Coinbase acquires web3 startup Liquifi after $2.9B Deribit deal

Coinbase has acquired Liquifi, a token management platform, as part of its efforts to enhance services for blockchain developers and projects, the company announced today. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Liquifi provides tools for managing token ownership, vesting schedules, and compliance workflows. The platform currently serves prominent blockchain projects including Uniswap Foundation, OP Labs (Optimism), Ethena, Zora, and 0x.

“We want to remove these barriers by providing both the product and the expertise to make token launches simple, compliant, and scalable,” said Greg Tusar.

The acquisition aims to streamline token launches for early-stage teams by automating core workflows and reducing launch risks. Coinbase plans to integrate Liquifi’s capabilities with Coinbase Prime, offering issuers direct access to tools through their Prime platform, along with custody, trading, and financing services.

The platform also provides features for employees to manage token compensation plans and enables investors to handle token holdings similar to traditional equity management.
