What is Coinbase Global?
Coinbase Global is the parent company of Coinbase.com, a US-based, multinational online cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2012.
The company provides technological and financial infrastructure allowing users to buy, store, spend and earn cryptocurrencies on a secure platform.
The company was founded by Brian Armstrong and Fred Ehrsam and has quickly grown to become the largest crypto exchange operating in the US with more than 7,000 institutional clients and over 56 million verified users.
The company went public in an initial public offering (IPO) on 14 April 2021. Opening at a price of $381, the stock quickly climbed to a high of $429.54 before closing at $328.28 on its first day of trading.
The level of investor interest in the company is demonstrated by the huge volume of trades on its first listed day, with more than 81 million shares swapping hands. There was some volatility in the initial weeks, with the price falling below $300 towards the end of April in 2021.
Performance of Coinbase stock price
The Coinbase share price history is relatively limited as the company only went public recently. There was a high degree of volatility during the opening weeks and the company was trading at an average volume of 7.5 million shares a day near the end of April 2021.
The Coinbase stock price chart shows that in the early weeks the price fluctuated between $282.07 and $429.54. An income statement released by the company in February, prior to the IPO, shows that it generated quarterly revenues of $1.27bn with a net income of $322.3m. While its estimated first-quarter results for 2021 reports total revenue of approximately $1.8bn and net income of $730m-$800m.
The company has a market cap of roughly $60bn as investors await the initial financial reports since the company went public. While the performance of the company is influenced by the prices of cryptocurrency, the business model employed generates income through transaction fees each time it is used and the Coinbase share price is not completely correlated to rising and falling crypto prices.
