According to CoinDesk, crypto data giant #CoinGecko is exploring a potential sale and has reportedly hired Moelis as advisor. Sources say talks began late last year, so valuation is still fluid—but ~$500M is on the table.
📉 Traffic to crypto data sites is falling as users turn to AI chatbots for information. CoinGecko’s monthly visits dropped from 43.5M (2024) to 18.5M (Dec 2025)—with #CoinMarketCap seeing similar trends.

CoinGecko, one of the leading cryptocurrency data and market analytics platforms headquartered in Singapore, is reportedly considering a potential sale of the business at a valuation of approximately $500 million, according to sources familiar with the matter.
As part of this process, CoinGecko has hired investment bank Moelis to act as its financial advisor. Two sources indicated that the company is targeting a valuation near the $500 million mark, while another source cautioned that it may be too early to finalize any figures, as the process only began toward the end of last year. CoinGecko has not responded to requests for comment, and Moelis declined to provide a statement.
Crypto M&A Activity Accelerates Across the Industry
The potential sale comes amid a significant acceleration in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity across the cryptocurrency sector. In 2025, the total value of announced crypto-related M&A deals reached approximately $8.6 billion, spanning a record 133 transactions, according to data from PitchBook. This figure exceeds the combined total of the previous four years.
Notable transactions over the past year include Coinbase’s $2.9 billion acquisition of Deribit and Kraken’s $1.5 billion purchase of NinjaTrader, alongside numerous smaller deals across payments, data services, infrastructure, and trading platforms.
This wave of consolidation reflects a strategic push by companies to scale operations, strengthen regulatory compliance capabilities, and secure strategic assets, particularly as regulatory clarity improves and institutional participation continues to grow.
Data Platforms Face Pressure From AI and Traffic Declines
At the same time, data and crypto media companies are facing growing challenges, including declining web traffic and increasing competition from AI-driven tools. According to Similarweb, CoinGecko’s monthly website visits fell to approximately 18.5 million in December 2025, down sharply from 43.5 million in 2024.
Rival platform CoinMarketCap has experienced a similar trend, with monthly visits dropping to around 64 million, compared to roughly 157 million in the prior year. These declines highlight broader shifts in how users access crypto market data, with AI-powered aggregators and alternative analytics platforms gaining traction.
CoinGecko’s Longstanding Role in the Crypto Ecosystem
Founded in 2014 by TM Lee and Bobby Ong, CoinGecko has played a central role in the cryptocurrency ecosystem for more than a decade, offering price tracking, market metrics, token analytics, and research tools used by retail traders, institutions, and developers alike.
While it remains unclear whether CoinGecko will proceed with a sale or pursue alternative strategic options, the reported move underscores the rapidly evolving dynamics of the crypto data and infrastructure landscape.

Les derniers rapports de CoinGecko, sont tombés, et les chiffres font froid dans le dos. L’année 2025 a été un véritable cimetière pour les altcoins.
​▪️📊 Le bilan du massacre (Janvier 2026) :
​❌️ 11,6 millions de tokens ont rendu l'âme en 2025 seulement.
​❌️ 86,7 % des échecs de toute l'histoire de la crypto ont eu lieu l'année dernière.
​Le point de rupture ? La "cascade de liquidations" du 10 octobre 2025 qui a balayé 19 milliards de dollars en 24h.
​▪️⚠️ Pourquoi une telle boucherie ?
C'est le revers de la médaille de la facilité. Avec des outils comme Pump.fun, créer un jeton est devenu trop simple. Résultat : on a vu passer le nombre de projets de 400 000 en 2021 à plus de 20 millions fin 2025.
​La plupart sont des "Tokens Zombies" : aucune utilité, aucune liquidité, et un abandon total des développeurs après quelques jours.
​💡 Mon conseil de Holder :
À l'heure où l'on crée un meme en 3 clics, la prudence est votre meilleure alliée.
​1️⃣ Fuyez le "Fast-Food" Crypto : Si un projet n'a pas de vision claire (comme le changement de paradigme de Cardano ou Midnight), il a 98% de chances de finir dans cette liste funèbre.
​2️⃣ Cherchez la solidité : En 2026, le marché se "normalise". Les institutions (Grayscale, BlackRock) ne touchent pas aux zombies. Elles cherchent des infrastructures.
​La leçon de 2025 est claire : Créer un token est facile, le faire survivre est un miracle. Ne soyez pas la liquidité de sortie d'un projet mort-né. 🛡️

据知情人士透露，全球知名加密货币数据平台 CoinGecko 正在考虑出售业务。据悉，出售筹备工作始于去年年底，目前处于早期阶段，目标估值高达 5 亿美元。
为什么是现在？
1️⃣ 并购潮再起： 2025 年加密行业并购（M&A）规模创下纪录，公开交易总额达 86 亿美元。Coinbase 和 Kraken 等巨头正在通过收购加速扩张。
2️⃣ AI 的冲击： 随着人工智能（AI）工具的普及，用户更倾向于通过聊天机器人直接获取行情，导致行情网站流量大幅下滑。CoinGecko 的月访问量已从 2024 年的 4350 万降至 2025 年 12 月的 1850 万。
3️⃣ 估值博弈： 如果交易以 5 亿美元达成，其身价将超越 2020 年 Binance 收购 CoinMarketCap 时约 4 亿美元的价格。
这对市场意味着什么？
长期以来，CoinGecko 一直以“独立性”作为核心竞争优势。如果这棵“常青树”最终被大机构收入囊中，加密市场或将彻底告别中立第三方数据时代。
你认为谁会是潜在的买家？🤔
