7.1 Investments CoinGecko is exploring a sale at a $500 million valuation, with Moelis advising. Talks began in late 2024 amid record crypto M&A activity. The process is ongoing, with no final deal confirmed.
CoinGecko is reportedly exploring a potential sale that could value the company at around $500 million, with investment bank Moelis advising on the process. Discussions began in late 2024 and remain ongoing, with no final valuation confirmed. The move comes amid record-setting merger and acquisition activity in the crypto sector, with 2025 seeing approximately $8.6 billion in deals across 133 transactions, surpassing the combined total of the previous four years. CoinGecko, founded in 2014, has grown into a leading cryptocurrency data aggregator, tracking thousands of digital assets and offering analytics, NFT data, DeFi metrics, and portfolio tools. The potential sale is seen as a significant benchmark for the crypto data industry, drawing comparisons to Binance’s 2020 acquisition of CoinMarketCap. Both CoinGecko and Moelis have declined to comment on the ongoing talks, which are still in early stages and may not result in a finalized deal.
