Wave of Mergers and Acquisitions Predicted in Crowded Crypto Market

Too many crypto tokens and projects exist relative to adoption and utility, predicting a wave of mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

M&A could help consolidate crowded sectors like DeFi, NFTs, and memecoins, creating synergies.

However, M&A is harder in crypto due to decentralized governance and unclear incentives to merge tokens.

Regulation could accelerate M&A if it provides more clarity, or decentralized nature of crypto could enable more deals pre-regulation.

Fragmented sectors like layer 1 chains, DEXs, DeFi, and NFTs could see consolidation, even memecoin mergers creating tokens like "ShibaPepes."
