- It acts as an intermediary for people buying and selling cryptocurrencies.
- As bitcoin goes, so goes this one-trick pony of a financial intermediary. What exactly is in store for the legions of the crypto faithful?
A financial firm by the name of Coinbase (COIN) went public this week, and instantly garnered a market capitalization of $76 billion. How big is $76 billion? Well, it's bigger than the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange (worth $73 billion at today's prices). It's bigger than CME Group, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange that is home to much of the world's futures, options and other financial derivatives activity (about $64 billion). And it completely dwarfs NASDAQ, Inc. ($26 billion), where the world's technology superstars and their up-and-coming rivals come out to play.
