Coinbase filed an S-1 form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its initial public offering. There were no pricing details mentioned in the filing, although the offering is valued up to $1.0 billion but this number seems to be just a placeholder. Note that this will not be a traditional IPO, instead registered stockholders will be able sell their shares according to the prospectus but this is unclear at the moment. The firm intends to list its shares on the Nasdaq under the symbol COIN.<\/p>\n

There were no underwriters listed in the filing, because again this will not be a traditional IPO.<\/p>\n

Coinbase\u2019s mission is to create an open financial system for the world via a \u201ccryptoeconomy\u201d. The company was founded in 2012 and it has since built a platform for accessing Bitcoin and the broader cryptoeconomy by reducing the complexity of the industry through a simple and intuitive user experience.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the company\u2019s offerings:<\/p>\n
