The cryptocurrency boom shows no signs of slowing. With retail and institutional interest only increasing, and a new IPO from Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) on the way, the global cryptocurrency market just hit a market cap of $2.2 trillion, as Bitcoin rallied to $63,420. That’s great news for cryptocurrency related companies like TechX Technologies Inc.’s (CSE:TECX)(OTC:LLNKF)(FRA:C0B:FF) Catalyx.io, Riot Blockchain (NASDAQ:RIOT), Marathon Digital Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:MARA), and MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR).
Helping, Coinbase will start trading on Wednesday. According to Blomberg, “The NASDAQ set a reference price of $250 for the direct listing.” If that’s the case, it would give the company a valuation of nearly $50 billion. In addition, “Since this is the first major U.S. cryptocurrency exchange to be publicly listed, it could be a major step towards the widespread adoption of digital currency and will go a long way towards legitimizing the industry. This is one of the big reasons why the company’s debut is attracting so much attention,” reported Entrepreneur.
Again, that could be incredibly beneficial for companies like TechX Technologies Inc., which just announced that its portfolio company, Catalyx.io achieved 1,542% quarter over quarter growth in trading volume.
