Crypto staking company, Figment, claims it is on the hunt for acquisition targets in the blockchain and crypto sector. It is currently eyeing $100 million to $200 million deals as crypto mergers spike. According to a recent Bloomberg report, the crypto staking firm is targeting crypto-focused projects that hold a strong regional presence, preferably in Asia or South America. Additionally, the company is also interested in projects that have managed to establish a “dominant” position in major blockchain such as Cosmos (ATOM) or Solana (SOL). At the moment, the company’s acquisition budget ranges somewhere between $100 million and $200 million. The Canada-based company currently has around 150 employees and oversees staked crypto assets valued at approximately $15 billion. In the near future, it hopes to expand its business operations in the U.S. once regulators decide to open the staking market to Ethereum ETFs. Figment Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Lorien Gabel said the company currently has no plans to raise its funding and is not looking to be bought by a larger firm. Instead, it is setting its sights on acquiring smaller players in the industry. “We have term sheets out and we’re actively looking to acquire smaller providers,” said Gabel in his statement.

安东尼·斯卡拉穆奇表示，比特币跌破 10 万美元反映了其多年前的交易水平 SkyBridge Capital 创始人兼执行合伙人在周一 CNBC 的“Squawk Box”节目中表示，比特币（BTC）的价格约为 98,000 美元，“这是 2022 年应该达到的价格”。他指出，2024 年 1 月对比特币现货交易所交易基金的批准应该在 2022 年第一季度进行。 他认为，这种延迟“造成了巨大的价格损失”，导致比特币在 2022 年的大部分时间里持续走弱。直到 2024 年 3 月，比特币才再次突破 60,000 美元。 然而，斯卡拉穆奇认为，今天的加密市场受益于特朗普白宫实施的“吉祥、得体、中庸的监管”。 弥补失去的时间？ 斯卡拉穆奇指出了几个可能有助于比特币收复失地的短期催化剂。他强调了大学捐赠基金对比特币的兴趣日益浓厚，其中包括埃默里大学 (Emory University)，该大学在 2024 年底披露了对 Grayscale 比特币 ETF 的持股，而奥斯汀大学 (University of Austin) 正在考虑推出一只比特币投资基金。 此外，斯卡拉穆奇表示，美国的比特币战略储备基金“可能会在小规模内出现”。与普遍看法相反，他指出，美国战略储备持有近 30 种不同的资产，而比特币是“国家想要拥有的资产”。 同时，他补充说，中东的主权财富基金正在“悄悄地”建立加密货币头寸。 阅读更多：
