April 14th, 2021 – 9:20 am: The information about the Coinbase IPO

In a few hours the time will come when Coinbase, the largest American crypto broker, will go public. The IPO is a direct public offering (DPO) on the US tech stock exchange NASDAQ´ (trade code: COIN) and not an Initial Public Offering (IPO). Both IPOs differ from one another in certain key areas. A key difference lies, for example, in the holding period for existing shareholders. While an IPO can stipulate a holding period of up to six months, there is none with a DPO. This brings with it certain risks, as investors can sell their stocks directly for quick profit-taking.

NASDAQ has set a target price for Coinbase’s IPO. Accordingly, a share should change hands for 250 US dollars, which gives the US company a market value of 65 billion US dollars. However, this assessment does not have to be particularly meaningful, because experts also consider a company valuation of 100 billion US dollars and more to be possible. Especially since the average price at which Coinbase shares changed hands before the DPO (e.g. on exchanges such as the FTX) from January 1 to March 15 was $ 343.58. And in view of the current bull market, which is giving many crypto currencies all-time and annual highs, there seems to be no upper limit.
