ChainCatcher news, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley posted on X: "The Trump administration may unfreeze merger and acquisition (M&A) deals. Large companies (like the Big Seven) may ultimately be able to leverage their market value. Amazon could acquire Instacart, Google could acquire Uber, and so on.Big companies may become bigger, while medium-sized companies may shrink.

The growing size of big companies underscores this point. 2025 will be fascinating."
