Should the deal go through, the platform will be the second regulated crypto exchange under WonderFi.

As part of the deal, WonderFi will also acquire Coinberry’s 220,000-plus customers, giving the combined firm a community of more than 750,000 users. Founded in 2017, Coinberry has processed over $1 billion in transactions to date.

The agreement was announced on Monday, less than a month after WonderFi closed its deal with Toronto-based crypto exchange Bitbuy Technologies Inc. for $206-million in cash and shares.

The firm also recently closed its acquisition of Bitbuy's parent company First Ledger Corp. for $162 million. In an interview, Kevin O’Leary mentioned that there will be “several more and even bigger” acquisitions on the way.

WonderFi says its acquisition of Bitbuy and Coinberry is geared towards consolidating Canada’s crypto trading platforms against unregulated entities like FTX and Coinbase.
