The biggest event in the crypto market right now is the Coinbase listing next week.
The largest cryptocurrency exchange in the US, Coinbase, is all set to make its trading debut on Nasdaq under the ticker “COIN” on Wednesday.
Just this week, the exchange announced its Q1 results that revealed a total revenue of approximately $1.8 billion, about $800 million in net income, $335 billion trading volume, and 56 million verified users.
“In a traditional stock portfolio, it gives exposure to an exchange platform that generates trading fees on crypto,” Greg Foss, Bitcoin investor and chief financial officer for Validus Power Corp, told Bloomberg.
“Those fees increase with volumes and volumes typically increase with prices, so there is a beta trade there.”
Coinbase is taking the direct listing route in which it won’t raise any new capital. It will allow shareholders to trade their shares without a lock-up period, which is typical in an initial public offering (IPO).
In the final week of trading on Nasdaq’s private market, Coinbase was valued at about $90 billion.
“For a crypto investor that also buys stocks, it has the ability to diversify risks as there is a very profitable exchange platform that trades on another venue (stock exchange) whose flows of buyers and sellers can be less correlated than many crypto prices.”
Regardless of which crypto assets are performing the best, Coinbase will win in all the situations as to whether the market is going up or down, the trading volume soars the same.
The market expects a lot of volatility next week as COIN begins trading and starts as a beta play on the crypto volatility and price action.
Ahead of this, exchange tokens are also enjoying repricing, with FTX’s FTT token up 760% YTD. Leading crypto exchange Binance’s native token BNB is also hitting new highs every day, now targeting $500. Growing usage of Binance Smart Chain (BSC), due to high fees on the Ethereum blockchain pricing out small users, is also pushing it upwards.
