According to the official publication of Nasdaq, the reference stock price is set at $250 per Share.
Nasdaq has given Coinbase’s stock, COIN, a reference price of $250. The stock will officially be listed today, April 14.
Nasdaq has given Coinbase a reference stock price of $250, according to new information on the San Francisco-based exchange’s listing. Nasdaq listed the stock on April 14, after weeks of high anticipation.
The reference price was given as a result of regulation, which determines price when there has not been sustained trading in a private market. The exchange has been given a valuation of $90 billion, based on prior private sales.
Before Coinbase went public, it traded on the Nasdaq private market for about $343.5. There is a clear difference compared to the reference stock price of $250. Cryptocurrency derivatives exchange FTX traded Coinbase shares for over $ 600.
Expert Opinion
Since Coinbase listing is the first case of any crypto exchange listing on Nasdaq, it is attracting attention not only in the cryptocurrency industry but also in Wall Street finance.
Mike McGlone, senior commodity strategist at Bloomberg, believes that Coinbase listings could have as much impact on the market as Tesla’s Bitcoin buying news as a tailwind for Bitcoin (BTC) to rise to $70,000.
