@jjacob. Yes, yes and yes hehe. Circle - Poloniex is only the beginning.
But for the sake of discussion, what company, do you reckon, would be willing to acquire Bittrex? Would it be Coinbase or maybe a Chinese exchange thinking of expanding their operations in America?

Big market players entering the cryptospace, particularly investing in exchanges, is a positive. You don't need to take any risk related to cryptocurrency valuations while setting up an exchange. Big established conglomerates will be able to take advantage of their market reputation and attract customers as well.

On the other side of the world, I reckon we would be seeing more mergers and acquisitions same as the Circle - Poloniex deal. There is another US based exchange out there that I would assume to be very ripe for acquisition. Bittrex.
If an online payments company like Paypal wanted to enter the cryptospace, then buying Bittrex or Kraken might be a good move in my opinion.
