⚡ FalconX: Pushing Forward with Crypto Company Acquisitions
posted 7 Oct 2024
FalconX is accelerating its efforts to expand through acquisitions. The company plans to focus on acquiring top-tier, smaller companies, with a primary interest in tokenization, institutional infrastructure, and data analytics.
Yarlagadda believes this trend will lead to a surge in acquisitions by 2025, where big companies will take over smaller competitors, frequently keeping management and development teams intact.
“Currently, we are actively exploring potential acquisitions and assessing the relevant sectors and key players within them,” Yarlagadda stated.
Acquisitions are not common in the crypto sector, as most startup founders prefer securing venture capital funding instead of selling to bigger companies.
