Coinbase Global IncCoinbase launches IPO allocation access for U.S. retail traders, a new product offering starting with Oura's IPO.

Coinbase Global will offer initial public offering allocations to U.S. retail traders, beginning with Oura's IPO this week, the company said Monday. Customers can request an IPO allocation on a new IPO page in the Coinbase app by selecting a stock on the active deal page, funding their account to cover the cost of the requested shares, and submitting a conditional offer to buy once the expected price range is disclosed. When the IPO's order book closes, available shares are allocated and booked directly into the customer's account at the IPO price, and depending on underwriter supply and total customer demand, requests may be filled in full, in part, or not at all. Coinbase said its allocation algorithm prioritizes investors who believe in what they are purchasing for the long haul, and a customer who sells IPO shares in the first 30 days may risk being barred from IPO participation for the following 60 days and may receive smaller and less frequent allocations if the behavior is repeated. Coinbase stock climbed 5.7% in early morning trading, likely reflecting bitcoin's 5.4% increase to $85.6K over the last 24 hours.
