Coinbase’s IPO is coming.
[11]
And once again, no one does it like Chico...we have been following it closer than anyone
[16]
else since the news 1st leaked.
[19]
Obviously the floodgates are now opened, it’s public news that the event is near...although
[25]
there are still hidden leaks, that only this channel can find.
[29]
You ready to sip our drip, because it’s time for eChico Crypto!
[37]
The news crossing the airwaves was oh so bullish yesterday.
[41]
Pre-Trading through Nasdaq private Markets had already commanded a 77 billion dollar
[47]
valuation for the company….
[49]
So, let’s break this down.
[51]
In the Coindesk article it says last week's closing price of $303 dollars per share.
[58]
But it also says “Coinbase pre-IPO futures contracts were trading on crypto derivatives
[64]
exchange FTX at about $386 at the time of writing.
[69]
At $386 bucks per share, that commands a higher valuation of nearly 100 billion dollars.
[76]
And by the time the IPO actually begins, that could be the price on Nasdaq’s own private
[82]
markets.
[84]
So I just want to play what I said about this nearly 2 months ago, right after I cut my
[89]
long hair & bitcoin cracked 20k…
[106]
Uh ya, we predicted that like no one else could.
[138]
So what was that video all about back then?
[141]
It was about eventually getting to $100k per BTC.
[145]
It was price predictions due to the coinbase IPO, let’s listen to my prediction back
[150]
in December with the price chart going along with my predictions….
[189]
Holy Shmackeral, I
[212]
was almost dead on...a shooter mcgaven of sorts.
[214]
But now it’s time to pull out shooters crux, the adam sandler long drive…..
[222]
So my friends, these shares of Coinbase...they have been trading.
[226]
Like the Coinbase article said “Nasdaq’s” Private markets have valued them at 303 dollars.
[231]
The article states “The Coinbase private market is running an anonymous order book
[237]
ahead of the company’s direct public listing, a date for which is still unknown.
[241]
The sale allows current and former employees, as well as investors in Coinbase, to take
[246]
some cash off the table.
[248]
Around 254 million shares in Coinbase will be outstanding and available to trade when
[253]
the firm goes public, according to sources with knowledge of the offering”
[258]
So what we can take from that, is coinbase insiders & investors are getting to play around
[262]
pre-ipo, either get cash themselves or increase their Coinbase share stack….but the major
[268]
piece of that from Coindesk is “the coinbase private market is running an “anonymous”
[274]
order book.
[275]
Yes, the order book is hidden, it's not open to just anyone.
[279]
It’s anonymous.
[280]
Why is that??
[281]
Why hasn’t there been a lick of information about those who get to trade the asset.
[286]
Coinbase Shares?
[287]
Literally you cannot find a single person talking about their experience.
[291]
Why?
[292]
Well I think there is an NDA, holding those trading it back...as they have something to
[297]
announce in March...
[299]
Coinbase will be taking a different route than the typical IPO…
[303]
Of course we know when they go public, they are taking the unorthodox route of a direct
[309]
listing.
[310]
But that is not the full story….
[311]
To figure out the full story, we have to back up to the end of 2018...it was leaked that
[317]
Nasdaq was considering launching regulated crypto token trading venue, for securities
[323]
tokens...well just a few months later, early 2019 it was announced that they had invested
[329]
20 million bucks into Symbiont...and the article stated “As part of the investment, Nasdaq
[336]
Financial Framework, a software company owned by the exchange, will integrate Symbiont’s
[340]
Assembly smart contracts platform to explore new avenues involving tokenization”
[346]
Well, this integration has come...July of 2020 this news came and got swept under the
[352]
rug.
[353]
But Ben Jesell, contributor to Forbes knew something was up.
[356]
He posted “Nasdaq’s New Platform Backed By R3, Digital Asset, Symbiont And Microsoft
[363]
May Not Be What You Think It Is”...his article stated “Last week, the exchange giant Nasdaq
[369]
announced the launch of its SaaS based digital asset suite named the Marketplace Services
[374]
platform”
[375]
Going to Nasdaq’s own explainer on this they say “The Nasdaq Marketplace Services
[380]
Platform provides a complete, end-to-end service-based platform to operate marketplaces in a cloud
[386]
environment.
[387]
Built on top of the Nasdaq Financial Framework...remember that is what symbiont was brought on for in
[393]
early 2019, to integrate into Nasdaq’s Financial Framework, that is what coindesk said.
[399]
Nasdaq continues “the platform provides access to functionally-robust services covering
[405]
the transaction lifecycle -- from issuance of assets and trading through pre-trade risk
[410]
management, market surveillance and efficient digital custody and settlement”
[415]
So the big question is this...has Nasdaq’s anonymous Coinbase private market integrated
[421]
with Nasdaq’s marketplace services platform, which is built with blockchain & focused on
[427]
digital assets?
[429]
Well, in November of 2020.
[433]
This news was dropped.
[434]
A company called Templum shifted from Ethereum to a Symbiont-Built Private Blockchain for
[441]
STOs.
[442]
Yes Templum was using symbiont and nasdaq marketplace services to issue their STO.
