Coinbase Signs $375 Million Deal for Crypto Investment Platform Echo

Coinbase will use Echo's platform to enable easier capital access for startups and investors, supporting $200 million raised and expanding into tokenized securities and real assets.

  • This year, Coinbase acquired Echo for approximately $375 million, saying the deal will build a full‑stack crypto fundraising solution.
  • Amid a pickup in dealmaking this year, Coinbase plans to expand Echo's infrastructure to tokenized securities and real‑world assets, following Kraken's $100 million Small Exchange deal last week.
  • Echo founder Jordan Fish, known as Cobie, built the platform focused on token sales, which has helped crypto projects raise more than $200 million since its launch two years ago.
  • Investors gain new access to early-stage opportunities previously gated behind private networks, while startups receive easier access to capital and fundraising tools aligned with their user base.
  • Coinbase framed the acquisition with a mission statement: `We want to create more accessible, efficient, and transparent capital markets`, complementing earlier buys like LiquiFi and a $2.9 billion Deribit transaction and a $25 million investment to revive Jordan Fish's UpOnly podcast.
