We’re thrilled to share that Liquifi, one of MettaFi Capital’s standout portfolio companies, has been officially acquired by Coinbase, marking yet another milestone in Coinbase’s strategic expansion this year.
What’s the Deal?
- Coinbase is acquiring Liquifi—a leading token-management platform that automates cap‑table management, vesting schedules, and compliance—for early-stage blockchain builders.
- This marks the fourth acquisition by Coinbase in 2025, following the significant $2.9 B acquisition of Deribit just weeks ago.
- Teams such as Uniswap Foundation, OP Labs (Optimism), Zora, Ethena, and 0x already rely on Liquifi—and now, these capabilities will be integrated into Coinbase Prime for institutional-grade token issuance.
Why This Matters
1. Mission-Driven Fit
Coinbase is on a mission to onboard over a billion users on-chain. Liquifi’s platform aligns seamlessly by simplifying the fragmented token launch process—from legal and tax to compliance and operational risk.
2. Empowering Builders Earlier
The acquisition will bring Liquifi’s infrastructure directly into Coinbase Prime, enabling developers to launch tokens more compliantly and efficiently—from ideation to post-launch.
3. Furthering Institutional Tokenization
As tokenization expands beyond DeFi—into NFTs, stablecoins, and real-world assets—Coinbase now gains critical tooling for cap‑table automation, vesting, distribution, and compliance, all backed by robust infrastructure.
A Proud Moment for MettaFi Capital
Founder feedback says it all: “You’re one of the best investors I’ve worked with.” That kind of partnership matters—and so does deepening strategic ties with Coinbase. Accompanying Liquifi’s founders through this journey, we’ve not only supported exceptional talent but also expanded our network into one of crypto’s premier institutions.
What’s Next
With Liquifi now part of Coinbase, expect enhanced token issuance tools—automated vesting, compliance, and distribution—embedded within Coinbase Prime. This acquisition differentiates Coinbase from competitors and signals the continued professionalization of the crypto infrastructure stack, backed by MettaFi Capital’s early support.
From Us at MettaFi Capital
At MettaFi, we believe in backing founders who solve real problems for transparently building the financial future. Liquifi’s acquisition reaffirms our strategy: invest early in exceptional teams, support their scale, and foster strong institutional partnerships. Congratulations to Robin, Oliver, and the entire Liquifi team—and here’s to many more wins ahead!
Stay tuned for more portfolio updates and follow our journey in supporting the next wave of on-chain infrastructure.
