Stablecoin Boom Elevates Crypto Ramp Companies as Prime M&A Targets
On- and off-ramp companies are emerging as attractive acquisition targets, fueled by the growing utility of stablecoins in payments. Juan Lopez, Managing Partner at VanEck Ventures, highlights their evolution from mere crypto exchange facilitators to full-fledged payment infrastructure providers.
Stablecoins have transformed these ramps into critical touchpoints for bridging traditional finance and blockchain systems. "They're no longer just on-ramps—they're becoming sexier payment providers built on novel infrastructure," Lopez observes. This shift reflects broader institutional recognition of crypto's role in modern finance.
