Cryptocurrencies og Nasdaq skrev børshistorie i går, da verdens første børs for cryptocurrencies, Coinbase, blev noteret. Umiddelbart fik børsen en markedsværdi på 75 milliarder dollar, men i dagens løb faldt kursen og dermed markedsværdien til 65 milliarder dollar. Den blev ved børsstarten handlet til 381 dollar, men faldt til 328 dollar. Det var nøjagtigt den udvikling, som Saxo Bank forudså. Coinbase er i værdi på niveau med moderselskabet for New York-børsen, ICE.
Market Quick Take
What are we watching next?
The Coinbase IPO launched with the ticker COIN on the Nasdaq (COIN:xnas in SaxoTrader) –
This is a highly anticipated IPO, given that Coinbase is the largest US cryptocurrency exchange and more profitable than other exchanges in traditional financial products.
The company is certainly lucky with its timing as the listing comes at a time when many cryptocurrencies have surged to new all-time highs, including the two biggest, Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The reference price has been set to $250 per share which equals a market value on a fully diluted basis of $65.3bn, but it is our expectation that the opening price in the auction will be much higher given the latest run-up in Bitcoin prices above $64,000.
