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.

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.
