Talos Makes Power Move: Acquires Coin Metrics as Crypto M&A Frenzy Hits New Highs
Crypto's institutional infrastructure just got a major upgrade—and Wall Street's playing catch-up.
Talos—the institutional trading platform that's become the backbone of crypto's big-money deals—just snapped up blockchain analytics firm Coin Metrics. Terms weren't disclosed (naturally), but insiders confirm it's part of a land grab as traditional finance scrambles for crypto expertise.
The deal drops during a record-breaking quarter for crypto M&A. Apparently banks finally realized blockchain firms have actual revenue streams—who knew?
This isn't just another acquisition. Talos gets Coin Metrics' treasure trove of on-chain data, tightening its grip on the institutional crypto stack. Meanwhile, legacy finance keeps overpaying for 'web3 consultants.'
One thing's clear: When the next bull run hits, the winners won't be the speculators—they'll be the platforms arming institutions with real infrastructure. Better late than never, Wall Street.
