Coinbase Acquires Token Custody Company Liquifi

BlockBeats News, July 2nd, according to official sources, Coinbase has announced the acquisition of token management company Liquifi, aiming to provide an end-to-end solution for on-chain builders.

The official statement indicates that the goal of enabling over 1 billion people to use on-chain services depends on those who are building the next generation of on-chain protocols and applications. However, the reality is that issuing tokens is far too complicated. Early teams not only need to integrate cap tables, customize ownership structures, and address regulatory uncertainty, but also face decentralized and high-risk legal, tax, and compliance obstacles. Coinbase hopes to eliminate these barriers by providing professional products and services, making token issuance simple, compliant, and scalable.

Liquifi reduces token issuance risk through automated core workflows, addressing these pain points. This acquisition will enable us to engage with builders at an earlier stage of the builder lifecycle (pre-token issuance or listing). In the future, we will integrate these capabilities with Coinbase Prime, allowing issuers to access the best tools directly from our leading Prime platform, while enhancing integration in custody, trading, financing, and other areas.
