Coinbase’s New Acquisition

According to a blog post, Zabo – a Dallas-based cryptocurrency data aggregator – will become part of the Nasdaq-listed exchange Coinbase. The Co-Founders of the start-up Christopher Brown and Alex Treece, commented:

Coinbase Started Trading on Nasdaq

The giant cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase marked a significant milestone this year as it became the first major trading venue to have its shares publicly traded.

According to the official website of Nasdaq, COIN shares’ opening price was $381 giving. At that time, the market valuation stood at around $100 billion. It’s also worth noting that the opening price was significantly higher than the initial reference price of $250. However, the stocks price has dropped since then and currently trades around $240.

Shortly after its direct listing, Coinbase announced intentions to raise $1.25 billion to speed up its growth after its share price started sliding.

The platform outlined that the offering would be private and accessible only to institutional investors who comply with Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. It means that only those managing at least $100 million in securities issued by other companies can apply.

Additionally, Coinbase continued its expansion in April as it agreed to acquire Skew – the popular analytics company providing various data about cryptocurrencies.
