We analyze data for 2024 from 26 jurisdictions to reveal the latest trends in global merger control activity. We also look ahead at what to expect in 2025, as new leadership in key jurisdictions focus on pro-business and growth agendas, and new enforcement priorities emerge.
Key trends include:
1. Merger control frustrates more M&A, but are the tides turning?
2. Antitrust authorities’ skepticism of merger remedies causes headwinds.
3. Uncertain regulatory climate makes deal protections crucial.
4. Tech deals, serial acquisitions and PE continue to feel the antitrust heat.
5. Rising review risk for deals not meeting merger control thresholds.
6. EU foreign subsidies regime rain down challenges.

On 29 April 2025, the UK government published its much-anticipated draft cryptoasset legislation, the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities and Miscellaneous Provisions) (Cryptoassets) Order 2025. It will:
1. bring unregulated cryptoassets within the scope of UK financial services regulation;
2. subject both UK and (in many cases) offshore firms serving UK customers to a licensing regime, for a variety of activities involving exchange, custody and staking of cryptoassets and issuance of stablecoins; and
3. make related changes to existing regulatory regimes.
The draft legislation is just the beginning. Today, the FCA released a Discussion Paper, covering its approach to regulating some cryptoasset activities and we expect further publications in the coming weeks.