[448]
And the article stated “Regulatory compliance also poses a challenge when using Ethereum
[454]
for security tokens.
[456]
According to Templum CEO Christopher Pallotta, legal concerns over the status of Ethereum
[461]
miners also played a role in Templum’s latest transition.
[465]
Pallotta said “We believe for securities issuance, you need a private, controlled blockchain
[470]
… [you] need control of the full lifecycle.”
[473]
So….there is still a chance that Coinbase has tokenized in the private markets, the
[477]
news isn’t out yet.
[479]
And I want to replay this clip, of Jeff Roberts, Senior fortune magazine contributor, when
[484]
he was on the Unchained podcast in July of last year.
[487]
Jeff, had spoken to Fred Ehrsam, Coinase co-founder jut weeks earlier, discussing the IPO and
[493]
tokenization.
[494]
Here is what Jeff said after talking to Coinbase’s co-founder and board seat holder.
[528]
So when could we figure this out?
[531]
Will it be a combination STO/IPO??
[534]
Well back to Coindesk’s 77 billion valuation article posted yesterday.
[539]
They said “Hopes for Coinbase’s public listing are riding high within the crypto
[543]
community, especially as the price of Bitcoin continues to reach above $50,000.
[548]
(More will be revealed about Coinbase’s finances when the confidential S-1 it filed
[554]
with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is made public in the coming weeks.)
[559]
In the coming weeks, we should know the full story….and like Coinbase’s own co-founder,
[565]
if they go the typical IPO route, with no blockchain involvement….
[576]
That would be really boring...but, no matter what happens, tokenization or not.
[588]
It’s going to be much hyped...within the crypto community and beyond!!
[593]
A flood of publicity, a flood of eyes on the base.
[596]
Which isn’t going to be a bad thing, for those projects connected to them..
[601]
The BIG airdrop that is going under the radar...Pool.
[605]
People don’t realize how big the lottery industry is (200 billion dollars) and pool
[611]
is connected to the base.
[613]
Like I showed yesterday, their USDC bootstrap fund invested in them along with Uniswap back
[618]
in April of last year….
[620]
Well the connections are bigger than just that me thinks.
[623]
Why??
[624]
Well co-founder of pool together posted this on medium, in November of 2020 about the dapp.
[631]
He said about dapp connections to coinbase “Wallet Link" is what you will use to connect
[637]
with your coinbase wallet!”
[639]
What is Wallet Link?
[640]
Well going to it’s landing page, it seems to be a development tool for connecting to
[645]
the Coinbase Wallet, as that is the only wallet it connects to now...and Coinbase Peter Kim
[651]
is featured speaking on it, on the website.
[654]
Now the dapps it connects to, is oh so telling.
[658]
Compound a token, and it’s on Coinbase.
[661]
DyDx...no token, but Coinabse and Andressen Horowitz connected.
[667]
Maker a token, and 2 of them are on coinbase MKR and Dai, IDEX an exchange, with a token,
[675]
not on Coinbase, and why?
[677]
It’s a competitor coinbase it is not invested in.
[682]
Uniswap, a token, on Coinbase, but a coinbase competitor, why listed?
[688]
Well Coinbase and Horowitz connected, and CBs USDC fund also invested in them.
[695]
0x protocol, same story as Uniswap, token, on Coinbase, competitor….but on there as
[701]
they are connected.
[703]
How about Airswap?
[705]
Token, but coinbase competitor and no connections.
[709]
Now we get to pool Together.
[711]
Token just launched, Coinbase connected.
[713]
Those connected have their tokens on the exchange.
[718]
Does this hold true with the other?
[722]
Kyber Network, token, on Coinbase..connected.
[724]
1inch token, not on Coinbase yet...are they connected?
[727]
Not that I know of.
[729]
Sablier, Zerion, DeFi Saver, Set Protocol, DDEX, and NUO...no tokens.
[734]
But synthetix & aave, tokens & on coinbase.
[738]
So through the process of elimination, through wallet link, it makes me think there is a
[745]
likelihood of POOL eventually being added to the base.
[749]
They have a token, they had an investment from Coinbase, and they are one of the projects
[754]
using the wallet LINK.
[755]
That is just a bit of research on my part, but fundamentally Pool is here to change the
[757]
DeFi game.
[759]
Before the token was aidropped and released, they launched something special.
[763]
The Prize Pool builder february 9th, which the blog states “It’s now possible for
[768]
anyone in the world to deploy a no loss prize pool for any token”
[774]
Going to the builder super simple, you choose your type of no loss prize pool...you choose
[779]
the parameters of the deposit token, you choose the Random Number Generator service, which
[786]
they are in partnership with Chainlink as one of the selections, you enter the prize
[791]
period in number of days, the number of winners, and finally the fairness which includes early
[797]
exit fees & the fee decay time.
[800]
Not complex to create, and anyone can do it.
[803]
A person, a dapp, an influencer like myself.
[807]
It has far reaching implications for the world of social tokens, and NFTs.
[813]
How will this play out is to be seen.
[815]
But I’m excited for the spring and then summer, and the pool to warm up!
[820]
Cheers I’ll see you next time!
