Coinbase to acquire Vector (Coinbase/Modified by CoinDesk)
What to know:
- Coinbase is acquiring Vector, a Solana-based on-chain trading platform, with the team set to integrate into Coinbase’s consumer trading division and its standalone apps slated for shutdown.
- The deal marks Coinbase’s ninth acquisition of 2025, following earlier buys including Echo for $375 million and Deribit for $2.9 billion.
- Vector’s addition arrives as Solana DEX volume surpasses $1 trillion this year, reinforcing Coinbase’s ambition to build an “everything exchange” with faster token access and improved execution for traders.
Coinbase is adding another Solana-focused piece to its growing trading empire with the acquisition of Vector, an on-chain trading platform built natively for Solana’s high-speed environment.
The companies didn’t disclose financial terms, but the deal is expected to close before the end of the year, according to a blog post.

Vector’s team and technology will be absorbed into Coinbase’s consumer trading division, where they’ll help accelerate support for newly issued Solana assets, improve order routing, and strengthen the exchange’s broader DEX-facing infrastructure.
Once the deal finalizes, Vector’s standalone mobile and desktop apps will wind down, though the Tensor Foundation — which oversees the Tensor NFT marketplace and its token — will continue operating independently.
The acquisition extends Coinbase’s rapid deal-making streak. This marks the exchange’s ninth purchase of 2025 following deals to buy Echo for $375 million and options exchange Deribit for $2.9 billion among others.
The Vector deal comes as Solana's cumulative DEX volume crosses the $1 trillion market this year, with Coinbase seemingly intent of expanding across an ecosystem that was buoyed by memecoin mania at the turn of the year.
Coinbase framed the move as another step toward building an “everything exchange.” For traders, that could mean faster access to new tokens and smoother execution across Solana’s fast-moving markets.
The company says more integrations are on the horizon as it continues expanding its on-chain trading capabilities.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models
The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
