Reuters first to report crypto exchange Coinbase readies landmark stock market listing

Reuters was first to report that Coinbase Inc has initiated preparations for a stock market listing that could come as early as this year, making it the first major U.S. cryptocurrency exchange to go public. The listing would need the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s blessing. Were the securities watchdog to greenlight it, it would represent a landmark victory for cryptocurrency advocates vying for its endorsement.
