Coinbase Acquires Echo
Echo, founded by prominent crypto personality Cobie (real name Jordan Fish), is a capital-raising platform that allows users to participate in early-stage crypto fundraising rounds.
Echo has already made strides in opening up private markets helping projects raise $200M+ over ~300 completed deals since launch. Its new self-hosted public token sale product Sonar has also seen early success, helping power Plasma’s XPL token sale.
The deal was valued at approximately $375 million and was comprised of a mix of cash and stock, subject to customary purchase price adjustments.
Bringing back Up Only was just the warm up.
