Coinbase officially launches on the NASDAQ stock exchange, trades above $420
Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase is now officially trading on the NASDAQ stock exchange, becoming the latest high-profile crypto company to trade publicly. It began trading at $380 but immediately surged to a high above $420.
Coinbase now trading on NASDAQ
US-based cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase, is now officially a publicly-listed company after its shares began trading on the NASDAQ stock exchange a few minutes ago. Its entry is the biggest so far in the cryptocurrency sector as it has an initial valuation of over $100 billion.Trading under the ticker COIN, Coinbase’s shares are exchanging hands for roughly $420 on NASDAQ at the time of writing. The launch price was $380 but the shares surged to a daily high of $429.
Coinbase’s launch, though not via an initial public offering (IPO), is a great victory for the cryptocurrency space. Most analysts and cryptocurrency experts believe that cryptocurrencies are going mainstream, and developments such as this emphasize that fact.
The cryptocurrency exchange has been around since 2012 and has benefited from the massive rise of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and several other cryptocurrencies. Earlier today, Cryptonary reported that NASDAQ set an initial reference price of $250 for the stock. However, it began trading on NASDAQ at $380 and the price surged above $420 within minutes.
With over 255 million shares, Coinbase was expected to have an initial valuation of roughly $64 billion. Coinbase gifted its employees 100 shares each, which is worth over $42,000 at the current price.
Coinbase’s listing comes after a successful quarter
The cryptocurrency exchange pulled perhaps its most successful quarter earlier this year after recording nearly $2 billion in revenue. The $1.8 billion Coinbase generated in the first quarter of 2021 surpasses the $1.3 billion it generated in the entire 2020.Coinbase and other crypto exchanges have recorded massive revenues thanks to an extended cryptocurrency market bull cycle that began last year. Bitcoin dropped below the $4,000 mark in March 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic but rose higher to end the year below $30,000.
The bull cycle continued, with the leading cryptocurrency setting a new high above $64,000 yesterday. Ether, Binance Coin (BNB), and several other altcoins all touched new all-time highs as retail and institutional investors trooped into the market.
With Coinbase going public, more crypto exchanges are expected to do the same over the coming months or years. Kraken has already revealed that it intends to launch an IPO before the end of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
