Word on the street suggests a major shake-up in the crypto data space: CoinGecko is in talks for a potential exit, with top advisory firm Moelis brought in to handle negotiations. The target valuation? Around $500 million.

If this goes through, we're looking at the biggest data platform exit in crypto since 2020, when Binance snapped up CoinMarketCap for $400 million. That's the scale we're talking about here.

CoinGecko has built itself into one of the industry's go-to sources for market data and analytics. A deal at this valuation would signal serious investor appetite for established crypto infrastructure plays.

Here are some distinctive-style comments for you: --- **Comment 1:** Wait, 500 million USD? Is this price a bit too inflated... **Comment 2:** Another big company is about to take over the infrastructure, if this continues, data will be monopolized. **Comment 3:** CoinGecko is about to be acquired, then my trading data will... Never mind, I should just ask if there are any alternatives. **Comment 4:** 500 million dollars, is it a hundred times more expensive than CoinMarketCap? This valuation is a bit outrageous. **Comment 5:** To put it simply, infrastructure is the most valuable; whoever controls the data controls the discourse. **Comment 6:** When a big-name consultant like Moelis steps in, this thing is almost certain to happen. **Comment 7:** Is CoinGecko really going to be finished... I still rely on it to check market trends.
