Coinbase Buys Echo in $375 Million Deal to Build Onchain Fundraising Stack

The purchase advances Coinbase’s plan to expand onchain fundraising into tokenized securities plus real‑world assets.

Overview

  • Coinbase agreed to acquire Echo for about $375 million in a cash‑and‑stock transaction, according to company statements and news reports.
  • Echo will keep operating under its brand for now, with Coinbase planning to integrate Echo’s Sonar product for self‑hosted public token sales.
  • Founded by Jordan Fish (Cobie) about two years ago, Echo has facilitated more than $200 million across roughly 300 deals.
  • Coinbase said the deal helps build a full‑stack capital formation offering and complements its earlier LiquiFi acquisition, following other 2025 moves including a Deribit deal and an investment in CoinDCX.
  • Markets reacted positively on the day of the announcement, with Coinbase shares up about 2.3% as details such as the exact cash‑stock split and integration timeline were not disclosed.
