Just broke: The UK's IPF has greenlit a $733 million takeover by BasePoint. This is a pretty significant move in the infrastructure space. For those tracking platform consolidation, this signals how deep-pocketed entities are actively reshaping the trading ecosystem. The deal's implications ripple across custody solutions, market connectivity, and operational frameworks that countless platforms depend on. Whether this accelerates innovation or centralizes control—there's definitely something to watch here for anyone invested in how this sector evolves.

Another wave of big fish eating small fish, trying to monopolize the ecosystem with just 733 million? That's really outrageous.

Over 700 million dollars in transactions... What kind of centralization is this again? BasePoint taking over the IPF move... retail investors still have to keep getting cut. Big acquisition frenzy, is it really innovation or just power concentration? Anyway, us small retail investors' opinions don't matter. Wait, could this affect gas fees... The game of the financing giants, let's just watch the show.

Another big fish eating small fish? Investing 733 million, is BasePoint aiming to monopolize the entire ecosystem?

733 million USD, BasePoint made a bold move, and it's time for a new round of centralized harvesting.

7.33 million USD? BasePoint's move was quite aggressive, another wave of consolidation. Centralization will become more and more serious... Who would still dare to say that Web3 is decentralized now? LOL

73.3 billion dollars acquisition? Now the exchanges better brace themselves... --- BasePoint is playing a good move here; it's been obvious for a while that these old institutions are about to reshuffle. --- Another round of centralization—feels like Web3 is becoming more and more like Web2. --- By the way, the real beneficiaries are not those big players; retail investors continue to be harvested, haha. --- Once this deal goes through, the custody sector will definitely be reshaped, so we need to keep a close eye on it.
