roughly 157 million in the prior year. These declines highlight broader shifts in how users access crypto market data, with AI-powered aggregators and alternative analytics platforms gaining traction.
CoinGecko’s Longstanding Role in the Crypto Ecosystem
Founded in 2014 by TM Lee and Bobby Ong, CoinGecko has played a central role in the cryptocurrency ecosystem for more than a decade, offering price tracking, market metrics, token analytics, and research tools used by retail traders, institutions, and developers alike.
While it remains unclear whether CoinGecko will proceed with a sale or pursue alternative strategic options, the reported move underscores the rapidly evolving dynamics of the crypto data and infrastructure landscape.
