【Blockchain Rhythm】Fireblocks, a blockchain infrastructure company, recently announced a major acquisition—spending $130 million in cash and equity to acquire TRES Finance, a platform specializing in crypto accounting. This is not a small move, but the second acquisition within just three months.
What is Fireblocks’ main business? The core revolves around one thing: helping enterprises securely hold and transfer digital assets. In October last year, they took action by acquiring the dynamic wallet startup Dynamic for about $90 million. These two acquisitions are closely connected, with a clear logic—ranging from asset security custody, account management, to financial accounting processing, Fireblocks is building an infrastructure that links the entire lifecycle of crypto assets.
What does this acquisition pace indicate? Large infrastructure providers are accelerating the integration of upstream and downstream ecosystems. As crypto companies’ demands for compliance, risk control, and tax processing grow stronger, single-function solutions are no longer sufficient. Fireblocks’ strategy is clear: expand through acquisitions to establish a comprehensive service loop covering the entire asset management process. This sends a signal to the industry—the competition in infrastructure is escalating.

Fireblocks' recent move is quite aggressive. Spending over 200 million in half a year to connect the entire chain, it seems that infrastructure players are really working on building an ecosystem closed loop.

Selling so many assets... Fireblocks is starting to eat aggressively again, with two large orders in one go. Are they trying to monopolize the entire industry chain?

The rhythm of selling concepts, I'm just worried that one day funding can't keep up. It's easy to spend money to expand, but how to make money is the real challenge.

Another wave of acquisition frenzy appears, is this aiming to monopolize the entire ecosystem?
---
1.3 billion spent just for accounting software? I don't understand it but I'm truly amazed.
---
Fireblocks is playing a big game... from wallets and accounts to bookkeeping, it really has something.
---
Two acquisitions in three months, this financing amount is quite intense, how much gas fees must have been spent.
---
Honestly, it's about creating a one-stop shop for crypto, now everyone wants to do ecosystem integration.
---
Wow, with this acquisition speed, how much money does it take to build a complete infrastructure?
---
So Fireblocks is now both the parent and the provider, covering custody and finance entirely?

Fireblocks' move is really aggressive; in three months, they've invested over 200 million to unify everything.

1.3 billion spent, this logic is clearly aiming to take over the entire industry chain.
---
Fireblocks' acquisition pace is truly aggressive, from custody to accounting, it feels like building an ecosystem empire.
---
In just three months, two big moves, they really have the money, but isn't this approach a bit crazy?
---
Basically, it's still infrastructure companies positioning themselves; whoever controls the lifecycle wins.
---
Custody, accounts, and accounting—none are overlooked. Are they trying to monopolize...
---
Spending 130 million to acquire an accounting platform? That seems ridiculously high. Is the market this hot?
---
It feels like Fireblocks is playing a big game, aiming to control the entire chain.
---
At this pace, small companies really have no way out—it's a game of big fish eating small fish.
---
With so much money burning fast, industry consolidation is indeed the time for players like this.

Fireblocks' recent moves are quite aggressive, with two acquisitions in three months. It seems they're aiming to thoroughly understand the entire ecosystem.
The cryptocurrency asset management platform has been very active, completing two major mergers and acquisitions within three months.
