Coinbase Brings IPO Shares to US Retail Traders, With Oura Up First
Summary
Coinbase is expanding beyond crypto by letting eligible U.S. users request IPO shares through its app, starting with Oura’s planned Nasdaq debut this week. Users can submit interest at the IPO price, but allocations are not guaranteed and may be full, partial, or denied depending on demand. Coinbase says it will favor investors who hold shares longer, while quick selling may reduce future access. The launch is part of Coinbase’s broader “Everything Exchange” strategy, which also includes U.S. perpetual futures on stocks, tokenized stocks outside the U.S., and plans to add more traditional market products internationally.
