Ok so not announced yet. I wonder if there are ways to set a limit buy for unlisted stocks in RH or any other more serious brokerage

For direct listing I don’t believe you can pre-invest (other than being an employee). That’s also why investment banks don’t like direct listing because they can’t get shares for cheap. For IPO you may be able to if you have a big enough portfolio (I think it’a $500k for Fidelity) but even then the number of shares are limited.

Companies that went through direct listing include: Spotify, Slack, Palantir and Asana. Airbnb was also planning for direct listing at the beginning of 2020, then COVID hit, and they had to raise money so chose traditional IPO at the end of 2020. All of these companies have one thing in common: they are doing very well after going public.

Slack was only doing well when acquisition got announced. Asana is doing decent. Palantir is the love child of wsb

Since when 80%+ gain in 4 months is only doing "decent"?

What price would you folks pay for Coinbase stock?

Going balls deep, although I wouldn't be surprised if it follows PLTR and gets punished by big money, which simply would make it a much better long term play.
