Among the most obvious and immediate implications of the Coinbase listing is the anticipated wave of initial public offerings (IPOs) from other cryptocurrency-related companies

Mexico City, Mexico, Mexico - September 25, 2021 /MarketersMEDIA/ —

When Coinbase became a publicly-traded company in April 2021, the media hailed the direct listing on Nasdaq as a “pivotal,” “watershed,” “landmark,” and “historic” moment for the digital assets market. By that point, the San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange had become the largest sector player in the United States and one of the biggest platforms in the world. “For an industry that has struggled for over a decade to secure legitimacy and appeal to mainstream investors, the Coinbase stock market listing signaled the potential start of a new era,” says acclaimed forex broker Pablo Soria de Lachica. “After all, this is the company whose profound importance for the cryptocurrency ecosystem is reflected in the term the ‘Coinbase effect,’ which denotes a surge in the price of a digital asset upon its inclusion in the trading roster of Coinbase and other major cryptocurrency exchanges.”

Pablo Soria de Lachica notes further, “The extreme volatility of the crypto market and the lack of meaningful regulatory oversight have so far kept digital assets on the sidelines, making them little more than a plaything for speculators. On the other hand, the tentative but growing interest of institutional investors and the emergence of crypto-related products – such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), futures, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) – are creating a momentum that Coinbase seems poised to build up. In a sign that the digital assets market aims to ascend to the next level, the company’s stock market listing valued it at $86 billion at the end of its first trading day, which eclipses the valuations of Nasdaq and Intercontinental Exchange Group, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange.”

Among the most obvious and immediate implications of the Coinbase listing is the anticipated wave of initial public offerings (IPOs) from other cryptocurrency-related companies, Pablo Soria de Lachica says. Whether they choose the traditional IPO route or opt for a direct listing, as Coinbase did, this market debut is widely seen as paving the way for more crypto space operators to go public. Speaking to Fortune shortly after the listing, Santosh Rao, research head at merchant bank Manhattan Venture Partners, described the event as a "template that other companies will follow." Rao told the publication, "I think you will see a lot more activity in the crypto space in terms of companies going public, use cases, regulators warming up to it.” The regulatory stamp of approval for its stock market debut and the fact that being a publicly-traded company would entail closer scrutiny of its financial results are also expected to make Coinbase a key player in the campaign to legitimize digital assets and bolster investor confidence.

A day before the IPO, Perianne Boring, founder and president of the Chamber of Digital Commerce, offered an explanation for the excitement surrounding the Coinbase listing and its potential impact on the cryptocurrency market. In an interview for Bloomberg TV, she noted, “There is a lot of pent-up demand for exposure to Bitcoin because there are very few approved products that investors can buy through their brokerage firms. Historically, financial advisors have not allowed their clients to invest in digital assets directly, and then we also don't have any crypto exchange-traded products in the markets in the US at all. What investors are doing to get exposure is they have to invest indirectly in the stocks of public companies that either own crypto or have operations in the crypto space. Coinbase represents the first blue-chip – so public pure crypto company – that will be an approved way to have direct exposure to Bitcoin. That's really what's driving all of the excitement about tomorrow's direct listing.”
