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.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise
The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
