This repeated in 2021 with a sharp increase in SPACs and private equity deals. Unsurprisingly, this opportunistic activity has dropped off sharply with the recent downturn. While Financial M&A has died once again, Strategic M&A is on pace to match or even surpass 2021.

OpenSea acquired Decentralized Finance startup Dharma Labs in early 2022. OpenSea’s trajectory is similar to what Coinbase went through in the 2017/18 cycle: It’s the clear incumbent in a crypto sector, has a decent warchest and this is likely to translate into an M&A strategy over the coming two years./p>div classwp-block-image>figure classaligncenter size-large is-resized>img loadinglazy decodingasync classalignnone wp-image-842 srchttps://research.tokendata.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/NFTs.png alt width600 height355 srcsethttps://research.tokendata.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/NFTs.png 911w, https://research.tokendata.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/NFTs-300x177.png 300w, https://research.tokendata.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/NFTs-768x454.png 768w sizes(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px />/figure>p> /p>h3 classhas-text-align-left>Full Report/h3>p>Download the full report to get a data-driven overview of all Crypto M&A, including additional topics such as:/p>ol classol1>li classli1>span classs1>b>Decentralized M&A:/b>/span> Protocol and decentralized applications are merging at rapid pace./li>li classli1>span classs1>b>Regulatory Impact on M&A:/b>/span> We are seeing a significant increase in regulatory driven M&A right now, as agencies across the world are making significant strides./li>li classli2>span classs1>b>Forecasts:/b>/span>b> /b>Crypto M&A will accelerate into 2023./li>/ol>style typetext/css> #dae-shortcode834-download-wrapper { background: url() !important;

As a result, the profits used for the buyback should – theoretically speaking – be fully captured by token holders. In the words of a href#>Vitalik/a> – the token’s value is “backed by the future expected value of upcoming fees spent inside the system”./p>p>Or, put simply: strong>the tokens are similar to “traditional” equity/strong> because the buybacks ensure that token holders receive (part) of the profits created by the project – just like dividends paid to shareholders**./p>h3>Buybacks to Correct Token Allocation/h3>p>One of the biggest challenges of cryptocurrency projects and ICOs is the initial token allocation. Many projects reserve a fixed amount of tokens to incentivize future partnerships, developers etc. A potential outcome of this “one shot allocation” challenge is that there aren’t enough tokens to hand out a few months/years down the line./p>p>That’s why a handful of projects have started buying back tokens in the secondary market to mitigate this issue.
