Coinbase gets a $250 initial reference price
NASDAQ has announced that it has set an initial stock price of $250 for Coinbase ahead of its highly-anticipated listing on the stock exchange. The reference price was agreed to in consultation with Coinbase's financial advisors and based on private transactions for the stock.The implication is that the initial reference price of $COIN on the NASDAQ stock exchange will be $250. In its statement, NASDAQ said, "As a Direct Listing, COIN will be in a regulatory halt until Nasdaq opens trading pursuant to the procedures described in Rules 4120(c)(8) and (9) and 4753. Because COIN has not had recent sustained trading in a private placement market, Nasdaq is required to determine the price to use for purposes of Rule 4753(a)(3)(A)(iv)(b) and 4753(b)(2)(D)(ii). That reference price is $250.00."
NASDAQ further explained that the reference price could differ from the stock's price when it starts trading. "Please note that the reference price is NOT an offering price, and nobody has purchased or sold shares at that price. The opening public price will be determined based on buy and sell orders in the opening auction on NASDAQ," the operator added.
The initial reference price gives Coinbase a rough valuation of $64 billion, based on FTX's estimate of 255 million shares.
Coinbase gifts employees 100 shares each
The cryptocurrency exchange is showing appreciation and gratitude to its staff by offering them shares of the company ahead of today's public listing. A spokesperson for Coinbase revealed that over 1,700 employees had been given 100 shares each.With the COIN stock valued at an initial $250, this means that Coinbase has awarded each staff member $25,000. Ireland's Business Post reported that the company first notified the staff about their new shares in its Irish wing last month.

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.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
