CoinGecko Aims for $500M Sale Amid Crypto M&A Boom
Crypto data platform CoinGecko is exploring a potential sale at a valuation of around $500 million, according to sources. The Malaysia-based company has hired investment bank Moelis to advise on the process, which began late last year.
The move comes as crypto merger and acquisition activity reached unprecedented levels in 2025, with disclosed transactions totaling approximately $8.6 billion across 133 deals through November, surpassing the combined total of the previous four years, according to PitchBook data.
CoinGecko's potential sale would mark one of the most significant data platform exits in crypto infrastructure since Binance's deal with CoinMarketCap in April 2020 for a reported $400 million in cash and BNB tokens. Founded in 2014 by TM Lee and Bobby Ong, CoinGecko has established itself as a core resource for retail traders, institutional analysts, and developers seeking comprehensive market data.
