Coinbase is bringing access to initial public offering shares to eligible retail customers in the United States, with Oura set to be the first offering, according to Decrypt. Customers who qualify can submit a request to buy shares at the offering price. However, submitting a request does not ensure that shares will be allocated. The report did not provide further details on the size of the Oura offering, the timing of allocations, or the number of customers who may be eligible. The development gives US retail investors a way to request participation in an IPO through Coinbase, while making clear that access remains subject to allocation. Coinbase’s announcement places Oura at the front of the company’s planned IPO-share offering for retail users.
