Coinbase was listed on NASDAQ on April 14, 2021 becoming the first major crypto company to go public. It has since seen a range low of $208/share and high of $430/share.
The price slide could be directly attributed to poor performance by cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, which shed after the Chinese central bank reinforced its regulatory noose around digital currencies.
