CoinGecko Explores $500 Million Sale, Engages Moelis — Sources

Published at 2026-01-13 15:00:11

CoinGecko has engaged investment bank Moelis as it explores a potential sale that sources say could top $500 million. The discussions are preliminary and involve undisclosed parties, but the reported process signals renewed investor appetite for infrastructure and analytics businesses that support trading and compliance across crypto markets.

The development matters because consolidation and strategic acquisitions have picked up in crypto, shifting value toward firms that provide reliable on-chain and market data. A deal at this scale would underscore strong demand for trusted intelligence as exchanges, institutions, and regulators deepen their market activity. For users and partners, an ownership change could mean new resources and product investment, while buyers would gain a high-profile foothold in crypto analytics.
