Coinbase Makes Things Official With Its Direct Listing Announcement

January 29, 2021 by Sahana Kiran

Coinbase endured an array of struggles in 2020. While Bitcoin turned multiple heads with its price change throughout last year, Coinbase, however, failed to keep up with the increased volatility as well as demand for the king coin and the other cryptocurrencies. Despite this setback, the crypto exchange managed to make it big with an array of acquisitions over the last month. Its recent announcement of going public was another add on for the exchange. While it was rumored that the crypto platform intended to go forward with an initial public offering [IPO], Coinbase’s new announcement says another story.

Coinbase Global, Inc. previously announced on December 17, 2020 that it had confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC. The Form S-1 is expected to become effective after the SEC completes its review process, subject to market and other conditions.”

Tidings about another prominent cryptocurrency exchange, Gemini going public as Coinbase is taking a leap towards the same.
