The crypto ecosystem is witnessing a major consolidation move with the acquisition of Mobula by the Fomo platform for $17 million. This French startup, co-founded by Sacha Marcus and Sacha Delhoux, had made a name for itself by developing high-performance on-chain data indexing infrastructure. At just 19 years old, Sacha Marcus has achieved a high-profile exit and is now joining Fomo’s engineering team, alongside several key members from his former company.
This strategic acquisition allows Fomo, a New York-based player specializing in social trading, to bolster its technical infrastructure. Facing hypergrowth, the platform sought to reduce its reliance on third-party data providers. By bringing this technology in-house, the group aims to optimize latency and reliability across its services—particularly for its perpetual trading tools and community features—while supporting its rapid scaling on the Solana network.
The figures illustrate Fomo’s meteoric rise, with the platform now claiming nearly 1.2 million monthly active users and trading volume reaching $2.8 billion in August 2026 alone. Backed by top-tier investment firms such as Index Ventures and Benchmark, the platform has established itself as a serious competitor in the social trading market, rivaling established players like Pump.fun and climbing to the top of mobile app store rankings.
Beyond the financial aspect, this deal highlights the critical importance of data mastery in decentralized finance. For the founder of Mobula, this integration represents an opportunity to deploy his technological solutions at a much larger scale, within a product already widely adopted by the mainstream. With an annualized revenue run rate exceeding $200 million, Fomo confirms its commitment to permanently transforming the user experience in the world of on-chain trading.
