Is that youre quant…?
what about the stock price ? how to determine in both cases ?
Sounds like Direct listning involves more freedom for the owner. So what is the upside with an IPO?
Also, how does an IPO vs Direct listing affect the stock price?
a new company that needs that buzz and a book of buyers ready to go, will use an ipo.
coinbase does not need this already well known.
IPO upside: capital raise (no capital raise for direct listing)
How IPO affects stock price: dilutes price because shares are created (but in practice oftentimes increases due to hype/roadshow)
if there is no seller at all ? buyer have to wait ?
Price is significantly increased?
There is always a buyer and seller. Called Market Maker.
coinbase is gonna be very interesting, gonna be a very interesting month for crypto.
I’m counting down the days!
This aged well😆
@Mark Crasto yup aged very well, I can tell you are one-dimensional in your investment knowledge! 🤣
How did you miss the key issue? These fraud prone listings are all about AVOIDING DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS. It’s money laundering at its best. Marginal, sketchy, over capitalized, etc., corps that can’t survive the light of day use this pathway to get their dirty money out by spreading that dirt to the market. These devices will be eliminated. It will take another Enron to cause it, but it’s probably already happening.
Yea, Coinbase is about to screw a bunch of people over.
So my question is , will Brian Armstrong be at the Nasdaq in Times Square ??? I’ll be shouting buy bitcoin outside
