Two giants in the mining sector are exploring a merger that could reshape the industry landscape. The proposed combination would create an entity commanding roughly $207 billion in market capitalization, positioning it as the planet's leading mining operation. This potential consolidation reflects ongoing industry transformation as companies seek economies of scale and operational synergies. For the broader Web3 and crypto community, such developments matter—mining operations depend heavily on commodity supply chains and energy infrastructure. Larger, more consolidated players could influence everything from GPU availability to electricity costs in key mining regions. The talks remain preliminary, but if materialized, this would represent one of the most significant industry combinations in recent years, worthy of tracking for anyone monitoring blockchain economics and infrastructure costs.

If this merger really happens, GPU prices will have to go up...

The two major mining giants merge... In essence, it's still the old trick of capital hunting for scarce resources. Ancient mining monopolies were the same way. --- Whether or not they can monopolize the energy supply chain will determine the pricing power of future blockchain infrastructure, which is worth paying attention to. --- A market cap of 20.7 billion sounds impressive, but what truly affects us are GPU prices and electricity costs—that's the real lifeline. --- Every time I see a major merger, I think of the commercial alliances on the ancient Silk Road. The essence hasn't changed—consolidating the voice. --- If it really happens, will they secretly raise the electricity costs in mining areas... we need to be cautious about that. --- This short period before the merger might actually be the last balance period.

Another big fish eating small fish, is a monster with a market cap of 207 billion about to be born?

207 billion market cap? If that really merges, the graphics card market will take a big hit.
