Stock market investors valued Coinbase at $75.9bn in its debut on Nasdaq on Wednesday, the first listing of a major cryptocurrency exchange and a moment of validation for the digital asset class some 12 years after the creation of bitcoin. Shares drifted lower through the trading day — from an opening price of $381 to $328 — but even at the close Coinbase had a market capitalisation of $65.4bn, rivalling that of the New York Stock Exchange’s parent company, ICE, which is worth $67bn. Coinbase would be valued at $85.8bn including options and other kinds of stock-based awards. The company holds assets for 56m retail customers and operates the largest digital coin exchange in the US — a business that has rocketed in recent months along with the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
