Coinbase is all gearing up to go on public. The major cryptocurrency exchange recently filed the preliminary document with the.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Coinbase has been in the subject of the speculation of IP for quite some time now. However, the time is right after a day when Bitcoin managed to make a record with $20,000 for the first time ever, ignorance surely cannot be made. There has been some major exchange that is positioning the p[rice as the Wall street is quite accessible one but yet on cryptocurrency. In the year 2018, Coinbase was valued at $8 billion.

With the hike in Bitcoin price from then while the public offering demand, it is expected that the currency value of the coinbase will be quite high. Form S 1 is also expected to be an effective option post-SAeC finishes the review process while it is subject to the market and many other conditions. Coinbase has said it filed in a much confidential manner with SEC. That is the first step for the journey to the public offering. The document is quite likely to include the rise in the target which was not available during the press time.

However, the spokespersons of Coinbase further did not comment. The company’s influence has literally touched all the corners of the cryptocurrency industry now. It has turned out to be one gateway for alternative cryptocurrencies and a hub for retail bitcoin trading. Besides the institutional business is also growing at a faster pace if you compare it with MicroStrategy’s stats pile. With an analytics team, a stable coin in partnership with Circle, a commerce department and a venture swing it can appeal to the Wall Street class eager for cryptocurrency markets exposure. However, it is still not clear whether the coinbase needs to go public using direct listing or through an IPO.
