According to sources familiar with the matter, data tracking platform CoinGecko is evaluating the possibility of a sale, with an estimated valuation of around $500 million.

As one of the most popular data platforms in the crypto market, CoinGecko aggregates real-time prices, market data, and analysis tools for thousands of cryptocurrencies, with a huge daily traffic. This potential funding or sale reflects the core value of data services in the Web3 ecosystem.

If the transaction proceeds smoothly, the new owner may further expand the platform's features and deepen data collaborations with exchanges and DeFi protocols. This also reflects that, in market cycle changes, companies providing infrastructure services often attract capital.

500 million dollars? Bro, I think that's a bit underestimated. How many people browse Gecko every day? --- Once again, infrastructure is being targeted by capital. During this cycle, it's still about bottom-fishing for tool projects. --- Wait, who’s taking over? If a major exchange acquires it entirely, I might have to consider migrating. --- Data platform funding? At this point in time, it feels a bit delicate... --- So it’s all about betting on infrastructure projects, got it. --- Oh my, another useful tool is about to be transformed by capital. Will they start charging fees then? --- If this valuation is cut by 40%, I doubt anyone will want it. The market isn’t that optimistic. --- Gecko is about to be sold; I hope the new owner doesn’t mess up this platform.

500 million dollars to sell CoinGecko? Is this price reasonable, friends? --- Checking CoinGecko for market trends every day, I didn't expect it to be sold... --- Another infrastructure project is changing hands, everything is moving in this cycle --- If CoinGecko is bought by a certain exchange, will the data be biased? I'm a bit worried --- Using the data for free for so long, it's still worth 500 million, but will the new owner start charging and ruin it? --- Infrastructure being eyed by capital indicates the industry still has prospects, bullish --- Selling CoinGecko for 500 million... I wonder if this valuation is high, has anyone calculated it? --- DeFi and exchanges definitely want to take over data sources, this deal will happen sooner or later

500 million? This price isn't as high as I imagined. Is CG's daily active users really worth that much?

500 million dollars to sell CoinGecko? That's a bit low; this data volume and daily activity are valuable anywhere. --- It's both fundraising and selling; these infrastructures should have gone public long ago. --- Oh my, the thing I use every day might change hands; I hope it doesn't get ruined. --- Infrastructure is always the most stable business; no wonder capital loves it. --- 500 million? I thought it could reach 1 billion; the valuation in the crypto world is really outrageous. --- CoinGecko is about to be acquired; I wonder if the new owner will keep the UI the same. --- Honestly, this platform's data is more accurate than many exchanges; how could it only be worth 500 million?

500 million dollars? Feels a bit low. Gecko's traffic value should be worth more than this.

Getting funding again? CoinGecko really sees through it this time; data is the key. --- $500 million... Honestly, I think this price is a bit low, considering so many people are browsing every day. --- No matter who acquires it, I hope they don't complicate the search function. It's working fine for now. --- Infrastructure companies are in the spotlight again, while retail investors are still worried about coin prices. --- If a major exchange acquires it, that would be interesting—warning about data monopoly. --- Wait, is this real? Which giant is taking over? Give us some insider info. --- Calculating this valuation, only a stable business can be worth this much.
