Bitwise CEO anticipates significant growth in crypto adoption, driven by a potential increase in merger and acquisition (M&A) activity under the Trump administration. This increase is expected to push more individuals toward decentralized digital assets as a response to rising corporate power concentration.
Recent years have seen stagnation in M&A activity, with only a slight increase in total announced deals to 1.4 trillion USD in 2024, remaining below pre-pandemic levels. Experts suggest that favorable economic conditions, including low interest rates and regulatory changes, could boost M&A activity soon.
2025 is expected to be pivotal, with MAJOR deals potentially leading to increased market consolidation as large corporations, like Amazon and Google, possibly acquire smaller firms. This growing corporate dominance might enhance crypto’s appeal as a decentralized alternative to traditional institutions, emphasizing the need for alternatives to centralized power.
