Late last year, CoinGecko hired an investment bank to advise it on a potential sale at a valuation around $500 million, CoinDesk reports.

What's the scoop?

  • Bankers Hired: CoinDesk says the firm has hired investment bank Moelis to advise on the sale, thought neither the bank nor the firm gave official comment to CoinDesk.
  • Comparing Competitors: CoinGecko competitor CoinMarketCap was acquired by Binance Binance in 2020 for up to $400M in stock, reports at the time said.
  • Crypto M&A Surge: Disclosed crypto sector deals reached $8.6B across 133 transactions in 2025, surpassing the combined total of the previous four years.
