For some time, discussions about this topic have been ongoing, and news based on insider sources is becoming concrete. Recently, we observe U.S.-based crypto companies engaging in aggressive acquisitions. The U.S. giants acquiring large and powerful cryptocurrency companies are likely anticipating reaping benefits in the new era.
Coinbase and Deribit
Ripple 
$1 alone made its first major acquisition for $1.25 billion and offered $4 billion to Circle. Today, Bloomberg reported that Coinbase intends to purchase Deribit for $2.9 billion. Undoubtedly, they must have significant expectations for the upcoming period, as they have begun spending such large amounts freely. Naturally, this situation is extremely positive for the expectations regarding cryptocurrency markets.
According to WSJ and Bloomberg sources, the world’s largest platform for Bitcoin 
$78,302 options, Deribit, is being sold to Coinbase, the largest U.S exchange by volume.
Former President Trump, who vowed to make the U.S. the capital of crypto, had pledged support for crypto companies in the country. In his recent statement, Greg Tusar, Coinbase’s Vice President responsible for institutional products, said, “This will make us the most important player in the derivatives market.”
The payment will be made with $700 million in cash and 11 million shares of Coinbase Class A common stock.
Last year’s data and market share of the company reveal how significant a step Coinbase has taken.
