Coinbase said Friday it is acquiring Vector, a mobile-first social trading application focusing on meme coin trading, to enhance its onchain trading capabilities.
Vector’s infrastructure, which can detect and support new Solana assets instantly, will integrate directly into Coinbase’s DEX trading features.
With Solana’s DEX volume surpassing $1 trillion in 2025, the acquisition aligns with Coinbase’s strategy to build the “everything exchange” by expanding asset access, improving speed and liquidity, and strengthening its presence in high-activity ecosystems.
The deal is expected to close by year-end.
This is a developing story.
