Next Coinbase?
Any guesses on the next crypto company that’s gonna go public and mint another wave of millionaires? Particularly curious what CB folks think as they’d know the signs. BlockFi? Kraken? Gemini? Nobody?
Will they be able to go public tho? They have a coin which violates SEC’s security laws.
Would they have to go public in the US?
Anchorage Labs is interesting. Not saying it will be gigantic....but I think there is potential.
It's Krwken. Their CEO said recently in a TV appearance they were planning on going public next year. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/04/08/bitcoin-coinbase-rival-kraken-may-go-public-via-direct-listing.html?__twitter_impression=true
Kraken - My friend shared with me a doc to enter preIPO. The business looks greatly positioned and is being over shadowed by CB. When it does go public I’d get involved.
Really? Their UI is so shit tho 😂
Omg do I hate their UX.. I don’t understand how anyone uses it.. but check this - (disclaimer no idea if this is fine to show lol)
I hear Kraken has 6 year vesting period , can anyone confirm ? like 16% a year
That's what levels.fyi says. Kind of sucks if true
Yes, that would really suck if there is a cliff. If no cliff and generous refreshers it would not be a dealbreaker for me
Any thoughts on Gemini?
I heard they don’t do equity, only profit sharing
oh i just interviewed first round there. website says equity for all employees
I have best user experience on Kraken, their customer support is so responsive that almost all my issues were responded within 2 hours and resolved in a single day. Not to mention they publish quarterly crypto report to help me catch up on new trends in crypto space (e.g. NFT, DeFi)
BlockFI in US or binance in EU
Kraken , Gemini
My prediction is that mainstream payments companies will get into (and already are) cryptocurrency and that will squeeze out opportunities for crypto startups similar to Coinbase.
