Important points
- Coinbase continues its active acquisition spree in 2025 with an agreement to acquire Vector, a decentralized exchange based in Solana.
- This is Coinbase’s ninth deal this year, following major acquisitions such as Deribit and Echo.
Coinbase announced Friday that it will acquire Vector, a mobile-first social trading application focused on meme coin trading, to enhance its on-chain trading capabilities.
Able to instantly discover and support new Solana assets, Vector’s infrastructure integrates directly with Coinbase’s DEX trading capabilities.
With Solana’s DEX trading volume expected to exceed $1 trillion in 2025, this acquisition is consistent with Coinbase’s strategy to build an “everything exchange” by expanding asset access, increasing speed and liquidity, and strengthening its presence in high-activity ecosystems.
The deal is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
This is a developing story.
