One of the biggest crypto firms in the industry, Coinbase, announced earlier this week to acquire the Tagomi crypto broker. The news was announced on the 27th of May with the platform claiming that the acquisition agreement came at an inflection point in the industry. This was a moment when increasing numbers of hedge funds and macro investors were gaining increased attention on the industry. According to the crypto exchange giant, they saw significant demand for crypto investment opportunities from institutional investors over the past 12 months.
