B2C2 Negotiates Sale of Stake with SBI

B2C2 is in negotiations for a sale, with Japan's SBI Holdings holding a 90% stake. Over the past 18 months, B2C2 has engaged in discussions with several potential buyers regarding the sale of its stake, but the outcome of the deal remains uncertain. B2C2 expects a valuation of over $1 billion; however, recent poor conditions in the crypto market have raised concerns about the feasibility of achieving this valuation. Founded in 2015, B2C2 is an institutional-focused cryptocurrency market maker that supports digital asset trading and provides liquidity 24/7. However, this year, the crypto market has contracted due to decreased trading volumes and macroeconomic uncertainties, leading to profitability pressures. Industry analysts interpret the discussions around the sale of B2C2 as part of a structural change in the crypto industry, predicting that mergers and acquisitions will become a key trend starting in 2026. SBI Holdings appears to be making a strategic decision to enhance capital efficiency and restructure its business portfolio through the sale of B2C2's stake. If the sale goes through, the role of liquidity providers in the increasingly institutional-focused crypto market will be put to the test again.
