Blockchain Technology Exits Over Time

As the graphic demonstrates, blockchain technology has seen a total of 5 exit events through Q2 of this year. This represents 45% of the total exits in 2018, and 71% of the exits through Q2 in 2018. Some of the exit events in 2019 include Slock.it’s acquisition by Blockchains, Coins.ph’s acquisition by Go-Jek, and Neutrino’s acquisition by Coinbase.

A straight-line projection of the completed exit activity this year would come out to 10 exit events, which comprises 91% of the total exits in 2018. By the same token, a weighted quarterly average projection of 2019 exit activity would come out to 8 exit events, which falls short of the total exits in 2018 by 29%. Therefore, based on the mid-year data, blockchain technology exit activity in 2019 is projected to diminish from the exit activity in 2018.
