Coinbase’s acquisition of Liquifi is the latest in a wave of mergers and acquisitions in crypto. This year, Coinbase acquired Spindl, a crypto-based advertisement company, as well as the team behind Iron Fish, a privacy-focused blockchain. And in May, Coinbase announced the blockbuster acquisition of the crypto derivatives company Deribit for $2.9 billion. It’s the biggest purchase of a crypto company in the industry’s 16-year history.
