Coinbase is building a “universal exchange” using Vector technology and onchain tools
- Coinbase integrates Vector technology to expand Solana access and improve its market analysis capabilities.
- SOL sales exceed one billion, strengthening Coinbase’s role in global digital asset trading.
Coinbase is strengthening its trading infrastructure through the Takeover of Vector, a Solana-based onchain trading platform. This is intended to deepen the connection to Solana’s growing market.
Vector’s technology will be integrated directly into the decentralized trading interface. This enables broader access to onchain markets and faster identification of new assets launched across major Solana platforms. Vector technology is known for its ability to detect new tokens the moment they appear in the market.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said they want to expand the company’s Solana capabilities. Already, technological upgrades have led to a fivefold increase in block processing. With AgentKit and x402 now running on Solana, Coinbase is expanding its infrastructure to support faster trading.
Earlier this year I said we’d level up our Solana game. Since then we’ve brought AgentKit and x402 to Solana, and made upgrades to our infrastructure to scale services (5x improvement in block processing throughput, 4x improved RPC performance).

“We are doubling Solana”
Solana DEX revenue exceeded $1 trillion in 2025, according to data from Messari. Growth is to be secured by bringing Vector’s team that specializes in Solana on board. The move supports its comprehensive plan to become a universal exchange and serve global 24/7 markets.
The company explained: “We’re doubling down on Solana,” underscoring its focus on systems that support fast trading and experimentation. The acquisition is expected to be completed before the end of the year.
As part of the transition, Vector’s existing mobile and desktop applications will be discontinued. The platform clarified that the Tensor Foundation remains independent and will continue to oversee the Tensor NFT marketplace and its tokens. No part of Tensor will be affiliated with Coinbase following the acquisition.
In addition, the company wants to… Delaware to move to Texas because there are now corporate tax changes there that have cost Delaware its reputation as an internal US tax haven. The change underlines the industry’s pursuit of a better fiscal environment that supports companies’ long-term plans.
