Earlier, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved Coinbase‘s application for a direct listing of shares. The company’s anticipated market capitalization exceeded $100 billion — such an assessment is formed by traders on Nasdaq Private Market, where the shares are currently traded.
The largest Coinbase shareholder is venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz — more than 5.5 million Class A shares. At $395 per share, its stake would be worth $2.17 billion.
