Coinbase is evolving to become the largest exchange in the world when it hits the market in days. That looks interesting.

The offering is a direct listing instead of a traditional IPO. That means the market, rather than the underwriting investment banks, will determine the opening trading price for Coinbase shares under the ticker COIN. If the company’s stock trades anything like bitcoin and the other crypto assets that change hands on its exchange, get ready for a rollercoaster. (Quartz newsletter)
