Coinbase may merge with traditional exchanges, ICE may be a potential target

Last week, Trump announced that Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano will be included in the US strategic reserves of cryptocurrencies. Wall Street has begun to pay attention to Coinbase and mainstream US stock exchanges. Analysis believes that if Coinbase can merge with traditional exchanges, it will be able to create a company that is both professionally knowledgeable and influential in the industry, thereby dominating the current fragmented cryptocurrency market. The ability of large US exchanges to make this deal happen, it is rumored that Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) may be a potential target. The exchange has a market value of up to $100 billion, with a P/E ratio of 36. Its CEO Jeffrey Sprecher's wife, Kelly Loeffler, is a member of the Trump administration. If large investors push for a top exchange to acquire Coinbase, the new company will be able to maximize investment returns as cryptocurrencies gradually move from the financial frontier to mainstream.
