One of the leading cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has recently announced plans to go public via a direct listing. The exchange has decided to get a direct listing on the Nasdaq instead of the New York Stock Exchange. The online publication The Block has shared from unknown sources that Coinbase has decided against going to the NYSE. They have also reported that Coinbase has launched a secondary market for private shares with Nasdaq’s Private Market service, which has already implied a valuation of around $50 billion.
