Coinbase has tapped Goldman Sachs to lead its upcoming initial public offering, per a report by Business Insider that cited industry sources published Friday.
- Coinbase announced Thursday it had filed preliminary documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in preparation for a public offering.
- Earlier this week, the firm also published a memo to clients saying that bitcoin poses no serious thread to gold's status as a last-resort monetary commodity.
- Nonetheless, Goldman has been active in the cryptocurrency industry from early on, including investments in Circle, Bitgo and other leading companies.
- Coinbase declined to comment on the report.
