Moonrock Capital founder Simon Dedic posted on the X platform, "Coinbase's acquisition of VECTOR is a brilliant internal boost. $TNSR surged 8 times during the market crash over two days, only to plummet 40% after the announcement. Furthermore, the actual developer behind Vector, the Tensor Foundation, seems to remain independent of this acquisition, including the tokens. Although there has been no official announcement yet, it is basically certain that Tensor will cash out a large undisclosed amount, while $TNSR holders, as always, gain nothing. This is a serious case of misalignment between equity and token value." Simon Dedic concluded by urging that tokens should be equivalent to on-chain equity.

Now, we will bring in SOL native technology and talent to connect to our platform, enhancing Coinbase's support for Solana transactions. This is how we build the exchange of everything."
