I found this nice infochart about IPO visualizations, and I was surprised to see that Coinbase was the largest IPO in 2021.

With a 86 billion dollars valuation, it was the largest of the year of 2021.

Let's see what is waiting us in the future. I was really impressed with the size of this IPO and I didn't expect a so much successful one by coinbase.

Will Binance do one some day? They are are now complying to all regulations, and just began enforcing mandatory KYC on all users amid mounting regulatory pressure

They are probably looking to comply to do something bigger.

That's definitely a very interesting and well visualized graphic to represent all the IPO's so far this year. To anyone looking at the statistics, Coinbase was a real money making machine when it launched this year - the fees that they are able to charge bring in huge profits and their first mover (biggest surviving exchange so far) size advantage helps them to dominate the market. Binance must also be raking in the profits with their extortionate withdrawal fees and the amount that they're able to raise from trading - unlike the fairly standard buy/sell functionality of Coinbase. You really have to question if we're in some kind of bubble when you see results like that and it's worth considering that the price has dropped around 25% since launch.

I knew there has been A LOT of Complaints concerning Coinbase and their laughably bad customer support, but what do you mean by "highly corrupt" specifically? In what way?

The only possible corruption I saw regarding coinbase was insider information and market manipulation during bch drama in 2017
There was some investigation  but I think nothing happened.

Coinbase has launched an internal probe to identify whether its employees engaged in insider trading of Bitcoin Cash shortly before the cryptocurrency was officially introduced to the exchange yesterday. Increased trading led to a spike in Bitcoin Cash’s valuation, and just four hours after its introduction, Coinbase suspended trading of the digital currency.

Coinbase’s ethics policy prevents employees from “trading on ‘material non-public information,’ such as when a new asset will be added to our platform,” wrote Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong in a Medium post today. That includes sharing that information with friends and family. In the hours before Coinbase added Bitcoin Cash to its exchange, the price of the cryptocurrency had already begun to rise. The price for a single Bitcoin Cash coin soared past $8,000, or more than double its price a day earlier.


They concluded nothing wrong happened:

Coinbase, the biggest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, launched an inquiry last December into whether its employees engaged in improper trading related to the digital currency known as Bitcoin Cash. Now, Fortune has learned, the company has wrapped up the investigation and concluded no wrongdoing took place.

Is anyone else amazed that during the whole Coinbase IPO phase, both all of the hype leading up to and during the IPO day, that almost no one at all brought up the fact that Coinbase is a HIGHLY corrupt organization.  It honestly sickened me to see all of the hype that they were getting yet it wasn't mentioned nearly what so ever of all of the corrupt shit that Coinbase has been involved in since they opened up. Just saying is all.

I'm not sure if I'd be impressed with that or not--do you think Coinbase is actually worth $86 billion?  I just took a look at their P/E, and it's 30.64.  That's probably low for a tech stock, but for a financial institution (which is basically what Coinbase is), it's high.  They've either got to keep growing their profits or their stock price is going to sink until that P/E is down to around 10-15, in my opinion.

On the other hand, they do have real earnings, which is more than can probably be said for a lot of companies on that infogram.  I don't recognize most of the names on it, but they sound like they're mostly tech companies and I'd bet that most of them don't even have any earnings yet.
I think it's because people look at Coinbase a lot more of a tech growth stock than an actual finance company. And the fact that Coinbase holds crypto(and are planning on buying more using $500m as per the recent announcement), people can use Coinbase as a sort of "safer" crypto index.

I'd only invest in Coinbase if they started to pay a dividend, which most financial stocks do.  At least with that, there's some reason to hold the stock if it doesn't produce any capital gains.
Knowing that the cryptocurrency space is a fast moving industry, I doubt they'd provide dividends anytime soon. Knowing that new potential revenue streams could appear out of nowhere; they'd definitely want to always have money ready.

I think binance would take a few years to do an ipo though, it's potentially something for about 4 years time but it'll take them a while to get to the point coinbase was at.

I'm also not sure where they'd hold the ipo since a lot of Americans mightve invested because the ipo was in the US, putting binance's in Singapore might make them less trusted and might block US customers from investing too (due to regulations).
