The Trump administration could revive M&A deals, which, in turn, could fuel crypto adoption, reinforcing the idea that decentralized systems are preferable to centralized institutions that don't protect individual interests, said Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Asset. Management.
M&A activity has been stuck in isolation for the past few years. According to the data from Dealogic, A total of $1.4 trillion in announced deals in 2024 is up slightly from 2023, but still below pre-pandemic levels.
Trump's return as president is expected to bring several key factors that could boost M&A activity, including a favorable economic environment, low interest rates, and changes in regulatory policies.
2025 is shaping up to be a tipping point where there will be a significant increase in both the number and size of deals.
“Big corporations — Mag 7, etc. — may eventually be able to use their market cap. Amazon may buy Instacart. Google may buy Uber,” Horsley said.
This trend may lead to a further consolidation of power and market share in the hands of a few giants, eliminating medium-sized companies that may struggle to compete with these large entities. According to Horsley, increased consolidation and the growing power of large institutions will drive crypto adoption.
“The premise of crypto is not to trust big institutions to do what's best for you. The big surge highlights this,” he added.
