Insiders claim that Moonacy Protocol may soon merge with Coinbase and become part of their ecosystem. This information comes from Nicolas Garcia, who has previously predicted five high-profile deals.
According to this information, there are 3 factors that indirectly confirm it.
The first is the acquisition of the moonacy.com domain by the Coinbase platform. In public domain name registries we can see that the owner of the moonacy.com address is currently Coinbase. This domain could not be redeemed without a reason. Either Coinbase has already started the integration or they are working on rebranding Moonacy for further use in the exchange ecosystem.
Second, Moonacy Protocol has started an active search for a legal officer with knowledge of AML, KYC, Web3 and international law in a jurisdiction with tight control over crypto assets. Typically, companies that begin to add legal officers to their team do so prior to major strategic deals. Otherwise, lawyers are always outsourced.
Finally, the unexpected drop in interest rates of return for users may also indicate that a new business model is being prepared with Coinbase to meet CEX standards. If the merger does take place, it is possible that Moonacy’s investment programs will be discontinued altogether or revised and reduced.
To date, there is no official information from Moonacy Protocol or Coinbase. On the other hand, Garcia claims that the negotiations are coming to the end and that the companies will most likely announce the news in the coming months.
If the rumors are true and the merger goes through, it will be one of the biggest deals of 2025. As for the current Moonacy Protocol users, they may have the option to integrate their assets into the Coinbase ecosystem, which will affect convenience, but possibly lead to a change in investment terms.
What will happen in the end is an open question. It remains to follow the developments in the near future and the situation will probably become clearer.
