Very excited to share that @areta_io has advised @CoinMENA, the largest local crypto exchange in the Middle East and North Africa, on its acquisition by @ParibuCom, Türkiye’s leading digital asset platform, in a transaction valued at up to USD 240 million. The deal marks Türkiye’s largest fintech acquisition to date and the country’s first cross-border crypto platform transaction - a major milestone in the ongoing institutionalization and consolidation of the sector globally. Regional market leaders are increasingly pursuing scale, regulatory strength, and multi-jurisdiction footprints. CoinMENA, serving more than 1.5 million users across 45 countries and operating under Bahrain’s Central Bank and Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), represents exactly this profile. Following our announcement of the first institutional private equity buyout in the sector earlier this month, this marks another significant milestone for the industry and our eighth M&A deal globally in 2025. Massive congratulations to @tabbaa4, @DinaSaman_, and the entire CoinMENA team for building an incredible business. It's been a huge privilege to work alongside you and witness your relentless drive, exceptional leadership, and resilience. We wish you all the best as you embark on this exciting next chapter!
