The latest research report from Citizens Bank of the United States shows that merger and acquisition activity in the digital asset industry is accelerating and is expected to accelerate further. With the passage of the GENIUS Act (stablecoin rules) and the expected introduction of the CLARITY Act (market structure), the US regulatory environment has shifted from "hostile" to supportive, driving banks, payment processors and asset managers to actively integrate blockchain infrastructure.
According to the report, Mastercard is in talks to acquire ZeroHash for up to $2 billion, and Coinbase is close to completing a similar-sized acquisition of London-based firm BVNK. Technical complexity, talent shortages, and compliance requirements make acquisitions the most practical path for traditional institutions to expand.
The stablecoin market cap has grown from $250 billion mid-year to about $315 billion and is expected to exceed $1 trillion. Citizens Bank forecasts that the tokenized market could generate nearly $100 billion in annual revenue by 2030, including trading, custody and data services.
