Coinbase announced the submission of the Form S-1 on December 17th 2020. The form is expected to become effective after the SEC completes its review process.
UPDATE: apologies for the incorrect date originally mentioned in this report. I found it on a forum, but after further research concluded it to be unsubstantiated.
Yes apologies, I had read in a forum that the day would be around this time. However, after reviewing the forum it seemed to be unsubstantiated. I included the date merely to put pressure on Freetrade to offer this stock as soon as it becomes available.
Just gimme that date. Might be the first IPO I get involved with, not cos I massively love the company, just cos it’s something I could see holding long term.
I’m gonna message Hargreaves Lansdown and see of they can get me on the list, once the listing is announced. No idea how this stuff works.
Anyone got any updates on this? Ive never partaken in an IPO before but feel this one could be right for me. I know its sounds stupid but is it the same as buying normal shares? Just wait to the morning of the IPO and hit buy in the app or do you have to do anything different?
Buying shares of a company which has just IPO’d is exactly the same as buying shares in any other company, but there are some important details to note ahead of them becoming available to invest in.
Most notably, that the stock does not become available to the retail investor until usually a couple of hours at least after market open.
