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.

Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts?

Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts?

The post Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In recent crypto news, Stephen Miran swore in as the latest Federal Reserve governor on September 16, 2025, slipping into the board’s last open spot right before the Federal Open Market Committee kicks off its two-day rate discussion. Traders are betting heavily on a 25-basis-point trim, which would bring the federal funds rate down to 4.00%-4.25%, based on CME FedWatch Tool figures from September 15, 2025. Miran, who’s been Trump’s top economic advisor and a supporter of his trade ideas, joins a seven-member board where just three governors come from Democratic picks, according to the Fed’s records updated that same day. Crypto News: Miran’s Background and Quick Path to Confirmation The Senate greenlit Miran on September 15, 2025, with a tight 48-47 vote, following his nomination on September 2, 2025, as per a recent crypto news update. His stint runs only until January 31, 2026, stepping in for Adriana D. Kugler, who stepped down in August 2025 for reasons not made public. Miran earned his economics Ph.D. from Harvard and worked at the Treasury back in Trump’s first go-around. Afterward, he moved to Hudson Bay Capital Management as an economist, then looped back to the White House in December 2024 to head the Council of Economic Advisers. There, he helped craft Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” approach, aimed at fixing trade gaps with China and the EU. He wouldn’t quit his White House gig, which irked Senator Elizabeth Warren at the September 7, 2025, confirmation hearings. That limited time frame means Miran gets to cast a vote straight away at the FOMC session starting September 16, 2025. The full board now features Chair Jerome H. Powell (Trump pick, term ends 2026), Vice Chair Philip N. Jefferson (Biden, to 2036), and folks like Lisa D. Cook (Biden, to 2028) and Michael S. Barr…
