Coinbase's IPO Is Next Week: Here's Everything You Need to Know

One of the most high-profile public listings to hit the market this year will no doubt be Coinbase Global, the leading cryptocurrency exchange in the U.S. Coinbase announced last week that the Securities and Exchange Commission had approved the company's direct listing, and shares are scheduled to begin trading on the Nasdaq exchange on April 14 using the ticker COIN. Coinbase has listed 114,850,769 shares of stock, but we don't yet know exactly how many will be available for sale, and the company has yet to reveal a proposed stock price. Coinbase is valued at roughly $68 billion on the private markets, but that rises to more than $100 billion when including Coinbase's fully diluted share count.
