Coinbase is doubling down on token infrastructure with its latest acquisition, targeting the early stages of crypto project development.
The U.S.-based exchange announced it has acquired Liquifi, a startup specializing in token management, cap table automation, and compliance solutions for onchain projects.
This marks Coinbase’s fourth acquisition in 2025, coming just weeks after its $2.9 billion purchase of crypto derivatives exchange Deribit. Liquifi, launched in 2021, has worked with high-profile clients like Uniswap, Optimism, Ethena, and Zora.
Coinbase’s VP of institutional product, Greg Tusar, says the move is part of a broader strategy to simplify the token launch process — an area often bogged down by legal, tax, and regulatory obstacles. By integrating Liquifi’s tools into Coinbase Prime, the company hopes to create a seamless experience from token planning to execution.
The goal is clear: make launching tokens as easy and global as issuing startup equity. Liquifi’s automation tech promises to reduce risks and operational overhead for new projects, enabling Coinbase to work with builders earlier in their journeys, even before a token is listed or live.
With support from Coinbase’s infrastructure, Liquifi said it now plans to build “the institutional-grade token infrastructure the industry deserves.” As Coinbase continues to expand its influence across every stage of the crypto lifecycle, the acquisition signals a push to become the go-to platform for token creation, trading, custody, and compliance.
